edge07 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 How do masks work in AD? In Sketch I can set a layer to be a mask for other layers, so that everything inside the limits of this layer is masked. Does this also work in AD? Wasn't able to figure out how masking works here.

Staff MEB Posted November 30, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 30, 2014 In the Layers panel, drag the object you want to use as a mask over the thumbnail of the layer you want to be masked (a small blue vertical line should appear to let you know you are doing it right), then release the drag. A small crop icon will appear over the object you used as mask in the Layers panel.

puggerspaniel Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 is there a quicker way of masking and unmasking? like command 7/ command shift 7? Also, I can easily get to my grouped images in the mask, but to modify the mask itself I still have to go into the layers panel. Is there a way, like double-clicking or using the white arrow key (I tried these options and it didn't work though)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 10, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2014 Currently no. Those refinements will come with time. The focus is still mainly on building the foundations of the program (check the roadmap for an overview of what's coming) and improve them as soon as possible.
