Please return the ability to nudge components with the arrow key *while viewing the pixel distance indicator simultaneously during movement.

After the October 2019 update, users can no longer press alt+arrow key to nudge AND view the pink pixel distance indicator at the same time. The distance indicator only appears when tapping alt but not arrow (only on a static component).

In the past, after I selected a component, then hovered my cursor over a different nearby component, I could hold alt to see the distance indicator between the 2. As I nudged the selected component with the arrow keys, I could see the pixel distance numbers rise or fall as I moved towards or away the other hovered upon component.

The XD team replaced this functionality with a "resize via alt + arrow key functionality" which I find less useful given a component size's futile relationship with the pixel distance indicator.

This was my favorite feature in any design software I've used, and I found it to be a critical tool in being pixel precise when spacing 2 components from each other. I hoped they'd bring this to Illustrator for years, and Sketch has had it forever. This further illustrates the need for users to configure their own keyboard commands (go vote for that too!)

I'd be fine with using a different key than alt to do it, but please vote to bring this feature back.

FINALLY there's a hover state on components! GREAT!

However I quickly ran into a limitation. When the user touches a button or clicks it with the mouse/trackpad, the button needs an "on tap" or "on click" state that very briefly changes a button's appearance to give the visual feedback "your click or touch was detected".

So now that you have HOVER please add ON CLICK/TAP ort whatever you want to cal it.

Basically the component state changes for a definable amount of time before the destination or next state is triggered.

While you're at it, how's about looking at some of the long-time available link states we know from the web, like visited, or on-focus (when users like to use the tab button to move from button to button)

Hey guys,

it would be great if you expand the States of component not only for Hover or Tap, but also a simple Loop Animation... Here is the tutorial of what I mean -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev3fSi7P66c
And the video below is an actual prototype I'm working at of wayfinding in the museum, where animated arrow shows you the way...
For now I can achieve this effect only between 2 different artboards... But it would be really cool if the component in some way had a "loop" auto-animate option between states... 🤓

And hey, this could be the beginning of making gifis directly in XD... 😊 which would be AWESOOOOOOOOOME! 🥳Thank you 🙏

Hi,

I would like to request basic, native Xbox controller integration into the mobile application - the simple tap action is all I am looking for.

I am currently working for ABC Studios International and utilizing Adobe XD to produce the apps which appear within the show. Usually this work would occur in post production, however I am trying to encourage a more active use of this software in my local screen industry.

An example of an application is a simple phone call interaction. The character receives a call, picks up and hangs up. In most cases the talent can simply interact with these applications via touch, however sometimes the phone needs to be triggered externally by a crew member; for instance when they receive a call on their phone which is sitting in their car or on a table or when an action has to occur at the precise moment the director calls for it.

To achieve this I have been connecting an Xbox controller to the mobiles, via Bluetooth, and running a custom string through the Android app 'Automate' which simulates a tap when the 'A' button is pressed.

Unfortunately this is not a fool proof solution, and frequently runs into bugs or crashes. On set conditions change drastically and in most cases I am not the person operating these mobile XD interactions; they are often operated by crew members with little experience with this type of software or technology in general.

Unfortunately if an Adobe XD mobile application doesn't work once or twice out of a hundred times, it will be rejected by the onset crew and labelled 'too hard'. I do not wish to see this happen in my local industry, as it would stop me from using Adobe XD in the future.

If native integration of a simple 'tap' interaction via an Xbox controller was possible, I believe this would eliminate most, if not all, of the issues I am currently having on set.

The show I am working on is now in it's first week of shoot and just moments ago I encountered the first case of my solution not working. Please contact me if possible as I would love to discuss this.

Adobe XD is perfect for this use case in film and tv and has already assisted me on multiple productions. Crew's love it and are excited by the tech when it works. It has allowed us to achieve more sophisticated interactions and visuals already.

Thanks for your time!

Now that the "Tap/Hover Effect" request ()https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/12941394-tap-hover-effect?tracking_code=c41a5301558789f85205f7c47ec8b9ca) is officially closed, we need a feature to do what (I believe) the 8952 people who voted for it have been asking for since March of 2016:

A way to assign Hover events as triggers for the existing interactions platform.

Component states is a wonderful addition to XD, but it barely scratches the surface of what designers need for prototyping hover events.

We need to be able to add tooltips, menu pop-up overlays and many other effects that still can only be achieved by transitioning to another artboard. As it stands, to prototype a menu overlay that will ultimately occur as a hover event, we must use the "Tap" trigger and tell the design reviewer "this will be activated by a mouse-over event, we just can't simuate that with our current tool."

Obviously, XD is able to trap the hover event. We just need it to be wired to the transition interactions.

Hey,

when one has lots of States in component, then it's really frustrating, that the Component Group in Layer Panel just keeps closing, when I change the State. Would be really a great help if it is open all the time, unless I close it on my own...

Plus it would be also a great Help, if I select some element inside of a component group (like in the video at the end -> close icon) and in properties panel I would have the following info -> name of Master Component and in what State I am working now. Coz at some point I got really dizzy with my topbar and states it can have... I can imagine, I am not alone... :)

Thank you!

I really would like to have an ability to swap images inside already created masks... especially it's important when one works with components.
The only way is to drag files from finder. (like in the attached video)... I wish I could do this with assets I already have in XD.
The only way around it at the moment is to create shape and mask image from the very beginning... From this moment on, if I want to swap image, I have to cut it from outside mask and paste into the mask... and then to delete the old image under the new one... which takes just too much time. Haven't you guys said at Adobe Max, it's all about time? :P
I would really love to have an easy image swap, even if I dragged my image into the shape from finder right from the beginning.

It is really a crucial feature for those, who work with real content... Thanx! :)
