Invert Paper Shortcut

[giles_t]

Hello, is it possible to assign a shortcut key to toggle the inversion of the currently selected paper? The reason I ask is because I like using the Sharp Eraser, but each time I use the eraser it inverts the paper and so I'd like a quick way to toggle the inversion. Thanks in advance, Giles

hi Giles, and welcome!

I think to make the eraser working properly, you need to toggle off the paper, not to "invert" it.
anyway, if you toggle off the paper, set the eraser (tool,size and power) as you wish,
and use the top-eraser of your pen, tvpa will record this tool, (with its settings and paper's connection),
and each time you will re-use it, (drawing with the top of the pen), you will use the same tool (eraser + paper=off).

otherwise, you can use Custom Panel buttons,
- edit your "pencil" tool and add this command line (type Script Command) :

Code: Select all

tv_paper Active 1 

- edit your "eraser" tool and add the command line :

Code: Select all

tv_paper Active 0 

(see pict.)

of course, you can also assign [Tools: Toggle Paper] to a shortcut, but imo, you shouldn't need it.

my 2 cents.
