    Please give a update Adobe - only work around is using drop shadow for single side borders with 0 blur

    I started as a developer but do more design work now, and I was shocked to see that applying a border/stroke to one side of a rectangle isn't something that I can do in XD. This is something that I used all the time as a developer.

    Adobe, as you know many of your users are using XD to create layouts and experiences for web-based products like websites and weapps. Creating a single-sided border is probably the most generic and basic web functionality that there is. Please fix this ASAP. It is unbelievable that this basic feature has not been implemented yet after so many years since the original request. What do you think is more - the number of clients who would want to use some complicated feature or the number of clients who would love to set their right-hand borders to grey while still having the ability to define a shadow on that same rectangle?

    @Adobe can you update us on this request? Are you seeing it? Are you considering it? Is it in your backlog? Is it in development?

    Adobe XD 32.0 just released and included keyboard shortcut improvements for toggling between Design/Prototype/Share - a request originally completed in the April 2016 release: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/13090818-keyboard-shortcut-to-switch-between-design-and-pro. This request has had no movement, yet it has 600 times the votes (1200 compared to 2) and both requests were added a few days apart.

    I won't pretend to know your backlog and I certainly can't speak for everyone, but wouldn't it be more prudent to focus on the basics your users are requesting most, rather than releasing low priority features/improvements just to meet a release schedule? I'm sure those of us that put our eggs in the XD basket and are paying for Adobe CC, would be grateful to see these highly requested features prioritized and brought to the top of your backlog.

    Acknowledging that you're monitoring this request would be a great first step. Cheers

    Really? 4 years and nothing on this? I'm evaluating XD and I've been able to do this for-EVER in UXPin.
    Deal breaker along with the inability to change states on multiple objects with one click/tap/hover.

    The more I read through the XD shortcomings with all the requests for basic functionality to build good UI/UX it's becoming more clear its not ready for primetime. Sad too, as I had hopes for XD.

    Here is a quick idea of how this tool could be implemented. Have another group right below endcap and allow the user to select which borders/strokes they want to be applied to the rectangle. When selected they will be highlighted in blue.

    such a basic need for a tool like this... poor Adobe....

    I'm new to XD and was quite surprised that this option wasn't available. It seems like such a basic need for a tool like this...

  • Henrique Portela commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is a deal breaker. This feature is to basic to not be in the software. I will start to look for another tool... Maybe figma...

    Someone asked for this in 2016--here we are in 2020 and it doesn't exist. I'm starting to think that XD was only meant for people to design stuff for dribbble and not for real-life product design and developer handoff

  • Aleksandr commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The absence of things like that are so annoying... I want to settle with XD, but I can't.

  • Sergio Quan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    YES! Very much needed. maybe an option like rounded corners but for borders, if XD is for web layout, basic CSS styles attributes should be supported
