Get assets on design spec mode
On the design specs mode, I should be able to direct developers to where a specific asset is. Sometimes I want to attach a link to an asset (if it's common use, a logo hosted on S3 for an example), sometimes the dev needs to be able to download the asset (be it an image already scaled to 1x, 2x, etc or the code of an SVG to embed into a page) and the third case is that I need to attach some free text (for example a path on our local server or the icon code on font awesome fa-camera).

Hi All,
With XD’s 11.0 release (which happened moments ago), we’ve made this feature live.
You can now save time and give developers the ability to extract and download assets from Design Specs. Mark layers as assets for export and send as a Design Specs link. Developers can download all the assets in the file format they need
As always, please do let us know about what you think of this feature and feel free to log the improvements that you’d like to see in this workflow as new requests at https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests?category_id=323330
Thanks,
Harish

Make it possible to pull assets from the Design Specs link. Developers are asking for assets on top of the link and it would be awesome if they could just pull them all from the link instead of it needing to exported

Yes, developers need to be able to export image and icon resources. It would be great if I hand them the design specs and they can get all the resources they need.

just give the ability to developers to export elements from Design Specs, they are still dependant on us, designers, to provide that.

From a design perspective, I agree. Being able to have all screens in one document is great, but I would like to able to spec certain screens in seperate links.

Reason I created this: Because some of the main threats about specs got completed and we are still not getting the bulk export.
From the receiver side:
I tried the specs new feature and also the export... and I'm still getting the feeling it should be all the same. same as Zeplin does, if we are sharing a specs doc to the developers, they should be able also to get all the assets right there, in one place.From the design side:
Is really frustrating not being able to export everything at once.
Best scenario: being able to mark assets like sketch (how do you want to export) and then run a single export to get them all.Me as a designer working with a lot of developers this is the main reason why i'm not switching to Adobe yet, and still sticking to Sketch. I would love to be able to change that situation asap.
