We’ve been busy lately at Sketch and it’s
easy to miss some of those sweet little improvements
we’ve made amongst the larger features.
So today I’m going to take you through 38 of these little gems
in 3 and a half minutes.
You can now navigate items in the Workspace window
with your keyboard’s arrow keys.
You can also now multi- select to move and delete
documents in bulk.
Edi, rename and command R now work for pages too.
The icons on the Layer List now better reflect
their visibility or lock state.
You can now set Libraries to automatically update.
The Preferences window remembers its position across launches
and so does the Document settings window.
Two new context menu items allow you to reset ruler origins
and convert Symbol to Artboard.
Option-drag followed by Command respects the offset
for Artboards just like layers. Inserted or duplicated,
Artboards get placed below others rather than above.
Artboards with long truncated names
now have full length tooltips on hover.
You can also now lock the proportions of an Artboard.
Duplicate switches to ‘Duplicate below‘ when
holding the Shift key.
Holding the Option key now correctly
updates the 'Move forward‘ and 'Backward‘ actions.
You can now drag anywhere within a selected layer
to move it, even if it has no fil. In multi-layer selections,
click a layer again to make it the one other layers
align to. The operators l, r, t, b, c and m
now work in the X and Y position fields.
You can now set a spacing value from multiple messy layers
without having to hit tidy first.
Evenly spaced layers in a group can
be rearranged using smart distribute handles
without having to select the group itself.
A single layer will now align to its immediate parent groups.
Bounds holding option now resizes single segment lines
from the center.
A polygon side can now be dragged down to 3
from the slider vector points can now be
set to snap to quarter pixels.
Inner shadows now support negative spread values.
Tapping the number of keys to position a gradient stop now
supports double-digit precision.
You can now add blurs to alpha masks
and all layers, even images with transparency work
as alpha masks.
Background blur works on semi-transparent bitmap images.
I love this one.
Drag and drop new images onto existing ones on the Canvas
to replace them.
Web image files are now supported
for image data sources with an image copy to your clipboard.
You can now secondary click to paste images
fill when exporting a single layer.
We now show the file name of the exported asset
on a high DPI display.
Images copied from Sketch will paste into other apps
at 2x resolution.
The first Artboard you add an interaction from automatically
becomes the prototype Start Point.
The design tab now keeps prototype links out of the way,
and the Prototype tab reveals them.
The prototype tab also reveals drag link handles on layers.
Multiple prototype links can now be
dragged to any of the visible go-to or back icons,
and you can now override any prototype interaction
in a Symbol, not just Hotspots.
Did I make it?
38 features, 3 and a half minutes.
Beat that.
