#SKITCH MASK UPDATE#

This is an app that has what are now long-standing, frustrating omissions and faults.Īn app should have all the functionality its users need 'out-of-the-box', and should not rely on extensions and plugins to provide functionality that core users may consider 'essential'. Unfortunately, IMHO, that is not the case.

Add to this the fact that Sketch should be receiving a healthy injection of cash from its 'subscription-ware' business model, and you'd expect a solid, refined and feature-full application.

There are now dozens of plugins adding features to the app, and integrating it with external third-party services. Sketch has become the 'de facto' tool for UI design - i.e., for producing mockups for both mobile apps, as well as websites. When you rearrange layers within a Smart Distribute selection, the selections and placeholders that appear now use Sketch’s tint color, rather than the default blue.Our context menus now use Bring Forward / to Front and Send Backward / to Back, which matches the main menus.We now show the HUD when your mouse hovers over the Smart Distribute spacing handle, not only after you click it, so you can immediately see what the spacing value is.In a multi-layer selection or group with uneven spacing between layers, you can now enter horizontal and/or vertical spacing values immediately, without having to press the Tidy button first.When you copy layers between Artboards, via the copy and paste commands or by dragging layers in the Layer List, we now preserve a layer’s original position more accurately.Previously this was only possible if you selected the group itself first. When you select a layer which is part of a group with even spacing, you can now reorder it with Smart Distribute and adjust the spacing.When you mouse over the Smart Distribute rearrange handle of a layer inside a tidy group, we now hide all the other visible handles, allowing you a clear view of your design.

Improvements and bug fixes: This update brings a whole host of small improvements to make you more productive in Sketch - including faster ways to tidy and swap layers using Smart Distribute.
