SketchNow 6 launches with vector autoroute and real-time component suggestions

Design · 3 min read

SketchNow 6 ships today with a suite of features that automate repetitive UI layout and handoff tasks. The standout additions are vector autoroute—an algorithm that restructures and cleans vector paths for production—and a real-time component suggestion engine that proposes reusable elements as you design.

The product also expands collaboration tools with a presentation mode that preserves interactive prototypes and hides design annotations for stakeholder walkthroughs. In SketchNow 6, components can include parameterized variants (responsive size, color tokens) that update across linked files when changed, reducing inconsistencies in large design systems.

SketchNow claims the update grew out of months of designer interviews and machine learning models trained on anonymized UI libraries. The company offers a migration tool to convert legacy assets into parametric components, positioning SketchNow 6 as a productivity-focused release for design teams at mid-sized companies and agencies.
