Export/Import Saved Assets (Colors, Character Styles, Symbols)
Saved Assets need to be able to quickly copy pasted between multiple .xd files.
79 votesHi All -
We’re excited to announce that with XD May release, 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.

Direct selection must ignore invisible layers
When you Ctrl+click to do direct selection then you also select layers with 0% opacity, which means that you are not selecting what you see.
With Auto Animate I have begun to place layers on top of each other, and in next artboard move them into final position to simulate foldout. This will also transition from 0 to 100% opacity, which is why I don't simply hide the layers.
This makes it difficult to edit what is visible and layered behind the top layers of 0% opacity.
E.g. if I then want to edit a text field then I cannot…2 votesYou can now cycle through layers in direct selection, which means you can select behind your invisible layers. Hope that helps!

Nested Symbol Overrides: swap inner symbol in different copies of outer symbol
So I started playing with Symbols Override for the June Update, but I feel this feature is still a little limited to what we can do.
Like I want to create a master nav bar with active and default states. But the override doesn't allow me to have that flexibility.
Same thing applies to a tab bar for iOS apps.
Right now I feels this Symbols Override feature only works for Buttons when you want to keep the same button styling but have different text. Or maybe cards with bitmap images, but not in a repeated grid list view format.

Return the Fill eyedropper to its previous location and add a keyboard shortcut
I rely heavily on the color picker, and it is now two clicks away instead of one. Furthermore, there's no keyboard shortcut for it. Returning the color picker to its previous collection and/or adding a keyboard shortcut will save me a lot of time in the long run.
This is a crosspost of "Color picker now 2 clicks away" under the Bugs section: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353010-adobe-xd-bugs/suggestions/32248015-color-picker-now-2-clicks-away
91 votesHi, everyone – this feature unfortunately has two different parts to it. As you probably noticed, we moved the eyedropper back to the property inspector a couple of months ago. We have a separate request tracking the shortcut to activate the eyedropper, which if you’re interested in, you can upvote here: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/13029870

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!

Scale/resize symbols individually
I love the addition of symbols to XD, only let down (beside the ability to re-organise them which is already posted as an idea) is that I have to create a new symbol for every required size.
Please let us scale the symbols
1,700 votesHi All,
We’re excited to announce that with our May release, we have introduced Components (previously known as symbols). Components are design elements with unmatched flexibility that help you create and maintain repeated elements while varying the instances for different contexts and layouts.
You can create a master component to define a reusable element, such as a button, and you can change any of its properties to customize instances of that element (Size & Layout, Style and Appearance, and Structural overrides). Changes you make to an individual instance are specific to that element, but changes you make to the master propagates to all the instances where the property hasn’t been customized.
Components now could also be responsively resized with the same powerful capabilities of responsive resize baked in.
Finally, you could link components across documents to maintain a single source of your components using the Link Assets feature or simply…

Paste above currentyl selected layer instead on top most position
Currently pasting something is always placed on the top most position, that should be changed. Instead pasted elements should always be positioned above the currently selected layer.
Thansk in advance.
1 voteYou can already do this with Duplicate! By default, Duplicate will maintain the Z-order, while Copy/Paste will paste on the top.
Hope this helps!

Affordance to see/change Home Artboard in design mode.
Currently there is no way to know which artboard is the "Home Artboard" outside of Prototype mode, and there's no way of changing it in design mode.
I make a lot of presentations/decks in XD and I don't often use prototype mode. When I share a prototype/deck I assume the first slide is going to be the artboard in the upper left because this the default order for unlinked artboards in XD: left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
I currently don't have any visual indication (in design mode) as to which artboard is my "home artboard." Which means sometimes I don't know that my…
1 voteHome artboards are now marked by flows, so you should be able to identify them in Design mode.

Full featured top menu for Windows 10
Get rid of the hamburger menu, and give windows users a full on top menu like in Photoshop or Illustrator. Hiding options behind an icon is a major pain. As a user of both Mac and Windows, I'd love for the program to be the same across both operating systems.

Ability to designate font points vs. pixels
Since our developers code our websites in pixels, we need the ability to change the font style from points to pixels.

Guides
An ability to drag out persistent guides to an artboard and have other objects snap to it
3,457 votesI’m happy to announce that starting today, with the latest update, Artboard Guides functionality is part of XD!
Creation is very simple, you can simply point to the top and left of any artboard, click and drag to create guides.
You can check how Guides work in a short video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnalFtR2KMA ) or check out Adobe XD’s help pages to see all the details of the feature (https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/artboards-grids.html#custom-artboard-guides).
Happy designing!

Have a Convert Point Tool (To Edit Your Paths)
It would be very helpful to have a Convert Point Tool (I believe it's called) where you can edit all of your paths that you created with the actual Pen Tool itself. I know XD is supposed to be much more simple than Illustrator is, but there are some things that a person just needs to learn before he gets into a design and this is one of them. Honestly, the only reason I switched from Ai to Xd is that the overall work experience is a lot better but not having features like this one annoys me very much.
1 voteYou can already convert an anchor point on a path in XD, from straight to curved, or curved to straight. To do so while drawing a new path with the Pen tool, simply double-click on the last point you created. To convert a point on a path you’ve already created, double-click on the path you want to edit with the Select tool, then double-click on any point on the path to convert it.

Responsive Design
Would love to see a way to prototype for different screen but not to copy paste and adjust the size - make it like in Indesign that we can link files to different sizes.
Have a tool that can collect the assets and place them together into a different scree.
432 votesHello,
With last week’s update of XD, we introduced Responsive Resize – a way to easily resize your elements as you adapt them to different screen sizes. This should massively speed up your workflow.
Download the latest version of XD to give it a try, and check out a 3 min overview of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKvg8_8jv10&t=2s
Look forward to hearing what you think!

Basic Text Transform: all caps, all lowercase
Add basic text transform like there is in Illustrator to make it easier and faster for developers to code your designs. Our developers have to waist time retyping text for layouts that have already been designed. At least basic uppercase and lowercase.
2,755 votesHi everyone,
I’m glad to announce that the text uppercase, lowercase and title case transformations are now available with the XD 19 release.
Pro Tip: You can apply the transformations to characters styles and make global updates across the document.

Enjoy and let us know your feedback!
Best,
Dan
