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.

Please! I can't for the life of me figure out the alignment behavior. It seems to be random.

How is this soo far down the vote list!? This is one of the first things I noticed that Xd needed. Align in general is a bit shaky in Xd. I would like to be able to align to key object & page without making a box that spans the width of the page/desired align area.

Yes I can set X and Y position, what I am talking about the "origin" as @sylvester Aryee is mentioned. Currently the X position always starts from top left. There is no way to change that. -

Yh, x and y coordinates already exist however the ability to select the 'origin' is missing. And a HUGE +1 for Key Object Alignment.

But you can already set x and y positions right? And there are alignment tools as well, agree that aligning to key would be a nice addition.

Those who have worked with adobe illustrator would miss those great features for aligning the objects, defining the x,y positions etc. After using illustrator for years I find most of the UX tools like sketch and Xd have very limited tools making a good layout. I think adding those features would improve really improve the existing work flow.
