Change default fill and stroke settings (color, etc.) used when drawing new shapes
It's quite frustrating that every time I use the shape tools, I have to remove the stroke and change the fill.
Like in ID and AI, it would be useful if the object fill and stroke remembers the previous settings, or a default could be somehow set.

+1 infuriating. Also likely the reason I can't delete certain colors from the swatch palette that are not within a project but holding somewhere in space.

PLEASE FIX THIS. The default is literally the opposite of what you're going to do 99% of the time.

This is infuriating. I have to turn off the border every single time because I NEVER want this by default. Please turn this off by default so we can all star saving time and enjoying the software more.

A fix for this would be very welcome.
Can't remember ever having a shape that required both a stroke + fill by default… Most commonly unchecking the stroke box 99% of the time when drawing solids.

Some big features are missing, but this is one of these small things which could be picked up from AI and ID. I'm loosing time writing feature request to this small things which should be a given. Please do not force your clients/community to request this things … that's frustrating … This should be fixed in 2016, And now it's 2019 ………

Yeah, it is a bit annoying when I have to uncheck the stroke every time I use the shape tool. It will definitely be great if you guys change it so that we could just add the stroke when we need it, same as in illustrator. It will also be awesome if we could color pick the style of the stroke, like object styles. Keep up the good work guys. XD is definitely shaping up to be one of the best application out there.

Yeah, this seems pretty basic. I waste a lot of time unchecking stroke. Also, I wish there was an easier way to eye drop colors for the stroke color.

I can't believe this feature request has been around for 3 years and it's still "Feature-Under-Review"! This definitely needs to be implemented - where is the typical Preferences menu item that is available in most other Adobe products for things like setting defaults?

I can't believe this is still a thing. At a bare minimum, please remove the stroke as a default style option on every shape and change the fill to a shade of gray.

Please let us apply the default graphic style to new shapes.

This is especially curious given the text tool in XD already does have a "memory", and will continue making text boxes with the last used style. PLEASE apply this behavior to the shape tools!!

Yes give us a shortcut (keyboard) to let us change the default fill and stroke easily and definitely let us use RICH BLACK instead of 100K Black.
I have set my Preferences to Display All Blacks as Rich Black and Output all Blacks as Rich Black, I'm working already in RGB and still the default is white and 100K Black.
It's a waste of time. Can't wait for Adobe to show us they're cutting edge.

Remember and use the last settings for shape and fill. How is this not completely obvious? When would it ever make sense to default to some hard coded values? As it is, I have to change Fill Color, Border Color, and Border Size every single time I draw a shape. I spend way more time doing that than I do with my actual design. I love this tool and have been waiting several years for it, but like others have said, this is a major SHOW STOPPER.

How is this not a thing? For an app to build user experience the UX on this program is an atrocity.

Common adobe this takes way too long for such a simple setting, i am a full pro designer, and for EVERY goddamn object i draw, i need to set outline to 0 manually. This is such a time consumer every single day. Expected more from you guys. #adobeux
