Align to key object
One of the most convenient alignment features in illustrator is the 'align to key object', which Sketch doesn't support, making it difficult to align objects quickly. Please add that feature for XD.

Aligning to first selected is a simple solution, which used to help me a lot on Axure, and could be really useful for XD.
The first selected object could act as the key object for alignment, avoiding the extra step of pointing it explicitly.
I attached 2 small videos to compare Axure and XD on this feature.

Axure solves it at its simplest - fist selected is the key.

Absolutely crucial for XD! Thank you for considering this feature.

It would be great if Xd had the same align options as Illustrator where we can align to key objects, distribution spacing etc., as digvijay sad.
It is basic!!

Yes please! This seems like a no-brainer to have on Adobe XD

I think it would be helpful to allow for arrangement and spacing of elements to be defined by a specific value or related to a specific element; similar to the feature in Illustrator.

There is a plugin in for this which does this, but when I compare the speed of doing this in illustrator using keyboard shortcuts and using a plugin there's quite a difference.

OMG why has no interactive design/prototype tool implemented this? Such a great feature of Illustrator.

Yes please. This is one of my most used features in Illustrator and I'm kind of surprised that it's not a part of Xd. You don't always align everything at the same time. I usually align everything as I go, so wanting to add object #26 to a group of objects that are already aligned, I obviously don't want that 26th object to move all the other already aligned objects.

For the moment we will have to settle for the Singari complement. It does this but does not highlight the option on which it does the alignment and is missing icons that helps you to recognize the alignment, but it gets you out of trouble quite well.

The ability to select two objects and then highlight which of them to align the other to is such a great feature in indesign and illustrator. Please implement here.
