If i select multiple layers (inside an Auto-layout) with width property set to “Fill”, and then add an Auto-layout, all the layers inside the new frame will have their sizes set to “Fixed”.

I have to manually set the layers back to “Fill” every single time i want to enclose layers in an Auto-layout. This is something i run into every few minutes while working.


This is because the new AL layer is automatically set to “Hug”, therefore the children must lose “Fill” property


Wouldn’t it be logical, if i apply Auto-layout to layers that are already set to horizontal “Fill”, that the newly created AL layer is also set to horizontal “Fill”, leaving the children to “Fill”?

agreed, this would save me years and several hundred clicks every time i change the stack alignment from horizontal to vertical…!

If I create a frame within a frame with auto-layout, please adopt those auto-layout properties automatically in the new frame. Currently, not only do I have to set the new frame, I also have to adjust its children to not use fixed sizing. Very tedious and time-wasting.


Same as here: Adding auto-layout should keep Fill-resizing in children

Yep, this annoys me on daily basis, every few minutes i have to re enable ‘fit to parent’ on many layers… This is super tedious

Hi @Ben_Dansby , thank you for your feedback.

I re-opened the previous topic Adding auto-layout should keep Fill-resizing in children and merged these two topics to gather all your feedback. Thank you!

This has been silently implemented!! HUGE improvement!

Thanks

BAD “improvement”. For example, you’re getting icon only button from the iOS UI kit (which is set to fixed by default) and make a few in auto-layout group and then guess what - all of them get messed…


This is very annoying. At least make the “Suggest Layout” option to work the old ways and not convert automatically to Fill.
