Design Stencils for Sketch (Mac)

Intro

You can use this stencil set to create high-fidelity SAP Fiori designs using Sketch.

For more information about SAP Fiori design stencils in general and other tool options, see Design Stencils.

Top Tips

Customize your Sketch toolbar

Customize your toolbar within Sketch based on your personal preferences. To do this, right-click on the toolbar in Sketch and choose Customize Toolbar…. You can now pull any menu you want to the highlighted empty boxes.

Recommended menus for working effectively:

  • Artboard
  • Symbols
  • Text Styles

Stay up to date

Always download updated files to a specific folder. As soon as a new version is released, put it into your stencil folder by overwriting the old file. This ensures that your working files files are updated to the latest version (find the hint in the top right of Sketch).

Don’t change symbols

Don’t overwrite symbols within the original document. This changes the symbol in all the places where a symbol is consumed. Instead, change the symbol using the Overrides panel on the right. In the Overrides panel you can change all elements within the object you selected.

Let symbols be symbols

Don’t detach elements from symbols. This ensures that your file stays up-to-date with the latest symbols from the SAP Fiori stencil set for Sketch.
