Expand Stroke / Create Outlines (convert stroke to separate filled path)

In Illustrator, I can draw an object and then use Expand to convert the strokes to a fill.

I would like to be able to do this in XD

    This is a must have, especially when exporting and working with SVGs.

    Would love to see this come to XD. It's such an important but simple feature. Converting outlines to a filled shape we can then use with the path finder tools would give us some powerful tools to create complex graphics

    Although bringing things from AI is a feasible solution, if you are a busy UI designer working on XD, sometimes making some tweaks or other modifications to the vector since it's faster, and more optimized, easier to edit shapes with strokes than complete fills! Then outlining strokes becomes a must have for exports (specially in SVG).

    Just pinch the code from the Ai dudes - easy.

    Yes!! This is probably one of the only things that keep me from moving to XD from sketch. being unable to create outlines from stroke icons, so i can export an svg is a major road block in my workflow.

    Agreed! This feature is needed!

    This would be tremendous help using expand stroke feature in XD.

    In order to compete with products like Sketch, it is crucial that Adobe push the drawing and illustrating capabilities of XD a lot further - otherwise instruct loyalists like us to use Illustrator for all glyph art and that XD is only for prototyping. Expanding strokes is a key part of most artists workflow and needs to be added.

    Extract outline to shape (to make icon faster). Just a tiny feature but useful for us
