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

Need this for SVG exports. For now copy paste in AI en export from there.

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
