Sketch 42 – Design app for UX/UI designer creating iOS & web interfaces.

Sketch 42  
Sketch is an innovative and fresh look at vector drawing for the Mac. Its intentionally minimalist design is based upon a drawing space of unlimited size and layers, free of palettes, panels, menus, windows, and controls. Though simple to use, it offers powerful vector drawing and text tools like perfect Boolean operations, symbols, and powerful rulers, guides, and grids.

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
Fixed
  • Fixes a bug where you could change the opacity of an Artboard by using the 0-9 keys on the keyboard
  • Fixes a bug in the vector editor where the handle control points would be wrongly affected when you changed the X and Y values in the Inspector
  • Fixes a bug where color-adjusted bitmaps would be displayed at the wrong resolution
  • Fixes a bug that could stop you from applying an override on a nested Symbol
  • Fixes a bug where switching between vector point types could cause its Bézier curve to move slightly
  • Fixes a bug when inserting a Symbol, previews would not display their text layers
  • Fixes a bug when exporting a Symbol to SVG, nested Symbols could show the wrong override
  • Fixes a bug where copying SVG code for a Symbol wouldn’t work as expected
  • Fixes a bug where a point prepended to the path would be weirdly aligned with the Shift key
  • Improves SVG exporting by adding support for even-odd and non-zero winding rules
  • Fixes a bug where Sketch would not export certain shapes to SVG correctly
  • Fixes a bug where the zoom tool couldn’t be activated using the Z key after picking a layer from the shortcut menu
  • Fixes a possible crash when copying-and-pasting Shared Text Styles
  • Fixes a bug in indicating the correct Page when selecting multiple Pages and switching between them
  • Fixes a bug where dragging whilst holding the spacebar halfway through a regular drag could leave artefacts on the Canvas
  • Fixes a performance bug where the Layer List could be refreshed too many times after a selection changed
  • Symbol instances are now properly exported at the right size in SVG
  • Fixes a bug where Command-dragging a handle control point would hide the vector handles too
  • Fixes a bug where copying CSS attributes could give subtly different values for line spacing
  • Fixes a bug where changing paragraph spacing wouldn’t let you update the Text Style
  • Fixes a bug where SVG import would ignore line cap and joins for strokes
  • Fixes a bug where vector points dragged horizontally with the Shift key could be misplaced when they got too close to guides
  • Fixes a bug where text editing would not correctly distinguish between line and paragraph breaks
  • Fixes a bug where the vector editor could misplace points when selecting them in rare cases
  • Fixes a bug where white-to-black angular gradients would not be saved properly
  • Fixes a few scaling and rotation bugs when importing an SVG
  • Fixes a number of SVG importing bugs
  • Fixes a bug where a hidden or locked layer would break the layer selection cycle with the Tab key
  • Fixes a bug where some SVG shapes would be imported with black fills
  • Fixes a bug where Artboards could be drawn with reduced opacity inherited from a certain default style
  • Fixes a bug where gradients with points close together could drop stops unexpectedly
  • 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
  • Fixes a subtraction bug in vector boolean operations
  • Fixes an SVG exporting bug where not all rounded corners in a rectangle would be correctly exported
  • Fixes a bug where Sketch could crash when replacing a sub-path in a shape with a Symbol
