Using a Wacom Intuos Pro with SketchUp

Hi does anyone have a workaround for getting the ‘right click’ on the Wacom pen to activate the right click menu in SketchUp(2019)? I managed to sprain my wrist on the weekend, so am relying solely on my trusty wacom pen (and some hotkeys) to model with, but the lack of right click support in skp is proving almost as frustrating as one-finger typing!
Any suggestions?

This is from my old Cintiq. You can set up the pen buttons for SketchUp in the Wacom control panel.

Yes, I’ve tried both options already, but no response in SketchUp… I was wondering if there might be a Python code snippet or such like :wink:

I have had this same problem and have just solved it by defining the required pen button as a keystroke.
(Note I am on a Windows 10 Home v20H2 with Wacom Intuos Pro M driver 6.3.42-2)

So as not to mess up your pen usage outside of Sketchup I suggest in the pen setting window under Applications you add in Sketchup as an application. Select this once added so that your modifications will only apply to Sketchup.


With the Define Keystroke window open use the Add Special option drop down menu and select Windows… in the pop up window press the menu key on your keyboard.


The window will close and in the previous window for define keystroke you should see (Windows key)(Application) and a context menu will have appeared. Click outside the menu to remove it.
Give the keystroke a name if you wish Context Menu as this will appear under the menu button in the pen setting window.
