1. Arrange Artboards into a grid (like in Illustrator)

   Sorry if this request is already listed. Could not find it listed amongst the requests.

   I absolutely LOVE how you can rearrange your artboards in Illustrator, and even adjust the layout order, columns or spacing between artboards (See attached screenshot).

   It really neatens up the workspace, and it makes use of the artboard 'alpha number' instead of the artboards name when rearranging (allowing me to name my artboards whatever I like).

   Would love to have a 'sorting' feature like that in Adobe XD please!

3. Gradient Shortcut: make it faster to add a gradient fill

   Alright, here's some feedback.

   Thanks for adding linear gradients -- an essential part of UI design. The functionality of actually using them is great, but there are a few things you could do to help speed up the process of activating the tool in the first place.

   Right now, it takes a minimum of three clicks to start using the gradient tool. That might not sound like a lot, but over the course of an hour, day, month, it adds up to a significant portion of time. Here are some base-level suggestions to improve the UX of this tool:

   1) Assign a keyboard shortcut. I suggest 'G' since it's logical, used for other Adobe software and isn't being used by anything else to my knowledge.

   2) Add it to the property inspector, or add it as a tool to be selected (I much prefer the first option). Either way, burying it within the 'Fill' menu seems odd given how important of a tool it is. It's definitely going to be used more than Shadow, yet that gets a headline spot and gradient doesn't? No way, man!

   3) If the plan is to keep gradients within the contextual Fill section, then I'd suggest that you have it as a tab option rather than the dropdown it is now. That saves a whole click and avoids miss-clicking once activating the dropdown (micro-frustration).

   More feedback as I use the tool more will potentially follow.

4. Auto resize image to 50% if copied and pasted from a high density screen

   I'm working on a MAC BookPro with high density display. When I redesign existing apps, I take screenshots of small parts of my screen and paste them in XD. Then I recreate the components, icons... using the vector tools.
   When I work with a HD screen, I paste the screenshots and they are scaled 200% (because the OS captures twice more pixels). But it's not relevant in XD, I have to scale it down 50% to get accurate dimensions. I'd prefer XD to detect the screen density and scale it down if needed.

6. Define aspect pixel ratio (support non-square pixels)

   Some LCD pixels are non-square shape. For example, displays for industrial devices. In this case, the aspect ratio of the pixel remains close to square -- usually the difference between horizontal and vertical does not exceed 10%.

   But nevertheless, the distortion of the elements due to this distinction can sometimes be seen on the display destination (target) device.

   Propose to add the sizes for non-square pixels, and the simulation display similar to pixels on a computer screen of the designer (whose pixels are square) to display on the screen the designer was the same as it is on the screen with non-square pixels (otherwise, the designer will see, for example, a rectangle instead of a square, however, on the target device will display the square).

8. Force a path into a shape so you can edit it like a shape.

   It would be be nice if there was a right-click option like "force path to shape." Paths do not have the edit options that shapes do.

   For example, when I take a rectangle and change the edges or add new corners, XD automatically changes this to a "path." I've done this both intentionally and accidentally.

   If I want to change this shape back to a rectangle so that I can edit the border radius, I have to redraw and restyle that shape from scratch. It would be really cool if Xd could identify the closest shape and force into that shape, giving you the edit options associated with that shape.

9. Variable / no padding on one of the sides

   The padding tool is great, but for some cases, it would be great to have a possibility to leave it undefined. Example: I have a component that has a background and a text in it. I want to use it in a way that the background will take all the available space on the right of the text, regardless of the length of the text inside. Now I will not be able to do it otherwise than manually adjust the padding for each instance of this component.

10. Nested component instances should update when its main component is resized

    1. Why components inside of another component are not changing immediately? When I have component inside of a group and I change the master component, those components inside of a group are changing immediately. But when i convert the group to component, I have to right-click every component inside that component and apply changes.

    Is there a way to at least apply those changes to whole document? Or why it is not changing immediately?

    1. If I have hundreds of child components inside of another component I would have to right-click all of them to apply changes from master component.
       It would saved us a lifetime.

11. Libraries increase the design file size

    When I use a library file its MBs get added to every of the design files I use. And if I nest a library in another one e.g. I have some patterns that combine multiple component libraries, the pattern library becomes huge, slow, and impractical to use. Why is it that libraries have to be "copied" and their size added to that of the design file. There must be a more optimal way to handle libraries.

    Thanks for reaching out. Since you asked, libraries are sync’d into your document in order to enable you to work while disconnected. That being said, we’re looking at alternate ways of sync’ing linked assets, so I’ll keep this open.

12. Turn on grids separately for each artboard

    I'm a new user who just started a UX/UI bootcamp, and unfortunately (or fortunately) the video guides are already outdated. One thing I found very strange is that in the older versions you could have an individual grid layout for each art board, but now it looks like it's all or nothing, though it seems you still can individually change the square or or column variables of each grid overlay on each artboard separately.

    This makes no sense. Say that I'm building a UI for for mobile and website, they would definitely be using a different grid overlay types and since the size, resolution, and type of screen is different, but currently it forces you to use the same grid overlay across all artboards. I would love to see the ability to select individual grid overlays for unique artboards in the project.

    Current scenario:

    1. phone artboard
    2. web artboard

    turns on grid
    * both boards use either column or square grid overlays.

    Wanted scenario:

    1. phone artboard
    2. web artboard

    turns on grid
    * phone artboard is set to square grid overlay.
    *** web artboard is set to column grid overlay.

    Thanks for the clarification! This makes sense, and I’ve edited the title to reflect your request.

13. Copy and Paste at the same place as selected element.

    It would be great if we could copy an element, select an object on a new artboard, press cmd+shift+v and the copied element gets pasted at the same place as the element selected on a new or the same artboard.

14. Feature Request: Intuitive Workflow Color Picker hotkey access for STROKE and Fill

    I would like to be able to: create a shape -> hit i -> pick a color from source x ; hit (modifier key) e.g. shift + i -> pick stroke color. I see it as intuitive workflow as you could accomplish a repetitive task on one keyboard-sequence instead of actual use case: create a shape -> hit i -> pick a color from source x ; stop - defocus - find pointer - move pointer to right sidebar - find stroke field - find and click on eyedropper icon - find color source and move pointer to color source -> tap/click. Guess its Fitts Law... and its important, as it would speed up workflow process without distractive interruption.

    BTW: With the same modifier key pressed, you could apply color to the stroke. Right now, any click on a color palette affects only the fill.

15. Customizable bullet shapes (NOT simple bullet text)

    Hanging bullets should be supported, but customizable bullets (ie. for branded icons) would set XD apart even more.

    This is usually achieved in InDesign as anchored elements.

    I’ve adjusted this to focus on customizable bullets. Here’s the way for you to upvote simple bullets in text objects: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/16073923

16. Organize layers into folders in the layers panel without having to group them.

    It'd be great if you could organize your layers into folders without grouping them on the actual artboard. It'd make selection much easier. For example, in Photoshop you can put layers in the same folder but they aren't necessarily "linked" meaning that clicking on one item doesn't select the entire group.

    Currently the only way to organize your layers into folders is to physically group or link them on the actual artboard.

18. Automated Image Optimization on Import

    This feature request is perfectly in line with Adobe's push to "Accelerate your Work".

    Wouldn't it be great if you could drag 20 6MB images in your repeat grid, for example, and know that XD has done the awesome work of evaluating the placeholder dimensions and optimized the dimensions & dpi of your pasted images for optimal file size or image quality?

    If the user is pasting 25 images in a repeat grid that has a placeholder of 320px wide, it makes no sense that the imported images be at full resolution and dimensions behind the placeholder's mask.

    I'm suggesting two things:
    1. In the preferences pane, add a menu item for "imported images" and let users select if they want XD to optimize imported images for file size OR image quality on a slider.
    2. Create the back-end infrastructure to support intelligent image import optimization based on placeholder dimensions.

    This is valuable because I often source free-to-use high-res images for my prototypes. Today, I use a set of actions that I created in PS to optimize my images for XD because I don't want to import 400MB of images in my XD file, especially when I know they're just going to be used for thumbnails, for example.

19. Paste "in place" on multiple artboards outside the viewport

    The current way the paste functionality works is counterintuitive when pasting elements on multiple artboards.
    If I select multiple artboards, it's because I want to paste the same object in the same place on all artboards. Right now if an artboard is not in the viewport the object is not pasted, and if an artboard is partially visible the object is pasted in the center of the visible area.
    There should be a way (modifier key or global preference) that allows the user to control the paste behavior
