Build 844066305v5.2.02021-09-20 22:01:43
• Updated Color Editor and Color Library
- New quick access to complementary color and 9-swatch color history at the top of the Color Editor
- On the right side of the Color Editor, a new icon lets you toggle from the Color Wheel panel to the new Color Set panel
• Color Sets are a new method of creating and storing palettes of swatches
- If you're upgrading from a previous version of Sketchbook, your custom color palette will populate as a new Color Set
- You can drag and drop colors from the swatches in the top section of the Color Editor to populate palettes
- In the Color Library you can create a new blank set or load one of our presets as a starting point, including a Basic starter set, a Variety collection, and a set of Greys
• Other color updates
- Custom Gradient for generating 9-swatch blends of 2 selected colors
- HEX color values field to allow copying and pasting color across apps
- On iPad, pin the Color Editor from the Color Puck to remain open while you draw
- Removal of Copic library and markers – these had to be removed as they were licensed to Autodesk and that license did not transfer to us
• Removal of iCloud from the Gallery. The connection to iCloud breaks when an app transfers between developers. If you have been saving to iCloud, all your files are still there! There is a dialog explaining what to do to access your files that appears on first launch, and also the first time you go to the Gallery.
• New “Save” and “Files” options in the main menu. Because of the iCloud break, it was necessary to create a way for people to bring those files back into Sketchbook. We took this opportunity to expand where and how you can save and export your files.
- You can now import and export Sketchbook files to your device, iCloud, and other third-party cloud services
• Other data-related changes
- The Import from iTunes option has been retired
- A close button has been added to the Gallery. When the Gallery is dismissed, the canvas reverts to the last open sketch.
• Developer update from Autodesk to Sketchbook, Inc. Updated icon, about box, links to support, and dropping the internal cap in the app name
• Sketchbook no longer collects any personal data, so there is no request to opt-in for personal data usage
