Link assets from local documents
The cloud support for shared Xd libraries/components/fonts/colours etc is exactly what I've been wanting - except I can't use it because I don't use the cloud to save my files (I have to use our internal server).
The same features but importing from files outside of the cloud is really needed!

Repeat Grid size: snap to whole items (grid cells)
Video attached, expecting the grid to snap to elements.

Thanks for your feedback! This feature is already in our backlog – not sure when it will arrive, but we’re aware of the need for it.

Embed used fonts in XD file
It would be really useful for me as an developer to have the fonts embedded in the XD file (like Photoshop does).
I use the XD file made by our designer to extract al sizes / font-sizes / line-heights and spacings to determine what the generic styles for specific components are going to be.
But when I don't have the current font installed on my PC yet, I can't see which parts of the design are bold / italic and how the font-sizes hold up to certain design blocks ( because measurements aren't the same between all fonts ). XD…

Create Accessibility Specifications/Annotations (e.g. for ARIA)
When an accessible application is being developed, the designer needs to deliver accessibility information to the developers. For example, a designer wants to create the tab orders, keyboard specs, and ARIA Region information.
Deigners currently use makeshift tools to create these specs and would benefit from functionality embedded in this wonderful tool.
This may simply be an addition to the wildy popular "Generate specs / measurements / style guide for developers."

Pen Tool: Same logic as Illustrator or Photoshop
I think the pen tool in Adobe XD is horrible. I couldn't draw the vector shapes the way I want because the pen tool is missing the same logic as Illustrator and Photoshop.
I first drew a curve vector in Adobe XD, and for my next point, I want to make a straight line. But there's absolutely no way for me to do that.
Whereas in Photoshop or Illustrator, I can hold option key to bring that '<' icon and click on the second point to and remove the next point's curve line.
Here's a video attachment to show you…

Keyboard shortcut: Resize shapes using Cmd+arrows
Allow to resize shapes using cmd+arrows. It's one of the best Sketch features, it's really useful for pixel perfecting.
Cmd-up arrow to increase height, Cmd-down to decrease height.
Cmd-right increases width, Cmd-left decreases width.89 votes -
Alpha Mask Support
Having the ability to use a mask with opacity is pretty basic. This feature has been in Illustrator since the beginning... Photoshop (of course with alpha masks) - it's in Sketch (mask mode > alpha)... pretty much all the apps... but not in XD? Why? Very strange.

Allow duplicate character styles and colors (CSS)
Currently you can only have one character style for a given set of parameters, however it might be nice to have duplicate character styles. For example h3 in tablet might match up with h4 on desktop, but it's confusing for them to share a single style.

Keyboard shortcuts for changing component states.
With a component selected, a keyboard shortcut to cycle through its possible states would save a lot of mousing between artboards and the LHS panel. This is particularly true for screens with multiple components. If they could all be selected and reset to default and cycled through their states, this would be a helpful addition

Allow users to adjust the frequency of auto-save or to turn auto-save on / off
(posted in the right forum this time)
As a user, I want to be able to adjust the auto save frequency on cloud documents so that I have more control over my system and my file, and my workflow is not interrupted.
Right now, the auto save seems to save my work every X edits, which would be great if XD didn't slow down or freeze during this, unfocus typing, and generally interrupt my entire workflow.
For example this just happened to me again: I manually saved a document. Then I clicked into an element (not component) and adjusted the…

Wireframe mode
It would be really helpful if they incorporate a third wireframe option along side design and prototype. May be they can change the Design label to Mockup. This will be a great help for both UX and UI Designers .
Then later wireframes could have stencils that designers can use to quickly wireframe the app or page. The whole process can be a collaborative i.e. the wireframes --> Mockups --> Prototype and export the prototype or video.

It's hard to tell which Character Style in the Assets window I need to modify to affect a certain set of text boxes.Solution:
To be able to click one of my text-boxes and the relevant Character Style gets highlighted in the Assets window.84 votes -
9 slice scaling of bitmaps
Why does there seem to be no interest or demand for this feature anymore? For me it's a "must have" for efficient prototyping. I realize "flat" is all the rage, but I still do a lot of photo-realistic, skeuomorphic design using Photoshop's bitmap-only tools. Without 9-slice scaling, there's no way to properly scale a png graphic within XD. I have to create all the different sizes I need in Photoshop and import them all separately. Doesn't anyone else have this problem, or am I missing something?
I realize there's already a post about this, but I'm hoping for some feedback…
84 votesI can’t comment on the state of design, but what I can do for you is to merge the other story into this one, which will notify all of the other people who upvoted for it. That being said, it’s likely that people are beginning to go all-vector, which negates the need for bitmap 9-scaling if you have fixed point corners.

Display artboards inside artboards when exporting parent artboard
Usecase:
Often you will spend days organizing a collection of artboards that you want to export at 1 graphic. 1 way to achieve this is to create a new large artboard and copy and paste your UI from all of them onto the new artboard then export.If you look at Facebooks toolkit you can see how they have created an outter artboard ideally if you selected it it would include all of the artboards are are on the inside of the main artboard as part of export.

Stacks should be able to grow up and to the left
The new stacking function is very good and complements the padding function.
However, on some occasions the direction of the stacks is not necessarily (from top to bottom) or (from left to right).
I believe that adding two more stack options: (from bottom to top) and (from right to left) can improve the creation of interfaces more easily.

Outline mode to show all objects as strokes
Would be great if illustrator's outline mode could be used in XD as well.
cmd+Y would switch the view to outlines.
Benefits:
• Easy selection of objects no matter how deeply hidden they are
• Great overview of the construction of the scene81 votes -
Drag and Drop Interaction
I'd love to be able to prototype drag and drop interactions (hover effect, ability to move an item on screen, and ideally trigger when something is dropped onto an object).
