1. Adjust position of objects across artboards relative to their current positions

   Selection and operations on multiple objects has a considerable improvement potential to better meet the professional needs.

   I would love to be able to conveniently select, then change and also add, subtract to etc. to the relative position of multiple selected elements like in Sketch.

   Use case: While cooperatively working with a XD file a designer Ted want's to check, if one specific element used all over his huge design went a little bit off of their desired positions., which causes flickering in the prototype. Optimally Ted does the following:

   1. Ted selects the suspected Element to find out the exact name and correct position. It's "Toolbar", X:0 Y:220
   2. He uses search in the layer list for the word "Toolbar". If "Toolbar" would be a component Ted would right click > select instances and skip step 3 but it's a group.
   3. Ted selects all Toolbars at once in the layer list by clicking the fist one holding Shift and clicking the last one.
   4. Ted checks the Transform panel. If at least one of the layers is off, the corresponding input shows dash instead of the relative position.
   5. Wow. Both are dashes (good he noticed it) Ted writes "0" at X Position and 220 in the Y
   6. Good Job Ted!

   What we do instead?

   We can't select multiple elements in the layer list if they are on the different artboards or search is applied.

   We can't see the relative position of multiple elements, but see absolute values relative to a center of the Pasteboard, even though they all are on artboards and none really cares about values like X:-23615 Y:15566, because they are useless and unexpected.

   We can't check if the components were offset until clicking them one by one, which is suboptimal taking into account how many of such instances it could be.

   We can define / add subtract / multiply/divide a size of multiple elements, but ... can't do the same with the position. This can be done better.

2. Stop reorder layers in the layers panel automatically

   When I click ”Edit Main Component“, the Main Component is automatically pushed on the top position of a group. That kills the design which is based on stacks. Make it stop or at least give the option to turn it off.

3. Remove captcha for password managers

   I use a password manager (LastPass, Bit Warden, etc) to auto fill organization-required passwords for prototypes. Recently this has been causing a visual captcha for every view of the prototype in the browser. Clearly not needed.

   Using a password manager (copy and pasting email) does not imply spamming tactics.

5. copy appearance of a group and paste into another

   Paste appearance now works for individual items. It would be time saving if I could copy the appearance of a group of objects and paste it into another one with the same objects and different appearance.

6. Esc button on Mac Touchbar should be available when editing text objects

   When I am typing text or creating an object, I always want to be able to click ESC to deselect the active object. Currently the touchbar in XD causes my ESC button to disappear. In order to stop typing inside of a text object I have to click on the canvas, which creates another text object.

7. Define minimum and maximum sizes for components

   Hello XD team,

   I am working on a large design system and even if a lot efforts have been done on the components in the previous patches, I would like to share my thoughts on the two following points.

   I collaborate with product owners, project managers and developers. These profiles have been formed on XD (basics principles and how to use our design system). As far as I know, they struggle on updating values as text or icon within components. They have to click a lot time to "correctly" point on the element they want to update, resulting in a lot of little unwanted modifications (moving elements, changing sizes...). In the end, they are affraid to manipulate the components. It would be great if we could have some forms inputs on the components panel, where they could directly type their content (title, paragraph...), select the icon (dropdown list ?) they want etc... This way, they could adapt the components to their needs without manipulating the layers and actives ; avoiding errors.
   Is there any plan to have a min / max width / height for the components ? I would like to create some constraints on my components (cards, buttons, inputs etc) to make them compliant with our guidelines. For now, people can create a 20px or 2000px button which is basically non-sense.

   Thank you for your advised feedbacks,
   Bertrand

9. Align child layers inside a group to artboard

   When I select a single child layer inside a group, all the align options are disabled. Please enable them so that I can align them with respect to the artboard.

   Also, please allow us to select an artboard and a layer outside the artboard together and align.

10. default position for a component to snap to when added to an artboard

    Many of my components have standard locations on an artboard. I would like components to snap to that default location.

    At a minimum the default location needs to be specified in the following ways:
    a. As an xy co-ordinate from the top left of the Artboard.
    b. As centred at a y co-ordinate

    However, it would also be good if the distance from the bottom and right-hand side of the artboard could also be specified, and also the distance in terms of fractions of artboard height and width.

    I envision the component snapping into the correct position whenever a component is dragged from the component panel into the rough vicinity of its default position.

    If it is dragged to a position well away from its default position then it should be placed as it currently is placed.

    The same behaviour should occur for components dragged from outside the artboard, and .... if a paste at current pointer location is implemented.

11. Replace all occurences of one component with another

    I occasionally come up against a situation where I have created two components that I realize should have been a single component.

    When this happens I must repeatedly highlight the redundant component on the canvas and manually replace the component.

    It would be great to have a way of simply replacing all occurrences of the redundant component.

    In an ideal world, this function would be a smart replace where object attributes from the replaced component instances were applied to an object in the new component instance where its name and type matched.

12. make local should also make the component the main component

    Having copied a component from a different document and made it local, I think it would be more logical if the component was also tagged as the main component instead of just an instance.

    This was the behaviour that I naturally assumed was taking place when I first did this because whenever I create a component in other circumstances the selected object is the main component.

    When you implement the duplicate component functionality I would also argue for the duplicate component to be tagged as a main component.

13. Edit rotation point for 3D transforms

    Hi,

    would it be possible to move the 3D rotation point, so we can rotate something like a door on a hinge rather than spin around the centre?

    At the moment, it's possible to rotate and move, but it doesn't keep an edge in exactly the same place using the autoanimate options - it's a bit floaty.

    Thank you,
    Adam

16. Option "Open in XD" on Creative Cloud Web

    I want to be able to set a shortcut in Google Drive (or any explorer) to edit directly in Xd a file stored in CC.

    I've found how to get a shortcut via CC Web, but once i'm on the file, i can't simply "Open with Xd"

    I can download the file, sure, but that would create a copy, it wouldn't edit the original file. that's why the option "Open With" would be very useful.

    It's a pain to manage 2 file managers, one for spec docs and one for mockups, that would easily connect both.

    Thanks.

17. Share artboards between different flows

    I often create a series of artboards that I want to use in several flows, or more than once in the same flow.

    The "return to previous artboard" functionality is inadequate to allow this to happen.

    E.g. A series of artboards that show an image being loaded and edited. I want to transition to this series of artboards in many places throughout my workflow, and once I have progressed through these image editting artboards I want to return to the artboard that I was at before I transitioned. Because I am not returning from the first artboard in the set I cannot use the "return to previous artboard" action.

    I.e:
    < Originating Artboard A> -> <Artboard 1> -> <Artboard 2> -> Return to Originating artboard A

    < Originating Artboard B> -> <Artboard 1> -> <Artboard 2> -> Return to Originating artboard B

    Currently I have the following options:
    a. Duplicate the Artboards (Ie Artboard 1 and 2 in the example above). This means that if I modify the Artboard (1 or 2) I have to repeat the modifications in all the duplicates.

    b. Make all the content of the Artboards into a component, one component for each artboard (I.e. a component for artboard 1 and a component for artboard 2). This works for some situations where minor layout mods are made, but feels messy to me, and more importantly does not help if I want to add another artboard.

    One way to achieve the required functionality is to llow artboards to be grouped together, and add a trigger action "Return to Artboard previous to group"

    A more sophisticated version would be to allow the creation of Artboard level components. I.e. A component that contains whole artboards, and allows modification of things such as layout, triggers and actions, addition of new artboards in the "main component" and overrides in the component instances.

    I often create a series of artboards that I want to use in several flows, or more than once in the same flow.

    The "return to previous artboard" functionality is inadequate to allow this to happen.

19. Tap on hover state should transition to another artboard

    Please remove, or add option to remove, the animation from Hover state back to default when a Tap trigger is attached to a component that is in Hover state.

    This animation is unnecessary when navigating to another artboard and can cause all manner of irritation if the artboard to which one is navigating shows the component intentionally in hover state.

    Example:
    - An image control has a hover state
    - When in that hover state, the user can click to cause an action.
    - The action is simulated by a navigation to another artboard
    - In the destination artboard, we would show that image control in its hover state as an indicator that it is currently active.

    As XD is currently implemented, clicking on that control will cause it to animate from hover state to default state (as it leave one artboard) and back to the hover state as designed in the destination artboard.
    It is currently impossible to animate a smooth transition between artboards leaving the component in hover state.

20. Export selected artboards to one GIF

    We have a set of artboards of the same dimensions. We select them, activate the plugin.
    The popup will ask for "speed" ex: 0.5s, "loop" ex: forever/xRepeats.

    Optional: a slider for colors/dither/lossy, a preview and file size before saving the result to the desktop.

    It would cut the ezgif step.
