- Figma is the collaborative interface design tool. Keep the team focused and on the same.
- Sketch with tools that behave like the real thing — pencils, pens, markers, erasers, and custom brushes. Use blend modes to draw on top of existing brush strokes and create natural color changes. Try out the watercolor brush on your iPad Air, mini, or Pro.
So… Here’s the question: how to open .sketch file on Windows? Infoclick 1 2 5 x 2.
Sketch App
Sketch is a Mac App. But you don’t have a Mac. You only have Windows, and this damned Sketch file someone sent you. And that someone had a Mac. But you don’t have a Mac.
What are you going to do? Buy a Mac? Too expensive. Ask that someone to use Photoshop? No way, that someone is obsessed with Sketch. You’re in a hopeless jam. Or so you thought…
Sketch for Windows
You need Sketch for Windows. There is no Sketch for Windows.
Luckily, we are here to save the day and offer a few Sketch alternatives for Windows:
Luckily, we are here to save the day and offer a few Sketch alternatives for Windows:
Sketch for PC
There will be only one. Below is the native app for Windows called Icons8 Lunacy.
Icons8 Lunacy
Lunacy is a standalone viewer for Sketch files on Windows. It was developed from scratch by hacking the sketch file format.
Price: Free
Price: Free
Hint: lets open Sketch files on Windows.
Sketch Online
There are quite a few of these.
Avocode
Avocode is all about HTML coders. Someone will have to upload sketch file to the cloud using their plugin for Sketch. The initial setup took us 40 minutes and caused Sketch to consume 90% of CPU.
Price: From $9/month.
Zeplin
Zeplin is a direct competitor to Avocode. It has downloadable apps for Mac and Windows, but don’t get fooled. They are not the native apps. They just wrap their website.
Price: Free for one project, $19 for 3 projects/month.
Figma
This is a new tool. Unlike Avocode and Zeplin it’s a fully functional online vector editor and a collaboration tool. So far it’s free.
Update: now they have pricing.
Update: now they have pricing.
Price: Free for two projects, for larger projects starting price is $12 per member.
Hint: someone will have to upload a sketch file to the cloud. So, make enough Mac-user friends so that you have at least one in every time zone. Don’t live in Manila: you need fast internet.
Social Engineering
Violence
Hint: target hipsters. They are feeble and weak.
Sex
Hint: lower your standards. Target ugly rich people.
Patience
Hint: if you sit long enough at Starbucks, someone will definitely ask you to watch over his Mac. Target old people, they pee longer.
A lot of Patience
Hint: ask Bohemian to support Sketch for Windows.
Online dating
Hint: ignore faces in the photos. Look for Macs.
Hackintosh
Hint: live in a country that ignores copyright law. North Korea works fine.
Unemployment
Hint: before stealing from your employer, make sure you live in a welfare state. Norway works.
Money
Hint: if you are short of cash for the latest Mac Pro, sell some of your diamonds, bricks of gold or Picasso masterpieces.
Jokes aside, we’ve hacked the Sketch format and developed a viewer. It opens any Sketch file on Windows. It is Sketch app for Windows. It’s free.

Using keyboard shortcuts is one of the best ways to model faster in SketchUp. When you use the R key to activate the Rectangle tool, you don’t have to move your mouse cursor away from what you are drawing to a toolbar or menu. And you also don’t have to stop thinking about what you are modeling to start thinking about where the Rectangle tool is.
This article describes learning SketchUp’s keyboard shortcuts and learning to use them to model faster.

Default keyboard shortcuts in SketchUp for Web
SketchUp for Web’s default keyboard shortcuts are nearly identical to those of desktop SketchUp. If you find yourself using a tool frequently, you can simply look up its shortcut by searching in SketchUp for Web. While not every tool has a default shortcut, the shortcuts that are available are displayed with each search result.
When starting out with shortcuts, we recommend that you start by learning the ones for tools that you use the most. Here are some default shortcuts you might use frequently:

|
While you are using SketchUp, you can look up shortcut keys using the Search tool. For each tool or command, Search provides a brief description as well as a reminder about the assigned keyboard shortcut. If there is no shortcut for a tool you use a lot, you can set one.
There are also mouse shortcuts in SketchUp. The most important one is activating the Orbit tool by holding down the mouse scroll wheel. Learn more in Viewing a Model.
For the best experience with shortcuts in SketchUp for Web, we recommend using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Customize Shortcuts
Whether you want to add a shortcut to a tool that doesn’t yet have one, or reassign a default shortcut, you can assign or modify shortcuts for any tool or command that is available in Search.
To assign a tool’s shortcut, first look up the tool in Search. Then, hover over the search result and click on either the current shortcut key or the empty box that appears (when there is no shortcut for a command).
An input will appear with the prompt Set shortcut. Simply press the shortcut key (or modifier + key combinations) and your shortcut will be immediately assigned.
Download Sketch For Mac
For the most part, you can customize the keyboard shortcuts how you like, but here are a few guidelines to help you understand what keys are (and are not) available as shortcuts.
Is Sketch For Mac Only
- In addition to using letters and some punctuation keys, you can also use Shift and Alt/Option. Neither the CTRL key (Windows) or the Command key (Mac) is available as a modifier key.
- You can’t assign a number key as a shortcut without using a modifier (such as Shift, or Alt/Option).
- You can reassign default keyboard shortcuts. For example, by default, the O key is the shortcut for the Orbit tool, but you can reassign the O key to the Open, or Offset command if you like.
