Sketch absolute match artifact Mirror preemptive experience

The designer's hardest thing to do than to be broken Wings Angel round, in view of this, electrostatic selection from the spirit of closer to work near the Lama Temple, in order to be blessed and sheltered. Incense also on the head also knock, but how the effect? Buddha said, to have a pious heart, so he gave me sketch, Buddha said, to have a fear of the heart, so mirror came, every day look in the mirror, see inside of their own, wow, super handsome! Instantaneous working power up has wood to have? Come to the sketch, see the perfect match, mirror can bring us what surprises!

This is already static electricity sketch classroom Fifth chapter, everybody does the app design the small partner, certainly will have this kind of demand, is the own design manuscript import to own handset to see the effect. Indeed, the display effect and mobile phone display effect is essentially different, resolution and precision, physical size is different, so only in the mobile phone, can actually feel to do the app feel. So, the static electricity suggests those beginner app design or from the Web page to app design students, must be the design manuscript on the phone to see, find the feeling, feel, later it will be more convenient to use the computer to do app design manuscript.

How to preview a design draft on a mobile device

1. If it is an Android phone, then use the data cable to connect the computer, the design copy to the phone, and then use the phone's picture viewing function can be seen.

2.iOS system, a little trouble, you need to use itunes to sync the design to the phone, and then use the photo features to view.

3. There is a slightly simpler, we can use off-the-shelf tools, computer and mobile phone at the same time login to a QQ account, the use of QQ file to mobile phone function, you can view the design manuscript.

4. Use Psplay software. You can search for this software directly in the mobile App Store. Both Android and iOS can be used.

This time, we will encounter a problem, through the above method, is not not can not be viewed, just so preview, we will not feel particularly trouble? Of course, when we use Photoshop to design, there is a preview of Tencent produced the PS play, but this time encountered one of the biggest problems, Is that sketch files do not support direct preview in PS, we need to export the design draft in sketch to a general picture format, such as Png,jpg, and then drag it to Photoshop to use the Psplay preview. This process is also slightly cumbersome. Static electricity does not buy this mirror time, also use this way to preview. But with more and more designs, I can't stand it. The mirror of the icon point again, today, finally can't help, intend to start this payment software.

How to Buy Mirror

We open sketch, do you see a mirror icon on the right side of the toolbar? The following figure:

But this feature is paid to use, or, he is a paid iOS application only. So, just pick up the iphone, open the App Store, search for sketch Mirror, and pay 30RMB to buy it. This time some students may ask, the Android side has mirror? Static electricity specially went to the official website to look, very sorry, the wood has, the official website Q&a, the author explicitly said that they did not have the interest to develop the Android version, then uses the Android mobile friend to use the PS play temporarily.

Use of mirror environmental requirements

The following two kinds of environment can use mirror, everyone depending on their own equipment situation, optional one can be.

1. Use WiFi environment

The mirror environment is simple, and we have to make sure that the computer running sketch is in the same network environment as the mobile device running mirror. For example, you use your own router to surf the internet, then the PC and mirror remain in a local area network. If used in the company, because the network environment slightly complicated, if it is impossible to ensure that in a network segment, static electricity recommends that you buy a small router, to establish a simple wireless network, so as to ensure the operation of the mirror environment.

2. Use the data cable, connect the mobile phone to the computer

If there is no WiFi environment, the use of USB cable to connect the phone to the computer is also possible, but static electricity in the test found that this connection is not very stable, sometimes can not preview. Therefore, it is recommended that the first way of connection. If there is a problem with the connection, you can contact static, micro-letter jingdesign91.

Mirror use steps

With the above set up, we can use mirror to directly preview the design in sketch.

1. The handset side, opens the mirror, at this time displays is a still picture, tells you to be able to see the document in the sketch to carry on the operation. This time the handset side is unable to carry on any operation.

2. Then we use sketch on the computer to open the already designed file. If everything works, then we will find that the sketch interface mirror icon changes. Mirror the words into connect. We click on the Connect,sketch to open the design draft can be displayed in the mobile phone mirror. At this time connect words become disconnect, click Disconnect, will disconnect.

3. After the connection, as shown in the picture, a artboard in the document will appear on the phone.

4. At this point, if we want to switch page or artboard, we need to use the mobile phone to operate, as shown below. This point to change a PS play of the WYSIWYG function is not the same. Click on the lower left corner of the interface below or the lower right corner to switch page or artboard, sliding left and now can switch artboard, very convenient. Electrostatic here to praise the mirror, file switching speed is very fast, compared to the speed of PS play, mirror speed is significantly better than PS play.

Comparison between Mirror and Psplay

At this point, mirror is finished. Compared to PS play, these two preview tools can be said to have their pros and cons. But after all, Mirror is sketch's own preview tool, compatibility and execution efficiency are higher than psplay. However, Ps play still has its own unique place.

1.mirror can effectively improve the efficiency of using sketch to design the app interface

2. Compared to Psplay, the preview efficiency is high.

3. Sliding left and right can switch artboard.

4. Disadvantage: Unable to set the preview password, confidentiality is poor. In addition, if more than one computer in the same network runs sketch, I don't know how to make a decision to select the target PC for the preview.

5. Cannot carry on the design draft on the handset side the preservation.

6. Unable to operate on Android devices.

In short, mirror as a closely integrated software with sketch, performance has exceeded the expectations of static electricity. The combination of mirror and sketch will greatly improve the efficiency of designers. In this more efficient era, you are still waiting for what, perhaps, we anxiously waiting for a few seconds, countless inspiration has flown in from the brain, so 30 yuan or the value of things, immediately go to the App store to download it.
