Is there any plugin used to insert multiple symbols (external library symbols) to one artboard, rather than do it manually one by one? Thank you!
1 Answer
You can create a master Sketch file of all the symbols you want to use across multiple files.
- Create a new sketch file and save all symbols there
- Once you've created all your symbols in one Sketch file, go to
File > Add As Library
. - After you've saved that library, you can open up other sketch files
and link that library file by going to
Preferences > Libraries
.
All your symbols will now be available (go to Insert > Symbols
and you should see your new library and symbols there).
Hope this helps!

Hi! thank you so much for your answer. I already did that but I need to use 500 symbols from one library. I'm searching for some way to insert multiple symbols, rather than one by one... Commented Oct 4, 2018 at 16:19

1Oh sorry I misunderstood. There is this plugin: github.com/sonburn/symbol-instance-sheet which allows you to import ALL the symbols from a library into a new sheet. I'm not sure you can pick and choose which ones to place.– colmol29Commented Oct 4, 2018 at 20:07
