Power Null is significantly faster, easier, more accurate, more feature-rich, more lightweight, and takes up little (or no) room in your workspace.

FAQ

Sometimes I get an error when snapping! Out-of-date Nvidia GPU drivers may cause issues, but updating your drivers solved it.

New Features:



Shape Layer Nulls

-- Use Shape Layers instead of Nulls by going to the Settings menu.

Path Properties

-- Path properties can now be linked to the Masks on the null.

Source Text Properties

-- Text properties can now be linked to the Marker Comments on the null.



Quality of Life:



Link Properties Confirmation

-- When linking properties, a pop-up will ask to confirm if you meant to link properties, or the layer itself. You can toggle this confirmation in the settings.

Multiple Property Links

-- Originally, multiple similar properties (eg.Colour) would all link to one single Colour control.

-- Now, multiple controls will be created, for more flexibility.

-- Text is the only property that will be combined, as it's referencing the Null's Marker comments.

-- To combine controls, rename the controls so they share the same name, then delete all but one.

Changelog in the PDF

-- An additional page in the PDF guide lists the changes.



Bug Fixes:



Snap to Bounding Box

-- Couldn't snap to the bounding box on the left-most layers. This has been fixed.
