    This update brings a bunch of small improvements and bug fixes, including the ability to use the width, height and position operators (w,h,x,y) as stand-ins for the width, height, x, and y of one or more selected elements.

    Improvements (4)

    • When typing a new position or dimensions in the Inspector, you can now use the operators w, h, x, and y as stand-ins for the width, height, X, and Y of the selected element(s). Try setting a rectangle’s height to w to quickly make it a square. These operators work with maths too; try setting the width to 2 * w to double the layer’s current width.
    • You can now click to select an element inside a selected Artboard without having to deselect the Artboard first.
    • Alpha masks will now match the scale and zoom values you use in the Canvas — and when exporting.
    • We’ve improved the way we display progress updates when opening a Workspace document.

    Fixes (15)

    • Fixes a bug where configuring an Artboard to have a fully transparent background color would cause the contents of the Artboard to be hidden.
    • Fixes a bug where the arrangement of characters in flipped Text Layers would be inverted when converted to outlines.
    • Fixes a bug where text could appear duplicated on the Canvas when editing text overrides with text transforms or emojis.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when scaling down images.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause certain documents not to open in the Mac app if they were saved in a much older version of the Mac app.
    • Angular gradients will now match the resolution you’ve set in your document when exporting.
    • Fixes a bug where, when using dark mode in macOS Monterey, dark Text Styles could be displayed as light text against a light background in the Components Popover.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause the cursor not to update when adjusting the width of the sidebar.
    • Fixes a bug that could cause shadows within instances placed on the same page as their Symbol Source to appear clipped while editing the Source.
    • Fixes a bug where you couldn’t preview a prototype in macOS Monterey if the Live Text feature was enabled in the System Preferences.
    • Fixes a bug where fonts in Library Symbols could render differently between local and Workspace versions of the document.
    • Fixes a bug where your selection in the Layer List could display some elements incorrectly if there was no scrollbar.
    • Fixes a crash that could occur when dragging export previews from the Inspector.
    • Fixes a bug that could mark existing Symbol instances as “missing” in some cases.
    • Fixes a bug where uploading a document to your Workspace would ignore any custom name you’d set.
