Align to key object

One of the most convenient alignment features in illustrator is the 'align to key object', which Sketch doesn't support, making it difficult to align objects quickly. Please add that feature for XD.

    Yes, please implement this feature.

    For the moment we will have to settle for the Singari complement. It does this but does not highlight the option on which it does the alignment and is missing icons that helps you to recognize the alignment, but it gets you out of trouble quite well.

    Yes, please implement this feature.

    The ability to select two objects and then highlight which of them to align the other to is such a great feature in indesign and illustrator. Please implement here.

    Align one or more objects to another object by highlighting a "master" like in InDesign or Illustrator.

    Status of this URGENT users request or answer WHEEEEN? please :-***
    Two days after research found the solution - plugin Singari. It WORKS!

    Many apps align to the first selected, and I believe this is the most natural and easy to implement.

    Requested in 2016? For fs sake Adobe we need this BIG. TIME.

    Being able to select a reference object is essential for alignment functionality. Why is this still not implemented in XD when it's been in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator for years?

  • Manon commented  ·   ·  Report

    At this moment the object that is not key needs to be smaller than the key object or else everything moves, very frustrating!

    OMG ... Why is this not implemented yet ?? This feature is crucial to alignment, version 0.0.1 should have been released with this feature already

    I could not agree more. Love this feature in AI!

    This is an super important needed one for Adobe XD. Hope Adobe will closely add this feature.

    YES - align to key object. There is a plug in for this but I miss the way it feels in Illustrator. .

    I really hate xd just for not having these 3 features
    1: No alignment to key object
    2: why you dont add shape builder tool?
    3: Why no dark mode?
