Expand Stroke / Create Outlines (convert stroke to separate filled path)

In Illustrator, I can draw an object and then use Expand to convert the strokes to a fill.

I would like to be able to do this in XD

    Pleeeeeeeese!
    Everytime I need to export as SVG, open with Illustrator, create outline, and import back to XD.... It's sooooo annoying! 😫

    A must-have feature. XD is lacking many essential features comparing to Figma

    After being a heavy Figma user for years but needing to primarily use XD for work now, I can say with absolute certainty that XD is the worst prototyping tool I've ever used. I am constantly running into issues, questions, confusion, and missing capabilities that should be givens in a professional prototyping tool by this point in time. I look them up online only to realize that other people have also complained about the same things. Bottom line – Adobe XD is honestly a horrible design and prototyping software, particularly compared to Figma. I love Illustrator and Photoshop but heavens Adobe, XD is rough - borderline unusable - compared to Sketch and Figma.

    Posted in 2016 and still no resolution. Didn't realise how terrible adobe SVG exports are in general until now. Off to Figma I go.

    You are selling XD for Design System management, but yet, when I have to share load of icons with devs, I need to convert outline in path passing them all through Illustrator and back to XD. I get that you love to focus on more sexier features, but we use those 1% of the working time ...

    Just another thing that XD can't do yet majority of the competitors can. Why am I using XD again?

    Ok so seems like every post is directed back to this thread...

    A workaround for anyone who just needs to get the thing done: expand the stroke in illustrator, then copy paste it into XD.

    Sounds dumb, and maybe everyone already does this, but as a newbie to XD this literally took like a week of scouring the internet for solutions to click in my head.

    At least it works
