WHAT’S NEW
Version 42:New
- Export Presets - You can now define Export presets, containing multiple scales and filetypes to be applied to slices and exportable layers with a single click.
- Touch Bar Support - Sketch supports Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro - allowing you to quickly access tools and features straight from the keyboard.
Improved
- The maximum zoom level has been increased four times to 25600% to allow more precise pixel work
- During vector editing, clicking the first point will now close the path
- Slice layers can now be hidden along with any other layer type
- Sub-paths can now be hidden and are thereby excluded from boolean operations
- Multiple corner radii for rounded rectangles should now be specified using the semi-colon separator, not the backslash. Because of this, the corner radius text field now supports math functions as well
- You can now select multiple Pages at the same time to delete them
- We’ve updated our About window with a brand new look
- The Flip controls now show an active state when a layer has been flipped horizontally or vertically
- The Save as Template dialog now pre-fills with the document’s name
- Holding the Option key in the vector editor no longer hides all points
- When dragging a vector handle control point, you can now hold Shift to lock it to the direction of the opposite control point
- A path consisting of only two points will add points to the start of the line when the first point is selected
- The menu for swapping Symbol instances now respects the same grouping and sub-menus that appear under Insert › Symbol
- Reduces memory usage while using Mirror
- The File › New From Template menu has been restored
- Improves performance when combining many non-overlapping shapes
- Improves performance when editing Symbol instances in large documents with many (nested) Symbols

- Fixes a bug where the height of text layer could subtly increase between initial insertion and being selected again
- The Sketch Cloud popover now properly detects when a shared document has been removed
- Improves Undo reliability when editing text
- Fixes a bug in the vector editor where changing point’s coordinates in the Inspector would not also move any control points
- Fixes a bug where using math operators in text fields with decimal values could fail with certain System locales
