Sketches Mac does not have exactly the same features set as Sketches App on iOS.
Some features will be a bit late to the Mac…Yet some won’t make the cut.
For now, we haven’t ported all the rulers to the Mac, as it is not a widely used feature on the iPad.

Rules are not available on Sketches Android.

You can find tutorials here.

Apple Pencil

This is a security measure that we have put in place to prevent the loss of drawings.

This is a constraint related to your device.

To avoid this problem, you can zoom into your drawing (pinch to zoom) and move it (hold two fingers and move) until the border appears.

You can also lock the zoom to 70% by pinching your drawing to display it in its full size and access the borders.

In Sketches preferences, disable the option "Auto Straight Lines".
This function allows you to draw a straight line while holding the end of a stroke.
