Layer Ordering by last added
Having the option to reverse the order of layers for a file. Every time I create a web mockup with sticky navigation, I have to reorder the layers so the navigation shows as intended in the prototype. XD adds to the top of my layers which is the opposite of design workflows. Seems counterintuitive since generally sites are designed top to bottom.

Identify text objects linked to character style
Like the 'diamond' symbol you have for components, please add a symbol identifying characters that use a style from the library.
Also, how do we unlink a text from a library-style?3 votesThanks for your feedback! UserVoice works best when you file only one suggestion per ticket.
I’ll keep this open for identifying the character style in the design. As for your question, you can change the text formatting in the property inspector to the right and automatically unlink it from the character style in your assets panel.

Move Assets library into its own window
Assets library MUST be in it's own window and within the component inspector as well!
Adobe! you've been developing design tools for 30 years and all of them have unique windows for repeatable assets such as Type characters, paragraphs, symbols etc. Please move the Document Library outside the General Library pane! it takes three clicks to jump from one pane (mostly the Layers) to select a document asset.

image export with stacks containing auto-height (creates transparency gaps in image)
I often have to export modules/images for dev. This includes a text portion which I use auto height with padding. Then I have the elements stacked. If the objects aren't pixel perfect it leave a gap.
So for example:
Vertical Stack 1: 50px height
Vertical Stack 2: 50px height
Vertical Stack 3: 50px height
Exports completely fine because pixel are perfect.
But if it's not pixel perfect
Vertical Stack 1: 50px height
(transparent gap)
Vertical Stack 2: 51.2px height (because of auto-height element with text)
(transparent gap)
Vertical Stack 3: 50px height
Anyway to fix this issue? Perhaps auto-height feature…

BUG: When an image is placed in a rectangle with drop shadow, it can't be repositioned or resized
BUG: When an image is placed in a rectangle with drop shadow, it can't be repositioned or resized—when double-clicking it just jump directly into editing the shape, and no image is shown in the layers panel.
(XD 42.1.22.4 x64 Mac OS)Please fix this
1 voteHi Vlad,
Thanks for the additional details. I was able to reproduce the issue and I have opened a bug to track this.
Meanwhile a possible workaround here will be to convert the shape to a path, and after that the resize/reposition should work.
Thanks,

Choose if changes to default state rollout to other states
When working with components, I sometimes have to make changes to the default state that I don't necessarily need in the other states, it would be nice to have the ability to choose if those changes roll out to the other states or not.

Swap any object with a component
I think XD should be feature like Renaming & Swap Symbol like Sketch & Figma. Where I can easily rename any selected component, layer, group or art board and easily swap symbol instead of drag and drop.
2 votesThanks for your feedback! You can currently rename components in the assets panel. You can already swap components by dragging any component over any other component instance to replace one component to another. I’ll change this suggestion to reflect that.

Adjust measurement decoration size
I'm an Adobe XD user and I have a 34" monitor. I'm having trouble getting my eyes closer to the monitor because the Measurements (Alt) view is too small.
I request for a font size setting of +- Measurements (Alt) font for a widescreen monitor (example: 34").
And when I use a red background. The Measurements (alt) color becomes faint/not visible..

Stacks do not depend on layer order (or layer order can be reversed)
Currently, a stack is dependent on the stacking order of the layers.
Usually, that doesn't cause any trouble. But I have grid layout (aka table) where a context menu needs to fly up instead of down. To prevent the menu from ending up under the rows above, I have to break the stack so I can reverse the layer order (ie the row at the lowest y value needs to be at the highest z value).
Ideally, a stack would not depend on layer order.
Alternatively, you could just allow for reversing the logic somewhere, like a sort flip control.1 vote -
Component should have its own coordinate system
position elements relative to the component coordinate system NOT THE RANDOM ARTBOARD IT IS ON!!!!
When you make a component it should have its own coordinate system where the upper left corner is 0, 0. It is insane that you reference the artboard for position and not the parent container (component). I know you thought was a good idea when you made it this way. I am sure you had to go to your boss to force the software developers to get this feature. I am sure that they had to write a work around to even get it to…

Responsive font size for different screens
Designing for web means mocking up, at minimum, for desktop and mobile. I have to create separate heading styles for both device sizes. Would be so so nice if I could define font sizes based on device widths for each heading style and swap them all at once, rather than tediously going through the mockups and updating each text box one-by-one.

Expand artboard from the middle

Ability to unlink component from source document without breaking component states
Currently a component is fully chained to the original document it was built in. No way of copying the component will unchain it from that source document unless the component is unlinked and rebuilt from the ground up. Given that early mock ups or sometimes separate documents are where an idea may be built then brought in later, this creates a chaotic hop around from source to source to source. As far as I know, there's no way to reliably drop all source elements into a single document after the thing has been built.

Dual Screen support
It would be great if some features to support dual-screen laptops, like zenbook duo, could be added. Similar to the control panel support available for adobe photoshop.
Meanwhile, it would have been nice if the panels were dockable at least. Since the panels could not be docked aside, we are not able to take the panels to a separate screen.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! Your second suggestion already exists, so I’m going to keep this one open for dual screen support. You should upvote the other one to get updates on that.

Transform using %
Transform %: select your object(s) > inside transform type in the percentage width/height you want and append % + enter. I use this in Pshop/Illust/prem etc all the time.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! I’ll leave this suggestion open, but you can already use mathematical expressions in width and height – you’ll just need to include the original value (156 * 0.5) for 50%, for instance.

Clip content instead of masking
It would be good if an option could be put in all forms or at least when several elements are grouped that would make the content that we put inside it clip the content so that it would not be seen from the outside, just as artboards do. It seems to me something primary that should be because having to create a mask with the work that it gives just for that is a lot.

Comments for coediting files
We need to have a way to leave comments on specific objects or artboards in files with coediting enabled. Should be able to tag other people, assign the comment, and resolve when completed. Bonus points if you can integrate with, like, asana or trello or whatever.

move "deactivate font" at the bottom of the context menu
Hi,
Please move "Desactivate font" in the context menu of a font style to the bottom of the list.

Allow "Replace font" tool to replace fonts with same name
There is currently an issue with XD that if you install the Creative Cloud version of a Font, that was previously installed on your Windows machine, then XD will consider that you're using the old version of the font and warn you that all fonts are missing.
Actually from a technical perspective I understand "Why", however what is infuriating is that the "Replace font" tool itself doesn't understand that we installed a new version and that when we select the new font to replace with in the dropdown, it should replace with the new version of that font.
Because the…
