Import SVG ad Artboard Sketch Plugin

Sketch imports SVG as a Group, but it doesn’t support groups that do not fit its content. So if you would have an SVG of 100px*100px with a single centered circle inside of 20px radius, Sketch will create a Group of 40px*40px with a Circle inside.

This plugin allows you to import SVG as Artboards instead, so that the offset is preserved.

Installation

• Download the latest release of the plugin
• Un-zip
• Double-click on import-svg-as-artboard.sketchplugin

Debugging

To view the output of your console.log, you have a few different options:

• Use the sketch-dev-tools
