Show distance between objects
We just added one of the most requested usability features: you can now measure the distance between layers on the canvas. To show distance between layers, you can:
- Select an object
- Hold ⌥ (or alt on Windows)
- Hover the other objects for which you want to know the distance to Jitter will display a red line between the objects, as well as a measurement.
Measuring the distances between layers works with any kind of element:
- Artboard / scene
- Texts
- Vector shapes (rectangles, ellipses, stars)
- Media shapes (images, videos, GIFs, SVGs)
We measure the distances between the bounding boxes of each object. There are some cases where the behavior may differ from what you expect:
- Shapes with a center or outer stroke: Jitter will measure the distance to the object's bounds, and not the outer limit of the stroke
- Stars: if you have stars with an odd number of spikes, the layer bounding box is slightly bigger than the shape's dimensions
Other improvements
- Improved the display of scaled up images in the "Lottie - Others" profile
- Ellipses with a “Resize” animation are now supported in the Lottie export
- Fixed a display bug with flipped images
- Fixed a bug with Undo / Redo in the inspector
