The possibility to export colour tokens is amazing, so I wonder if there are any plans to expand into other realms. Alias tokens? Typography? Border radius, grid, spacing?
Thanks for the amazing product

There are as a matter of fact! I’ve just seen a Proof of Concept of that feature internally today.
When will it be shipped/released to the users?
Hi @pauljh, we shipped design token exports for layer style and text styles around a year ago now.
No plans right now to expand this further, but we’re always open to suggestions.
I know, I would love to have border radius, spacings, line thickness also as variables/tokens set. So I can change them in one place and don’t have to fix them in multiple places. And provide a better design system for my other designers in the team.
I currently try to use just one small square with rounded corners as a symbol and then using this symbol inside all the other places, but with different states and multiple levels this will get complicated and confusing.
Something that might help — in our next update (currently in beta*) you can optionally include corners as part of layer styles, which I hope might help you here. Depending on the specifics of what you need with line thickness, this may also be covered as part of layer styles.
Spacings isn’t on our roadmap right now, but consider it noted.
* Documents you open the beta won’t be backwards compatible with previous updates, so I would recommend you avoid using this for production work right now. But if you want to test it with a duplicate of a document or similar, go ahead!
