Find Variables helps you find what variables are being used in your file and easily select the layers using them.
Features
- Displays all the variables being used in a given page.
- Shows all the layer types using a variable (frame, text, etc.)
- Select all layers by type or all the layers using a given variable.
Not sure what frames are using a new corner radius? Can't find a specific string variable somewhere in your prototype? This plugin makes it easy to find, and select, any layers using a variable.
