Linked Character Styles and Colors across documents
I really liked the new October 2018 update where you have Linked Symbols across multiple files, especially when you made a source file.
I would like to also have this ability for character styles as I have many websites that all need to share the same UI style guide. I often change my mind about the font size, colour, line spacing and etc.
If I had this, then making a source file that links with multiple design files will make life so much easier to manage. Without having to go to each file and update...
38 votesHi Everyone!
With XD May release, now you could create a single source of truth for all your colors, character styles, and components in an XD cloud document and reuse all your assets in your XD documents.
With the linked assets feature, you can easily share and consume not only components — or what was formerly known as symbols — but colors and character styles as well. This is incredibly handy if you are sharing sticker sheet with your team or reuse design elements across projects.
Linked Assets complement the workflow of linked components. When you modify a linked asset in the source document, all the consuming documents with those linked assets receive update notifications. From there, you can choose preview and accept the updates.

Paste in viewport
When pasting an object into an artboard, by default it is pasted "in place" (i.e. at the same position as the artboard it was copied from). In most instances, this is very useful. However, in some cases it's not the desired behaviour. Particularly when working while zoomed into large artboards, it can be hard to find the pasted object.
It would be useful to have a modifer key / alternative shortcut for pasting the contents of the clipboard into the centre of the current viewport (i.e. the default paste behaviour in other CS apps). This would be in line with…
38 votesThanks for bearing with us on this! We’ve adjusted the way that paste works, and I think you’ll find it a little more intuitive. Now, we’ll always paste in the visible area of your selected artboard, which means you won’t lose your objects off screen any more.
Check it out, play with it, and let us know what you think here in UserVoice!

Search symbols
Being able to name and find quickly a symbole
As a big user of masters and symbols, It is important to being able to categorize them and being able to find the relevant item to add in the prototype.36 votesYou can now search your symbols as of our December release! We added a search feature in the assets panel that will search colors, character styles, and symbols.

Edit multiple selected items within groups
I would like to be able to select multiple text items, shapes, lines, etc. and be able to group edit their color, typeface, type size, corners, opacity, etc. Right now, I have to double click each and every type to change anything, which is a pain. Also (related) I need a way to axxess the type menu, shape menu, etc. without having to double click on anything.
36 votesHi all, with the March release XD now supports the ability to Cmd+Shift+Click (or Ctrl+Shift+Click on Win) to select items across multiple groups and edit them together.

Copy and paste symbol into a new document, keep it as a symbol
To not re-create symbols in a new document.
Still a good idea to add the ability to insert different text on different screens in one symbol.35 votesSorry for not updating this one! We do maintain it as a symbol now, and we have included linked symbols as of the October release.

Zoom Current Artboard to Fit (or to 100%)
Currently, Cmd-0 fits the entire XD set of Artboards into view. It would be nice that if an Artboard is selected, the same command will fit THAT Artboard into the view (similar to InDesign, where there are 2 commands, one for Fit All and one for Fit Page/Spread, but needing only one keyboard shortcut for both, purely dependent on what you have selected or not.
35 votesYou can now select the artboard and press Cmd-3 to zoom to fit on the artboard.

Ability to hide objects
Would be nice if objects could be temporarily hidden.
Similar to illustrator.
cmd+3 hides an object
cmd+alt+3 unhides an object.That would make selecting other surrounding objects an easy task.
It also works nicely if the user wants to focus on a specific area without being distracted by other elements33 votesHi, all-
We’ve introduced the ability to hide objects with the Layers panel in our November release. However, we understand that some of you want more advanced control for hiding and showing objects. Given that there are a number of different potential directions we could take this, we’d love to hear your thoughts in new ideas in UserVoice. I’m closing this idea as completed for now.
Thanks,

Open XD files without XD
When handing off designs to developers it would be great to allow them to view the XD file for font size etc. without actually paying or having an app installed.
32 votesWe do have design specs now, which developers can use to view colors, character styles, and measurements without having to pay for a license.

Complex object fill colors (set fill on entire group at once)
Option to fill entire imported asset with color on single click selection. Currently double clicking allows parts to be filled, but for a complex icon with multiple parts one has to select and color them individually. See attached example.
Example. When one has imported a series of icons from Illustrator, selecting the the icon should present a color fill option to fill that entire icon with color.

Snap to Grid
just like in Illustrator, Set grid, turn it on, any move using mouse or kbd keys will always snap the move to the created grid. very impt for UX design work.
31 votesIf you have the artboard grid turned on, shift+arrow will now snap to the grid in that direction. Hope this helps!

Spacebar + Cmd/Option to Zoom in/out like Photoshop

Support 3 letters hex code
Entering #000 should automatically convert it to #000000.
30 votesThis will be available in our next update, in August.
We’ve added three kinds of shorthand:
- One digit “c” → #cccccc
- Two digits “80” → #808080
- Three digits “8f0” → #88ff00

Change spacing between objects/artboards by dragging (like Repeat Grid spacing)
Upon selecting multiple objects, have a key combination / tool that enables us to resize the spacing between objects rather than the objects themselves. For example, three aligned, ungrouped, circles, when resized horizontaly would increase the spacing between them, rather than making them eliptical.
This behaviour already occurs when those objects are text boxes, so I think it would be useful having it for everything else.For me, this would save time when I need to align or distribute multiple different objects across the artboard ( for example, a set of vector icons ) which don't work with the repeating…

Individual styling of word in a paragraph for Windows
I think this already existed in macOS version. The idea is you can style (color, fontsize, etc.) a certain word or character in a line for sentence (one text group). This is, for me, one of the most useful features in design.
28 votesSomeone mentioned this in a comment, but yes, we did deliver this feature in our June release of XD! Check it out!

Allow user-entered margins and padding around text boxes and graphic/shape bounding boxes
There should be an option in the panel to increase the size of the bounding box and the way it snaps to the grid and content around it. The side panel (where user enters text size) should have a way to pad and add margins on all sides of a box or only certain few. This would translate better in the design specs as well as it would get designers in the mindset of a developer more explicitly.
27 votesWith the XD 26 release, padding is available on any group, configurable in the layout section.

[shortcut] Easy artboard + object selection to quickly align objects to artboard
Ability to click an object and the artboard (title or artboard border perhaps) so that a user can quickly align the object to the artboard itself. Most frequent use case is centering an object to the artboard.
Sometimes faster and easier to do this than having to move the object until smart guides assist the user in placing the object in the right spot on the artboard.
27 votesNow, you can select an element or a group, use the alignment tools via property inspector and the selected item will be aligned to the artboard (a single selection of one item or one group has to be made). Please let us know if it covers your needs described in this request. Thanks.

Merge CC libraries and Assets Panel
Merge CC libraries and Assets Panel. It doesn't make sense to have 2 "panels" for the same thing. Photoshop has 1, Illustrator has 1. Why not XD?
Plus, i can't use the "features" assigned to the asset panel with the CC libraries. WHY?!
26 votesThe October 2020 release now has integrated CC Libraries into the Assets panel – and it’s now called the Libraries panel. Check it out!
