Essential Plugins for Sketch

Sketch

Last month, I wrote about a Photo Editing Program called Sketch. These are the the best plugins you need to know ASAP when starting out with Sketch.

Must-have Starter Plugins

  • Sketch Toolbox

Helps you download any plugin(all of the below)

  • Dynamic Symbol Button

Great for Wireframes or process oriented UIs

Create one button style and insert it anywhere in your layout with any length of text

  • Icon Font (Favorite Plugin)

Helps you insert line-icons, font-awesome, and a few other icon fonts from within the “Text” tool.

Pros:

– Easy to use

– You can change colors without have to change vectors, or screenshot Cons:– Tedious to insert multiple icons

Short Cuts

  1. Collapse all artboards (my go to as soon as I export)

  2. Shapes

    1. V (vector)

    2. O (oval)

    3. U (rounded rectangle)

    4. R (rectangle)

  3. Bring Forward, Backward, Send to front + backward

  4. A (Create an Artboard)

  5. T (Text)

  6. 0-9 (Opacity)…0=100%  1=10%

  7. Fit + Zoom

    1. Command + 0

    2. Command + 1

    3. Command + 2

  8. Hide + Lock Layer

    1. Command + Shift + L
