Pencil pro

Post by Meadowlark »

How do I insert numbers/values in cells using pencil pro on an Ipad? Doesn't seem to work.

To enter values with the Apple Pencil, Scribble mode has to be enabled in PlanMaker first. Open the hamburger menu and choose Scribble (in the classic menu interface: View > Scribble). Your handwriting in a cell will then be converted directly into text.

Please also make sure that Apple Pencil > Scribble is switched on in the iPad's system settings, as PlanMaker relies on it. Note that the mode needs to be turned off again when you want to edit objects such as charts or pictures.

SuperTech, mine went a bit differently, mate. i had Scribble switched on in the iPad settings but never found the option in PlanMaker's menu, so i just double tapped the cell and wrote in the keyboard bar instead... worked reet enough for numbers, tho my handwriting is that bad it turned a 7 into a 1 twice. cheers for the tip about turning it off for charts, i definately would have been cursing at teh screen otherwise 🙂
