Third suggestion for this feature, since it keeps getting closed.
At the moment you can show and hide a layer based on a true and false property value respectively, but you cannot do the inverse (show a layer if a boolean property value is false).
A common class of use cases for this is when you want to have something in your design be replaced if it is hidden (i.e. layer A is hidden by means of the boolean property, while layer B is shown instead).
Previous suggestions:
not that this is an awesome idea, but you can always hack this by using auto layout embedded in a frame with “clip content”. hiding the visible item would cause the hidden item to collapse into the frame and become “visible.”
This covers only one of many use cases.
Until this is implemented, as a workaround, you can achieve the desired result with the boolean exclude operation.
I wrote about it here:
Check out the live demo:
Not a bad idea, but this makes it quite difficult for developers to grep what is going on with the designs, especially if the item to exclude is a complicated layer.
