Dotted and dashed line/border styles
Need line/border styling as dotted and dash
413 votesWe have started working on this.
The way we are thinking about this is to have 2 fields:
- Dash
- Gap
This enables dashed and dotted lines.Let us know if you need more fields. For the reference: AI has 6. Our goal is to keep the things simpler.

Built-in Library of Common UI Elements
It would be great if AdobeXD could provide sort of a library of UIElements from iOS, OSX, Android and Windows besides the given UIKits. So you can simply drag e.g. the textfield to your artboard and adjust this afterwards. This would make the process of designing an app much more easier!

Creative Cloud Library Support (share symbols/assets across multiple files or team)
This would make it easier to use the assets created in other Adobe applications.
547 votesWe’re excited to announce that we’re now actively working on supporting Creative Cloud Libraries in XD! This is a pretty major feature for us, so it’s going to take quite some time to actually bring it to the public beta. Stay tuned for more information. We want to point out our vision for Libraries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn_9u1qtQ8s&t=1511s (see around minute 21).

Design with Data
I remember, I have seen this presentation at Adobe MAX 2015. Where we can use dummy / Sample data for content such as Name, city, country etc (Please also think to add lorem ipsum dummy paragraph if possible).
I would love to know, is there any plan to integrate that concept in near future. Its a really great functionality and time consuming important feature for us.

Layout Grid (Columns, Rows, Margins, Gutter)
Have an ability to display a grid/guides mainly for web design use cases.
1,960 votesWe’ve tried to keep it under wraps, but we’re currently working on the early steps of getting this feature working. Please be patient with us and be on the lookout for some upcoming research opportunities!
Thanks,

Artboard Overlays (sidebar / menu / popup) in interactive prototypes
Hi there, currently the only interaction is a page switch with some easing functions, but when you click a button, it would be nice that you van select a artboard that you can use as a "overlay" over another artboard. So that way you can create lightboxes in your protytype.

Revision Control
It would be nice if there was a way to have multiple versions of a design living in one document. Right now we'll have a v1 wireframe and will be reviewing features for v2. I typically lock that version and then create a new file called v2 and start making changes. Would be nice if they could be linked somehow verses multiple file versions.
85 votesWe’re working on a visual versioning system for XD documents. You could see a preview here: https://youtu.be/pf35qphKOWE?t=1h7m51s

Scrollable Area (not scrolling whole artboard)
Define a scrollable area within an artboard
This provides real-world app use cases, such as a table, slideshow, or iOS dropdown lists.

Share prototype with customers so that they can view on their mobile devices
First of all: I LOVE XD! Thanks for this great software!
My issue is, that sharing the prototype on the web is nice, but our customers request to see the prototype on their mobile devices - but not with the online link, because they can't see the complete screen without scrolling and that looks not like an app more than a webpage.
Now the only possibility is to download the xd app, login or register and connect the mobile device with the computer, where the file is open. How can our customer see and test the prototype in the same…

Copy from XD & paste into Illustrator (or Photoshop)
For any given vector pieces, to be able to copy from XD and cut to illustrator. We can do it in the other way for now, but it would be great if it could work the other way too.
To rework an icon for example, or trick an object with more advanced tools like in illustrator. Why ? It's faster than to export to svg and export it back again. It would also allow to keep your objects scaled the same way.
204 votesWhen Creative Cloud support lands, you would be able to save assets to your CC Library (e.g. vectors, bitmaps), and open them in different tools (e.g. vectors in Illustrator, bitmaps in Photoshop), then save it back to your Library, updating all instances where they’re being used. Would that help your use case?

Auto Save (in case of system crash)
Auto save take away the worry of saving and losing data.
305 votesWe’re actively working on an auto save feature for XD, but it’s a hugely complicated feature that will take some time to deliver. Please do save often in the interim!

InDesign integration
Would like XD to work with InDesign in much the same manner that AI and PSD files do. This might be more of a feature request for InDesign however I imagine they both play a role in working together.
Ultimately, in order for a design to be implemented correctly, we need to provide a detailed UI specification for engineering. This specification is often worked on by interaction and visual designers which is part of what makes InDesign an ideal solution for us.
The prototyping functionality is great for communicating how a design could work, but we still need an accompanying…

Import all SVG exported from Illustrator, for compatibility
In V1, it's clear that support for AI and PS files will be minimal. But please support SVG files. As of now, SVG files don't even appear and if they do, only parts of them are seen.
With SVG support, I can export all my AI artwork to SVG and import that into XD without losing any styles. This will be a great temporary fix while you work on supporting AI files. Please make this happen for V1.

Pen and touch support in windows 10
Currently it's not possible at all to work with Experience Design using touch or pen input on Windows 10. Please improve that.
105 votesFrom our release blog post
> We have ambitious plans to offer full support for touch devices and pen input in XD. While we have made progress in this area, we are not ready yet to make those capabilities available in our public beta releases. Once we’ve delivered the core XD feature set for designing, prototyping and sharing user experiences, then we’ll enable touch and pen features for the Microsoft Surface family of products and other touch-enabled devices.

Inside/outside/center position of stroke/border
Ability to change the stroke from inside/outside/center
227 votesI have split bunch of other things from this suggestion and made this only about inside/outside/center stroke/border.
So quick update, we have started working on inside/outside/center strokes/borders for any path.

More default animations and easings
It would be great with a few more features/interactive animations when you link the pages. More easing options. I guess what I'm saying I would like to have more animations and effects based on what we have on websites and apps to this date.

Wifi connectivity for XD app (not connecting only by USB cable)
Instead of being able to connect only by a USB cable, the ability to connect via wifi. Any roadmap for this would be useful to know.
198 votesWe started the work on Real-Time Previews via WiFi. It’s planned to land in 2017.

copy paste styles
Ability to copy an object's style and paste it to others
159 votesWe’ve begun work on copying and pasting styles from one object to another!

Paste in viewport
When pasting an object into an artboard, by default it is pasted "in place" (i.e. at the same position as the artboard it was copied from). In most instances, this is very useful. However, in some cases it's not the desired behaviour. Particularly when working while zoomed into large artboards, it can be hard to find the pasted object.
It would be useful to have a modifer key / alternative shortcut for pasting the contents of the clipboard into the centre of the current viewport (i.e. the default paste behaviour in other CS apps). This would be in line with…
31 votesWe’re working on making some changes to our paste behavior in the upcoming months. We’ll Email when this is available!
