When working with linked components, there are often times when individual components will 'mysteriously' not allow operations like delete, make local, etc.
This is usually because the selected component is a sub-component another compound components.
The process of finding out which other components in the library depend on the selected components is difficult even for the designer who created the components. It's nearly impossible for collaborators.

If a function like "Show Dependencies" were added to the right-click context menu of components that fall into this category, it would be much easier to manage.

I envision this feature as filtering the visible assets to display only components related to the selected component or components as parent or child with icons that represent the nature of the relationships.

The ability to select a component in a library and see a list of cloud documents that include at least one instance of the selected component.

If that is too complicated a lift, we could settle for a list of cloud documents that contain the selected component in its list of Document Assets.

Use Cases:

1. Want to delete a component but don't know for sure where it's being used.




2. Component has several states and designer can't remember why a certain state exists. Seeing where the component is used will help make that determination. Similar to case 1, this would also inform whether or not specific states could be safely removed.




3. Designer has so many documents in the cloud that finding a particular project file could be simplified by seeing a list of documents that use a specific component.

The main issue I encounter is no matter which manual setting I set for responsive design the object does not scale proportionally with the column grid. So if the column with is 20px and the object is 20px when I made the object responsive and the board, the object will end up shorter than the gride so the pixel scaling is not proportionate to each other.

I also use Figma, and in their app when you change the responsive width of the board the object resizes to scale with the columns, this is not the case with Adobe XD. This doesn't allow me to keep alignment automatically nor keep spacing consistent, nor does it scale things as it should.

In the table example shown below, the text element in the third column is set to auto height. All of the table cells are in Cell Group, which was then grouped with the horizontal line below Cell Group to create Row Group. Row Group has stacking turned on so that the horizontal line is always 16px below Cell Group.

This is all well and good until Repeat Grid enters the picture. If I create a repeat grid from Row Group, set the grid spacing to 16px, then populate variable height content into Column 3, I get the mess shown in Screenshot 155. Screenshot 156 shows that the grid spacing sets itself to a negative value when the variable height content is introduced, versus the expected behavior of the grid spacing adjusting the positions of each grid item to respect the 16px spacing set at the start.

Screenshot 154 shows that if the spacing is set back to 16px, the result is CLEARLY not correct. I'd like to request an update to repeat grid that allows it to respect the defined spacing between grid elements even if auto-height content exists. Thanks!

Hi -

I'm new to XD, but think I'm getting the hang of toggling between files that are open - since there are no pages as there are in Sketch. I like your Command + ~ keyboard shortcut very much for accomplishing this.

However, what I don't like is when a project file window is maximized, you can't execute the command, I believe - only when projects you are toggling between are in more reduced windows frames.

I maximize my projects for size, to be able to see more of the contents of a project. So, giving me such functionality - only to essentially take it away - is frustrating.

Can you review this and make it better?

Thanks!

When a component instance is selected, the inspector panel should show the master component name so I know exactly what I'm working with.

To get around the limitations of XD I have a lot of components. Many of these are nested. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell which version I have selected or even what level of the nested component I'm at.

Currently, the Component inspector section in the right panel tells me what states are available, which is a hint.
I can right click and ask to see the Component in my Assets panel (which doesn't work if I haven't already expanded the Assets panel 🙄).
I can also switch to the layers panel to see what the layer name is.

Those are poor solutions to the problem of quickly seeing what component is currently selected. I should be able to see the name right in the component inspector.
