UtilityBelt Sketch Plugin

An always-expanding collection of small, simple, focused plugins for Sketch 45+.

Font →

• List all Fonts: displays an alert with the PostScript names of all the fonts used by the document. (Warning: if you’re using a lot of fonts the alert could get huge.)

Guide →

• [Temporarily Disabled] New Horizontal Guide at…: prompts you for a location to create a horizontal guide. (An object or an artboard must be selected so the plugin knows where to place the guide.)
• [Temporarily Disabled] New Vertical Guide at…: prompts you for a location to create a vertical guide. (An object or an artboard must be selected so the plugin knows where to place the guide.)
• [Temporarily Disabled] Selected Layer to Guides (Horizontal): draws horizontal guides along the top and bottom edges of the selected object(s).
• [Temporarily Disabled] Selected Layer to Guides (Vertical): draws vertical guides along the left and right edges of the selected object(s).
• [Temporarily Disabled] Selected Layer to Guides (Both): draws both horizontal and vertical guides along all four sides of the selected object(s).
• [Temporarily Disabled] Selected Layer to Center Guide (Horizontal): draws a horizontal guide at the vertical center point of the selected object(s).
• [Temporarily Disabled] Selected Layer to Center Guide (Vertical): draws a vertical guide at the horizontal center point of the selected object(s).
• [Temporarily Disabled] Selected Layer to Center Guide (Both): draws a horizontal and vertical guide at center point of the selected object(s).
• [Temporarily Disabled] Remove Guides from Selected Artboard: removes all guides from the selected artboard

Image →

• Image (Clipboard) to Layer Pattern Fill: if an image is in the clipboard, it will be pasted as a pattern fill on to the currently selected layer(s)
• Image (URL) to Layer Pattern Fill: prompts you for an image URL, which is downloaded and set as a pattern fill on to the currently selected layer(s)
  • [Be careful. There’s no error-checking in this yet, so be sure you’re pasting a URL to a bitmap image, otherwise Sketch will crash.]

Info →

• [Temporarily Disabled] Get Info on Selected Layers: pops an alert box containing the cumulative x, y, width, and height of the selected layers.

Move →

• Move Selected Layers to [x,y]: prompts you for new x,y coordinates and moves the selected objects to those new coordinates, preserving each object’s relative position.

Select →

• Select Layers by Name: takes a user-inputted string and selects all artboards, layer groups, and/or layers that contain that string
• Select Layers by Font Name: enter a font’s PostScript family name and this will select all text layers in the current page matching the inputted font (use Font → List all Fonts to get a list of all document fonts.)
• [Temporarily Disabled] Select Similar Color Border: finds layers with a border color matching the currently selected layer
• [Temporarily Disabled] Select Similar Color Fill: finds layers with a fill color matching the currently selected layer
