No Layer Grouping in Windows 10?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi everyone, anyone, whomever.

 

So I've been enjoying the full version of SketchBook for several months now. It has been an easy program to learn with its clean interface. I just recently found out you can do transparent backgrounds and I'm still learning more each day. However, I started to notice the layers in my projects were getting out of hand, causing placement inaccuracy when moving layers. I thought to myself, "I'll just group up my layers, that'll fix it."

 

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the button for it, and with a little research, I came across this:

Grouping layers in SketchBook for Windows 10

Autodesk SketchBook for Windows 10 doesn’t have layer grouping. 

 

. . . Why? Why doesn't the Windows 10 version of SketchBook have layer grouping? How does the Macintosh version of SketchBook have this but not it's Window's counterpart? My Microsoft Surface Pro 4 came default with a version of SketchBook. That's how I learned about this program. But for some reason, the Windows version is behind par. It's not like the Windows 10 version just came out. Explain to me what the heck kept this feature from making it to the Windows 10 version.

 

More important to me than the "Why" is the "When." When can I expect an update including layer grouping in SketchBook for Windows 10? Or is it something completely incompatible across Microsoft devices? Sorry about ranting, I know I'm not paying Adobe prices, just kinda frustrated I have to move dozens of precisely placed layers one at a time.

Accepted solution

You have a subscription but it was bought through the Windows Store.  You can still need to install and run the desktop version of SketchBook.

Thanks for the clarity. I think you may have provided the wrong link for the Desktop download. The URL says "Sketchbooik" instead of Sketchbook. . . Anyways, thanks again, I will find the correct version to download and hopefully keep all my save files. 🙂
