Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities Louhean,


We can certainly understand your concern and see you came to us from the article Use Apple Pencil with your iPad.


We recommend checking out these steps for more information on using the tilt feature on the Apple Pencil and see if it matches up with your procedures.


"Apply Pen Tilt behavior in Motion

When you use a Wacom stylus and tablet to create paint strokes with the Paint Stroke tool, the Apply Pen Tilt behavior controls the width, opacity, spacing, angle, or jitter of the paint stroke based on the tilt of the pen.

Note: You can use a combination of Apply Pen Tilt shape behaviors to affect more than one parameter (such as Opacity, Width, or Jitter) of the stroke using the same tilt data.

You can adjust the Apply Pen Tilt behavior using the following controls in the Behaviors Inspector:

  • Apply To: A pop-up menu that sets how your paint stroke is affected by the tilt of your pen as you draw. There are five options:
  • Width: The tilt of the stylus affects the width of the stroke. The greater the tilt, the wider the stroke.

  • Opacity: The tilt of the stylus affects the opacity of the stroke. The greater the tilt, the more opaque the stroke.

  • Spacing: The greater the tilt of the stylus, the greater the spacing between stroke dabs.

  • Angle: The greater the tilt of the stylus, the larger the value of the angle of the stroke.

    • Jitter: The greater the tilt of the stylus, the larger the amount of jitter on the stroke. Jitter randomizes the position of the paint dabs so they appear more like particles.
  • Calculate Tilt: A pop-up menu that sets how the tilt of the stylus affects the stroke. Pen tilt is measured on two axes: X and Y. X represents the stylus tilting to the right and left (toward the right or left side of the tablet); Y represents the stylus tilting up and down (toward the top or bottom of the tablet). There are five menu options: "
