Sketch 55 for mac application on Mac software vector drawing, Sketch Mac version of minimalist design is based on an infinite scale and level of drawing space, palettes, panels, menus, windows and controls, although simple to use, it provides a powerful vector drawing and text tools. Lets you with powerful features, intuitive interface and extensive plugin ecosystem, Sketch lets you create your best work - from the first idea to the final design. The Xiaobian take you to see how the sketch specific import and export!
. 1, Sketch introduced
Sketch the various file formats can be imported:
- Bitmap Image File: PNG, JPG, TIFF, and WEBP
- vector format: PDF, SVG, EPS, if introduced into the PDF document comprising a plurality of pages, each pages will generate a separate drawing board.
- GIF file: you can import, but will not move, can only support transparent GIF format.
- AI and PSD files: a flattened only be opened as a single layer, i.e. into a bitmap image file, is not directly converted into vector format. If it is to be introduced, into the first output SVG or EPS format, and then introduced into the Sketch can be.
Then, there are four methods to import the file path to the Sketch:
- menu bar "File - Open ..." (English "File-Open ..."), the shortcut key is "Command + O"
- Drop files on the Sketch icon in the Dock
- drag and drop files directly into an open document
- the other file copy, and then paste in the work area Sketch
2, Sketch export
single-file exporting
, we can export a single file by way of the selected layer, this method is applicable to the export icon, a single image, a single layer or a combination of a single drawing board, first select a single layer, click the bottom right corner of the Inspector "Make EXPORTABLE", then click "export selected ...", and finally select the path to export. Before exporting, we can also set the layer's export ratio (default is 1x), prefix and suffix and format.
Another method is to export through the slice tool, because sometimes we may only need to export the layer of an area, such as icon in the background, then, we need to be handled by "slice slice" toolbar. Click on the toolbar of the slice tool (shortcut key "S"), then circled content to be exported to subsequent export process and export the selected layer is the same.
Then, export, we may also encounter this situation: we need to export part of the graphics of a packet with the slice tool, icon part such as a circle consisting of two hollow, then they are just on a blue background. If we directly use the slice tool guide, a blue background appears.
But we obviously do not need a blue background, we need to clear the bottom of the icon, this time, we need to put on the slice tool icon is located inside the group, and then check the inspector "to export only the packet contents Export group contents only "option.
Batch export
if we need to bulk export layers, or drawing board, through the "File - Export" (the English version of "File-Export ..."), or shortcut keys "shift + command + E" content can be exported quantities selected.
The second way is to select multiple layers and then export by checking the lower right corner of the "Make EXPORTABLE".
The third way is to select multiple layers in the Layers column, and drag it to the folder, you can generate image files in the folder.
