Plugin to replace Artboard font
The idea is to give designers the ability to change entire Font family on a dashboard to a different font while maintaining its typeface/font weight. I previously purchased a UI with dozens of dashboards which have different font from our client's font choice. Its a pain going through all individual fonts on each dashboard trying to change them.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. Once you import from Sketch, you should be able to add all of the content to your assets panel by doing a Ctrl+A and then clicking on the plus sign in the assets panel. Once it’s in the assets panel, you should be able to change fonts globally.

Snap to vector points
I am looking for a feature to snap objects to already existing geometry. So for example I have an existing line and want to draw a rectangle, which starts exactly at one endpoint and ends (with one side) at the other endpoint of the line (like object snap in AutoCAD for example or like the behaviour in Sketchup).
For the moment I would be fine with snaping to endpoints, more advanced it would be great to have "variable" snapping to edges/lines as well.
This would allow for more accurate and faster designs.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! I’m ALMOST sure I have what you’re describing, but to make sure, can you please send me a screenshot of what you’d like to align?

Post to Behance (Stories, New Case, Add to Existing Case)
Description of the feature
I would love to share an artboard or prototype-video to Behance, either as a "Story" or as a whole project (and/or add to an existing if you're really cool!)
Why this is valuable to you
As a freelancer I rely on Behance for my daily income. Having a fastlane to publish stuff to Behance would save a lot of time and help share throughout the day when working on sharable stuff.
If possible, an image or video that helps us understand your feature request
I added a screenshot of the separation-part that Instagram does for Stories…
1 voteThanks for posting this suggestion! You can already currently post a shared prototype as an embedded link to Behance. Does this address your request?

Grid Component Hover relation
I have a component with the hover state that is repeated within the grid. I repeated the first element several times, then I want to have different texts and images in each element. I expect that the change inside of each instance will NOT be repeated in other instances of this component within the grid - unfortunately this is not the case.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! I think what you’re actually looking for is not a repeat grid, but actually a series of components grouped into a stack. That way, it can grow and shrink with the size of the components in the stack instead of being fixed in width like the repeat grid. Does that work for you?

Proportional Responsive Resize
A proportional change of blocks is very often used on sites. It will be great if you add this feature.
The spaces that can be created between blocks when changing the width of the artboard can be removed by linking the upper blocks to the lower blocks.
You can also implement the zoom function.
texts and icons when changing the width of the artboard.1 voteThanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, I’m having a difficult time understanding what you’re asking for. We do have both responsive resize in multiple directions as well as Stacks to maintain spacing between different parts of a group. Can you please clarify?

Text selection highlight color on Windows should invert
When selecting text (via drag selection or double clicking a word), it will display the blue highlight boundary. There are some UI kits that use this blue as part of their wireframing palette making it impossible to see the text highlight when you have text on top of this color.
Ideally, the selection highlight should just invert the color underneath it so you can always see the boundary.
1 voteWe currently reflect the system selection color, which you can configure and change through the operating system. If I read you correctly, you’d like for XD to ignore that and just invert from the current color?

Alexa Preview plugin - screen dimension selection
ADOBE XD v 21.2.12.3 does not preview to "Amazon Echo Show 5" properly. I keep getting black bars on either side of my layouts regardless of what size I set up my artboards. The internet says the Show 5 screen dimensions are 960x480, but XD won't do that. Any workarounds?
1 voteHave you tried creating a custom artboard? You can press A in Design Mode to create a new artboard (either draw or click and change the artboard), or set the Custom Artboard field in the Start screen.

Horizontal-only-scale drag handle on short elements like text fields
This small but frustrating issue has been such a common recurring problem for me. See attached. I know if I made the field much taller, the horizonal drag/scale handle would appear, but text fields are always short, I'm always tweaking the length, and it seems like there's room to fit the handle. Why not have it?
1 voteYou can zoom in a little bit to get the middle handle to show up. Basically, we end up in a situation where the circles overlap, and you can’t easily figure which handle you’re pulling. Let us know if this addresses your issue!
