Preview of fonts
Please make it possible to preview fonts!!! It's a program dealing with text and layout. New user and imagined this to be basic. Would make everything so much easier and better. And end products coming out of this soft wear surely nicer ;)

Let artboard grow with content
If a stacked group grows vertically, then let the artboard grow with it.

Allow 'stack' feature for an entire artboard!
Allow 'stack' feature for entire content of an artboard! This would be amazing! Now I have to put everything in one group to do that – this wouldn't be necessary if we make the entire artboard to a vertical stack!

Menu to select specific layers under your cursors click-position
I would love to right-click on a spot and go to a layers-list and see all layers underneath my cursor so I can "dig deep" and even select locked layers by simply right-clicking on them, go to "layers" and then see a hierarchy of everything (even locked items) and select the one I want and change it/remove it. See screenshot for further explanation (As in Sketch and Figma).

default stroke
Enable preferences to turn off default behavior of stroke being "on" and applied to everything. I rarely ever use it when create UI elements. I saw forum requests for this but it seemed like folks where directed here to create a feature request. i didn't see anywhere to +1 the idea - or any feature requests w/ this.

Use ALT/Option key + click and drag to duplicate object in stack.
As an Adobe Xd user that uses many stack groups, I would like to quickly duplicate individual items within a stack.
See video attached for example:
1. Outside of stack groups the default behavior of holding ALT/Option key while clicking and dragging an object is to duplicate it.
2. Holding ALT/Option key on an object within a stack group does nothing.
3. (Workaround) Copy / Pasting an object within a stack group with Command+C & Command+V duplicates the object in the correct location.This is 1 of 2 minor bugs I've found with stacks, but I think I'm only finding…

Pasting object into stack group should align it with the rest of the stack instead of its original location.
As an Adobe Xd user that uses many artboards & different stack groups, I would like for pasted items to align with the rest of the stack group when adding more objects instead of pasting in the exact same coordinates that it's pasted from.
See video attached for example:
1. I copy an object that I want in a different stack (this can be any object on any artboard)
2. I double-click into the stack group to paste the new object.
3. Paste the object
4. The resulting object is pasted at the exact coordinates that it was copied from…2 votes -
Application frame toggle for XD
Application frame for Adobe products are great stuff, I been using since years, I love this features across most of Adobe products specially Illustrator and Photoshop. Please give the same feature in Adobe XD too, that will be very handy and increases usability of the application specially if we are dragging assets comparing different XD widows/projects, creating user flow and persona/flow charts and many other features.

Direction control of the "Stack" feature
The "Stack" feature added recently is very useful, it helps a lot when designing components, but it is still limited.
Today the default behavior is always to push the elements to the right, and this is not the correct thing every time.
The resource could have a way of defining which way the elements will be pushed, similar to the responsiveness control.
Example: In a navbar I have buttons that are fixed on the right, when updating the button text, alignment on the right is lost.

Add icon category in assets
Instead of creating components, Icons could have a separate category in assets. This could help organize the project and could be used to generate a separate zip file for download for the developers.

Design responsively with Auto Layout
Spend more time iterating and less time moving things around.
Less manual resizing: Buttons can resize with their text and lists can rearrange themselves when items are moved around.
Stretch to fill: Auto Layout components can now stretch left and right (or top and bottom) for easier responsive design.
Design speaks development: Auto Layout’s padding, direction, and spacing settings translate directly into code, simplifying developer handoffs.

preset grid layouts, right now there's only two options (use default or make default), would love to have presets for different layouts

Manage Overrides (Highlight, Edit and Remove specific Overrides)
Overriding a master component is great feature. However, sometimes it's really hard to keep track of all the overwritten styles.
Which style comes from the master component and which one is overrode?And sometimes I just want to reset a specific style back to the master but keep the rest of my overrides.
A Great solution would be an Idicator in the property inspector which shows what style comes from the master and which one is overrode.
A right-click at the indicator could reveal the option to reset its value to the master components style.The indicators visibility could be…

Stacks should dynamically shift content in Preview
Create component - + New state (bigger than the default) - Merge the component with another one or another element into a stack -
Preview mode - click the component to change state and the stack doesn't respect padding .
2 votesPlease note that stacks is a feature that is intended to be used at design time, and does not dynamically shift the stack in preview. I’m going to rewrite this particular request to be more precisely about the latter suggestion.

Option to change the stack direction:
The new stacking function is very good and complements the padding function.
However, on some occasions the direction of the stacks is not necessarily (from top to bottom) or (from left to right).
I believe that adding two more stack options: (from bottom to top) and (from right to left) can improve the creation of interfaces more easily.

Option for: Padding overwriting component size
This would make it much easier to create a designsystem with flexible buttonsizes. One form component that controlls the border radius and border for small, medium and large buttons.

Responsive Design as Flexbox like behaviour
The latest update on XD with responsive design (flex properties) and stacks has been helpful in creating designs. But conveying the component design to developers is ineffective due to the inability to prototype responsive design ideas with a fluid, flexible canvas would be appreciated. An update to set break-points and further improve Flex box properties as flow along with Reveal/Scale would be appreciated
