Allow the option to default the selection tool to direct select
It would be great if we had an option of whatever we want to select group or specific layer via select tool default options. I guess it's much more frequently used to pick just one element instead of picking whole group.
So for me, for example, it would be much easier if by default it would be to just pick one emelement by click, rather then to press CMD all the time i want to change something inside of group.

Reference points to the vertical and horizontal centers when editing a path
When I'm distorting a shape (say a rectangle) into another shape (say a trapezoid), I'd like to know see reference guide to the vertical and horizontal centers, so I know how far to move the distortion points.

Import based on HEX value
Shortcut for color picker and import of hex directly to color library.
First off, great tool you have created so far. Secondly I wanted to propose to have shortcuts for the color picker. I find the new version pretty great already, but what I am really missing is a shortcut, similar to that of photoshop, illustrator, indesign, …
My guess is that since you have 3 distinct colors to choose (fill, outline and gradient) this poses a problem. I was wondering, if you still can’t make a version, like that of PS. Press "i" to choose the tool (should be…1 voteI’ve changed this to focus on the idea of importing based on HEX value. We have a separate idea you can upvote for keyboard shortcuts: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/14746506

Install UI kit of the artboard type you're using
Can it be integrated with Adobe Sensei in future? That will surely automate few things for the end users
1) UI kits can be automatically downloaded and installed within XD. Suppose a user is working on the android artboard, he will get all the android related UI kits on the go.
2) Specific UI elements can be searched by name and instantly applied in the design system while working, it will surely save time when one had to find specific UI element in a huge document.
Think of a side panel of UI library integrated with Adobe Sensei doing all…

Add a right-hand handle to point text
It'd be nice to ALSO have a right-side handle for point text, with adjustment anchored to top + left.
The existing bottom handle that's anchored to top is a bit awkward for me.

Open/close panels by clicking on the edge of the panel
It would be nice to switch ON/OFF the assets layers panel by clicking the left edge of the XD window beside the current buttons.
I find myself switching the assets on / off depending on work size displayed on the monitor
( the opera browser has such edge )

Layout grid as asset
It would be great to have the possibility of adding a layout grid in the assets panel as any other style/symbol/color.
So we could easily apply a grid style to the home page, another to each detail page, another to the form page... with just one click.

Copy rich text from websites
When you copy text from a website, mimic the CSS too
When designing changes to existing websites, it would be amazing to be able to copy/paste text in and have it be the same size/colour as it was on the site.
I realise this might need a browser extension or something, but if you go down that route then actually being able to copy all kinds of elements from an existing website would be game changing.
An alternative to the extension on a live website route, would be saving a website and opening it in XD in an "import mode"…

Add numbers to the image selection from CC Library
When added images to the repeat grid from my CC Library, I'd like my selected images to have a number show the order I have selected them in. Since they will fill into my repeat grid in that order, I'd like to double check the order prior to dropping them over.

Color code artboards
color coating art boards. So settings pages are one color, profile pages are different color etc.
1 votePlease note that you can now group artboards by flows, which allows you to multi-select them and provides ways for you to organize them together. Learn more about this here: https://letsxd.com/videos/multiple-flows?rq=flows

Copy artboard using handles
To keep my design clean and tidy I always copy my existing artboard with all appearances to the next spot up/down/left or right from it. I alwas have to take into consideration my zoom then to make sure the snap will keep my distance the same as from other artboards, while this could be done without careing about the zoom, nor using alt + drag.
Part of the functionality already exist as when you copy paste exactly this wil happen, you cannot though nor choose the direction (always paste on the right from prev) nor change the distance.

Switch back to layers panel when selecting an element
After I've added a symbol from the symbols panel it would be a real timesaver if XD automatically switched back to the layers panel when selecting another element. This would remove the need to navigate to the bottom right of the window and switch the view.
From my experiences, users tend to drag a new symbol to their artboard then manipulate it or another element, very rarely navigating back to get another symbol.

RGB565 color spectrum support
Working on UI on embedded hardware, sometimes there are limitation about the colour spectrum that can be used.
Above all, the RGB565 (16bit total, that means 65.000 colurs) is very often used. Could be possible to implement this palette native in the software and also in the export options?1 vote -
Shortcut to adjust stroke width
I'd like to either have a scroll bar or +/- arrows to let me change the stroke without having to guess a number. Also, if I do change the value by typing a number, I'd like that result to be automatic, without me having to press enter to see if it fits my needs.

Embed color data in property inspector
Please expand the dat that the property inspector shows to include color codes, transparency percentage and the option to select (maybe even edit) this straight from the inspector screen instead of having to open every individual color box if you're specifying colors for a design.
Kind of goes hand in hand with earlier requested "blue print" modes to make it easier to share designs with developers.

Remove automatic highlighting from "HEX" box in color picker after a color is chosen from saved swatches
Right now, when you open up the color picker, the "HEX" box is highlighted. I get it, it's so you can manually type a value or copy the existing value easily.
However, once you have selected a new color from a saved swatch, I think the automatic highlighting of the hex should be removed. That way, you could close the color menu by pressing "V" and returning to the regular "move" tool. Right now, I constantly type "V" to try and close the picker, but I end up typing "V"s in the hex box instead.
Honestly, if there was an…

Horizontal-only-scale drag handle on short elements like text fields
This small but frustrating issue has been such a common recurring problem for me. See attached. I know if I made the field much taller, the horizonal drag/scale handle would appear, but text fields are always short, I'm always tweaking the length, and it seems like there's room to fit the handle. Why not have it?
1 voteYou can zoom in a little bit to get the middle handle to show up. Basically, we end up in a situation where the circles overlap, and you can’t easily figure which handle you’re pulling. Let us know if this addresses your issue!

Different icons to differentiate between point type and area type in layers panel
It may be helpful to see which text objects are point versus area at a glance in the layers panel.
Just a thought.
