Description

New feature in version 1.0.4.


Simple selecting text layers of layout

Easily select and edit text layers in your layout with the new 1.0.4 version of Ustav!

With a couple of clicks, you can select all the text layers of a specific type (only headers, only paragraphs or all text layers of layout) that you have created with the extension.

After that, you can quickly change the font or apply an effect to selected text layers!

Overview


The Ustav consists of two main elements

    1. This is a panel for creating blocks and managing them
    2. Pseudo-effect layout settings for layout manipulation

Through the panel, the text blocks are created, which are attached to the layout layer in the composition.

The layout layer contains settings that apply to all blocks associated with this layout.
