Paddy not working with symbols about paddy-sketch-plugin

[msansregret]

I'm having some serious issues with symbols as well. I set things up and keep having the background moving in relation to the objects it should be surrounding. Instead of just padding them it keeps moving to keep them centereded in the background. This causes the symbol's artboard not not be aligned with the background.

I'm in version 51.1

Hello, same for me; can't make it work when a symbol; found a workaround ?

Symbols are tricky. You have to have the layers set up just right in the Inspector when it comes to the resizing, and you can't nest any symbols within your symbol (stated in the docs). @msansregret it looks like you may be nesting symbols, which doesn't work.

@noradriana I just updated to Sketch 52, so Paddy isn't working anymore, but I've found that if you have these settings in your group, then turn the group into a symbol, it works once you set your override, then force a refresh by clicking on your symbol, then deselecting by clicking on the Infinite Canvas:

• Text layer: auto resize, pin to left, pin to top
• Background layer (has Paddy settings): Pin to all 4 edges

Have you tried any of these things?
