Hey, Andrei! I use Adobe Premiere for video editing and Camtasia for screen recording. The animated text in the intro is from a template that Camtasia has ;)
Interesting, i was always wondering if i can hack Principle to use it for something like this (animated elements) as I know it’s not it’s intended purpose. I’ll try it out on the first ocasion. Cheers!
Hey, Andrei! Yes, I'm sure you can use animations on Principle for video stuff! I have actually done this before, lol. I also sometimes use Keynote!!! Their “Magic Move” animation is great for quick transitions ;)
Dave here - the creator of Paddy!! Thanks heaps for this in-depth tutorial Pablo; you did an amazing job explaining it!! There's definitely a lot I want to do with Paddy; I have plans for making an easier User interface - I just wanted to ship Paddy and get an initial version out the door. You're a legend for showcasing it! :)
Thank you for your contribution to the community. I've tried Paddy this morning and I think it's really great for button symbols. Again, thank you so much for making the plugin :) EDIT: Just read your documentation and just realised that it can also set min/max width height. Damn this plugin is something.
There seems to be a small bug when it comes to symbols. Create text and rectangle. Add paddy and convert to symbol. Editing text it no longer stays centered.
OH THANK THE HEAVENS!!! I've spent the past 4 hours trying to do the buttons thing then I find this!!! My life will never be the same again! Bless you!!!
This will make Dynamic Button plugin obsolete. Clean format and variety of examples, Pablo. You can basically stack these alignment and padding rules. (e.g. a card with its own padding rules that lives inside a group of cards aligned in a grid that lives inside website with its own vertical alignment rules etc.) Great stuff!
Just played with this for the last hour after watching your video, have to say this is pretty awesome! Thanks for putting me on to another great tool Pablo!
Ahhh, you noticed! You got the photographer's eye ;) I just got a new wide angle lens with a 1.4 aperture and I'm SUPER happy with it.I feel it's perfect for videos where I talk directly to the camera.
Hey Pablo, loving paddy!!! .... but I want to change the text colour within a symbol. The only way i can figure to do this is turn the text layer into a symbol. :( but then when i edit the text override it doesn't expand my Paddy container. :( Any ideas? :)

Muchísimas gracias Pablo. Nos enseñas mucho contenido de valor 😊
Could you make this work if you make the text of the button into a symbol as well? I would like to be able to switch text colour... not having much success at the moment
the plugin doesn't work in my license sketch. when I select "padding for selection" option, none of the value popup appear. could you please help me to figure out??
First of all, thank you very much Pablo! I'm really appreciate your work. But I have a question. Is there any plugin or app that can help me create 2 presets/libraries of plugins to switch between depending on type of work? Cuz a lot of plugins just slowing down the whole process of work in sketch. I need two presets for work: 1) only for interfaces and 2) only for Illustrations. Work on Illustrations in Sketch is really awesome compare to Adobe Illustrator. I've tried to install different versions, but plugins menu synchronizing when I deactivate ones in the 1st or 2nd Sketch version. PLEASE HELP if you can.
HI Pablo! I have a question about Paddy. My buttons are all centre-aligned to the page. Paddy is good when its wordy, but if the CTA is "OK", it shrinks to a very small size. Is there any solution for this? btw I love your videos and your cute attitude!! so funny I love it!! also remind me of my friend from Brazil!! hugs from HK
Epic vid Pablo! Thanks! I'm trying to get this to work within buttons to keep the sweet setup you posted roughly a year ago, however I can't seem to figure it out. How have you solved this? Would love to be able to merge that setup with Paddy!
hi Pablo :) your videos are very helpful. I have a question about overrides. on yours, colour tab just contains colours. I see on symbols page, there is like 'enter' symbol that assigns to colour (so the shape are). how to assign that? thank you
Hi Pablo, first thanks for this video, It's so great ! But I can't figure out how you put the color inside the shape (8'11" - 8'19)... Could you send me the link of the video you're evoking that explain this particular part ? Thanks you so much (again) ! :)
Is it possible to create a CARD with text, title, image. that you convert as symbol . and then you duplicate the card vertically 4 times, and if you write a longer text on one of the cards nested description, can this card automatically expand without disrupting the spacing between cards and withotu disrupting the card itself ?
i don't know what's wrong, but I made the same size on 1 group but the background going bigger than the artboard while the content doesn't resize / moving. mind to help?
Hi Pablo & David, I'm trying to make a button with the text centered nested from a symbol aaaaand within a minimum width of 88px, and I note some things: 1. Text can't be on a symbol (I liked to work on that way...is not a big issue) 2A. Background Button [10 8] work perfect! but when I try to keep the button with 88 px minimum... 2B. Background Button [10 8;w>=88] is not working fine ---> I will create an issue on GitHub with my conclusions Amazing Job for all of you men! Bellver.
Easy way to remember the order of padding properties is to use the mnemonic rule: TRouBLe - Top Right Bottom Left. After some time you'll repeat it as a tongue-twister :) Hope it was helpful for you.
Man it would've been perfect if it can work well with sizing objects on 8pt grid because once you apply the padding, it automatically re-sizes objects to fit the padding. Still a great plugin.
AgentCell creator of Paddy here... that’s a great idea. I hadn’t thought of that. So you’d rather have the object size to a perfect width and height that’s an increment of 8? As opposed to have ‘padding’ that’s an increment of 8?
I dont want downloaded any plugins cos I bought Sketch and what have flexible tool for my design needs. What I must do if my colleague didnt have this plugin? Its wrong way! One program -- many tools inside. Thats all!
Great tutorial! helped in getting grip on the plugin, but I am facing issues while creating a styleguide, maybe its Sketch 51.2 and paddy needs an update
Love this plugin but REALLY wish it would work past 1 level of nesting. It doesn't resize automatically when nested 2 levels deep and more :/ @David Williames are there plans to get it to work?
polaroidsandpen hey, it should work with many levels deep in groups. However, I think there’s an issue at the moment with that ‘depth’ within symbols. Are you referring to within a Symbol or group?
Paddy is dead, David Williams declared so on his github wall as of the last 60 days. Alternatives that may not be as effective as Paddy but should help in similar areas include: Relabel Plugin and Anima Layout Plugin. Anima Layout comes from a legitimate company backed by Y Combinator and the Relabel plugin is just some random project on github.
Hey Pablo, just a thought here: When you align multiple objects together, there is no option to align them by selecting a pivot object; like you do in Illustrator: select multiple objects, then select one as a pivot and others get aligned to that one. I've failed to find that feature neither in Auto Layout or in Paddy. Is it just me?
Erman Kutlu nope, you’re right. That’s just how Sketch works in general. There always is a dominating layer, though. You just have to know which one it is. If you want to align layers to the left, then the layer in the group that is farthest to the left will be the dominating one and all the other layers will align to it. Same with the rest, the layer that is higher up will be the one that dominates when you align to the top. When you align to the center vertically or horizontally then the bigger layer on the Y or X position respectively will be the ones that dominate. That’s just how Sketch works, and the plugins follow those rules. There is a plugin to do what you want, though. But, to be honest, once you understand the rules, then you don’t really need the plugin, you just work around those rules.
There is a way to make a pivot object in sketch, and it is by lock the object/layer that you want to be dominant. So, first you lock the dominant object, second select all objects that you want to be aligned and after that, align the objects. (Notice that the locked object should be selected in the layer panel).
Pablo, I am using your nested button symbol method and trying to make Paddy plugin work with that symbol structure and for some reason it keeps resizing to the "state" layer versus the "cta" layer. Any thoughts on how to avoid this?
Hey, Sean. It's kind of hard to know what can be causing the problem without looking at your file. The background layer where your text is should have the padding in its name. If this background layer is a symbol, don't put the padding inside the nested symbol, put it in the instance of the symbol. Check out the sample file, maybe that helps you decifer what's up: www.dropbox.com/s/gv44wieqsff9ayo/Paddy%20Sample.sketch?dl=0
Dave (creator of Paddy) here. That's one of the key things I built Paddy around... it should play nice with other applications like Zeplin; since it doesn't do any special hidden data manipulation to the layers like AutoLayout does... it simply resizes layers to the 'optimal' size. :)
Just got home from work and saw this. If it actually delivers a better experience on zeplin then buckle up mate, you're about to get famous in the sketch community :) Looking foward to test this !
Hey guys, it's not working if you have nested symbols that include text symbol. For instance, here in the video, if you create a symbol for your text "label", it's not gonna work anymore. Trying to find a solution for it, I'll go back to you when I find one.
Hi, paddy looks to be amazing, except that for me works a bit weird. aftergrouped a shape and a test (button) and want to enter padding for selection, it creates a background shape, and I can edit only this background shape after. i am using paddy 1.07, in sketch v52.2, on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 already uninstalled, and installed back sketch, and plugins as well. do you have any idea of what is happening? thankiiies in advance!
@@CarlosSanchez-np3ek thanks so much for replying! I am new to sketch and I thought I set something wrong, because right after installing paddy, worked fine. Then suddenly started to crash:((. Have you found any solutions for this? Whether going back for a previous version could resolve? Or is thia possible?
Hey, Ollie. That's really weird. Maybe you need to update the plugin too? I made some quick updates to the file and should work fine: www.dropbox.com/s/gv44wieqsff9ayo/Paddy%20Sample.sketch?dl=0
Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to make some quick updates. Unfortunately, it still isn't working :( Here is a video of the bug. www.dropbox.com/s/9h27zi1d42cns8z/Paddy-bttn-bug.mov?dl=0
Pablo, I can't make the stuff works when I add a symbol. Why could this be happening? My process: Make color palette -> Make buttón -> Insert text label symbol -> Instert icon symbol -> Select all and run paddy -> Fail If I only do it to the text it works perfectly :(
Hey, Fede! Try changing the name of your color symbol to include Paddy's numbers. As long as the color layer symbol is in the bottom and has this at the end of the name it should work. For example: “Color [8 16]” Check out my sample file, maybe it helps to see how I did it: www.dropbox.com/s/gv44wieqsff9ayo/Paddy%20Sample.sketch?dl=0
I noticed in the gif you posted to twitter the button text stayed center-aligned and the button grew horizontally in both directions. I'm not able to replicate that, how did you do it? Thanks! Tweet: twitter.com/pablostanley/status/963176767715360769
I don't ant use any plugins! It's totally bulshit! I bot sketch and for me it to match expensive. If Sketch can rich my goals as a primary tool - why I should use it?
