Auto Layout For Spacing
Hey, everyone in this video, we're going to look at auto layout and take it a bit further than the last video. The last video we just use it for a stretchy button. But in this one, we're going to look at grouping lots of items together and stretching kind of that big group. What is this? If I need another another uh option in my navigation? See it reshuffled made the box bigger. I can delete it. OK? Gets it smaller. So it's kind of like combining those smart selection features we looked at earlier along with some fancy new auto features. So let's jump in and use auto allow for spacing. Hi, everyone. Hey, you'll notice the interface in this video is a little different because this is an update video. Um The auto layouts changed quite a bit. Now you noticed in the last video we used audio layout and you did hugging OK for the button. And I noticed that everyone found hugging where it did move to good work. But in this video, audio layout has just changed so much that I'm gonna rerecord i...
t. That's why things look different and why I sound different more older, more mature anyway get on with the video. Den. All right so the first thing is you're gonna watch me type some stuff, we'll do it in fast mode. Go. Alright I type some stuff um and I'm gonna left align it. Um the only thing for what we're gonna do is you need to make sure that the type is in separate text boxes. Ok? Don't just do one text box that has it all in there and put returns in. It's not gonna work for the auto out tricks we wanna do. Ok? So just have separate text boxes. I just duplicated them by holding alt and drag and then hit command D to get another one and then just change the text. Here we go. OK? So let's talk about auto layout. OK? So I've got these bits and pieces now and we've used smart selection before if I like line these up. Ok? I can do things like drag them around and they adjust. So smart selects cool. I can do the padding. Auto layout can be used in a very similar way with a few extra perks. OK? So I'm gonna convert it into an auto layout. Ok? A little plus there and you'll notice that over here. Ok? I've got now a parent frame, ok? An auto allow frame. That's this like little icon here with the little lines. OK? And inside it are these guys and basically I can do what I did with smart select, I can go features move around, I can hit command D to get another one of them and it adjusts super easy, but I have a lot more control over here. So you notice over here, I just have text features. OK? What I want to do is click the parent. OK? So click the frame 12, poorly named. OK? I'm gonna call this one NAV. OK? And over here auto layer has all these extra features. That's why we had to update this video is that this changed quite a bit. OK. So we can say I want them all stacked vertically or horizontally, you can wrap them, but that's kind of more an advanced feature. We'll do that later on in the advanced course. OK? But we can do the nice things like the gap between. OK? So we still have this full control. OK? You can type it in eight. OK? Or you can drag this icon and see this icon here. Click hold drag. OK? You can still do it on the screen like we do with smart, select one of the other perks of using auto layout like this is that we can do padding. So let's give the background of this auto lout. So I've got the parents selected, see NAV. OK. I'm gonna say I will give it a fill default still white, which is not helpful. I'm gonna pick one of the colors and now click off in the background. Click on this. I got um I've got some padding. OK? So I'm gonna do horizontal and vertical padding. So you can see there's a lot of similarities between smart select but auto has some perks and it's persistent. It means we can, you know, they stay around, they can add padding. And the other nice thing about the persistent this of orders, let's say I make a new item, OK? Or a new menu or something, but we want the same uh features OK? We want the padding and the background color and the spacing. What I can do is say you are an auto lo OK? Then I can select this one right, click it and say copy paste as copy the properties, select these right click again, copy paste as paste. OK? And it grabs all of those features there and you can get things consistent. Cool. Huh. Now you can do more and more with auto layouts. We go really deep in the advanced course with auto layouts but for the moment, a lot of the use cases are buttons and these kind of like little NAV features here consistent. Um We get to control the spacing at the padding, add the margins, add the spacing and we can add and remove items really easily and it all contracts and expands. It's awesome. Now, some of the things in the previous video that I made the original one that people had problems with that you might have a problem with is sometimes people do this, they'll go copy and paste and it's ended up outside of here and they're like, why won't it go in? OK. They're trying to do it and it's kind of outside of it. OK. There's a couple of things, the easiest way to duplicate something in here is you can select it. OK? Not the text if I double click too many times. OK? I copy and paste and I just get more text obviously. OK? If I had to escape, once it kind of comes out of that text editing mode. Now, if I copy and paste it, OK, it'll do the whole unit or what I do the most is I go once to click the whole thing, double click to get the bit that I want inside of here and just hit command D control D on a PC and just duplicates it. OK, then go and change it. If it does for some reason, get out, you can actually just drag it back in. Can you see the lines there? OK. Here it goes. If it's still not working, have a look at your layers panel over here. OK. So I've got this frame which is my outside frame for my kind of like phone. OK? Inside of here, I've got this badly named frame 12 and my nav sometimes home can end up like out here and oh, I ended up in there that was weird. OK. Can you see it's way out here in my layers panel if I want it to be inside of this? OK. Inside a nav, what I can do is say you my friend are between car and cut and there he is. Oh, he's in the right spot. There you go. Order louts are awesome. All right. That is it on to the next video?
