Overview:

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.
Sketch supports multiple fills, borders and shadows per layer; has powerful non-destructive boolean operations; smart pixel alignment; and makes exporting a breeze with automatic slicing and multiple resolution export.
Vector tools and basic shapes are the foundation; whether you are designing icons, websites, interfaces or anything else. Combine these into complex shapes with non-destructive boolean operations, leaving you free to edit them in the future, then apply advanced layer style options like multiple shadows, fills, gradients, noise, blending, background blurring, and more.
Sketch doesn’t just do shapes, of course. Imported images can be rotated, scaled, cropped and masked. The best-in-class text tool lets you add beautiful typography to your designs, using native font rendering, so you can be sure that text always looks 100% accurate!
Brand new to Sketch 3, Symbols allow you to reuse entire groups of content in multiple places in your design. Think of interface elements such as buttons, headers and footers. Change them once, and they update everywhere in your document.
Built for the Mac, Sketch supports OS X’s Versions and Auto Save, letting you focus on your work instead of hitting CMD+S. Keep your work safely in sync across multiple Mac computers with iCloud. And take Sketch full screen to maximise the size of your canvas.
All this power is deliciously baked into Sketch’s single-window interface. Everything is there, tucked away until you need it. A simple interface with powerful tools.
Now everything is possible.

What’s New in Version 41:

Enhancements:
・If a Page has a grid set, but contains Artboards, we will no longer render the grid for the Page to avoid confusion
・Resetting Symbol instances to their original size is now also enabled for multiple selection
・Hidden layers are no longer taken into account when using the Center Canvas option in the View menu
・Adds a new “Paste with Style” menu item for when you want to paste Rich Text into Sketch
・Improves the accuracy of boolean operations
・Improves shapes converted to outlines by removing overlapping paths and superfluous points
・The alignment actions in the menu, inspector and contextual menu are now consistently labelled
・Improves boolean operations by removing obsolete points
・Symbol Masters can now be converted back to regular Artboards by using the Detach menu item
・The align buttons in the Inspector now show their correct image when aligning vector points in the shape editor
・Shift-dragging to restrict a point to a single axis in the vector editor now also snaps the nearby points correctly
・You can now replace multiple layers with any Symbol using the shortcut menu
・When using Mask on an image layer, the masked image can now be given rounded corners easily
・You can now detach Symbol instances via the menu
・Fixes a bug where, when resizing layers, the tooltip wouldn’t include fractional digits
・Sketch now automatically hides any grid when you zoom out to more than 25%
・Any layer can now be converted into a Symbol easily using the shortcut menu
・Symbol Artboards are no longer included in PDF export, Mirror or uploaded to Sketch Cloud
・Improves CSS export by not including ‘px’ suffixes when the actual value is zero
・When adding a new page to a document we now insert it below the selected page instead of at the bottom
・Adds new menu commands for adding a New Page and navigating to the next and previous pages
・Fixes a bug where the names of Shared Styles in the Inspector could span multiple lines
