#1. Create the body frame Create a frame and place a default text layer inside. Then add auto layout with the resizing behavior set to “hug”.




#2. Create the pointers frame Create a frame and place three triangles inside. Then constrain each one to its position (left, center, right).



#3. Bring it all together Nest the body frame and the pointers frame into a new auto layout frame (Shift + A). Then set the resizing behavior for the pointers frame to “fill container”.
