more tolerance for selecting shapes when zoomed out
If you are zoomed out you hardly can select a small shape. Maybe you should adjust the selection tolerance depending on the zoom.

Move... Command
I think it would be extremely convenient and natural to have a Move... command for objects, exactly like the Object > Transform> Move... command in Illustrator and Indesign. I use that command A LOT in those programs and wish it was available in Experience Design.

Embed Controls from External Control packages
For many of my clients with web based projects we'll use several control suites such as Telerik Kendo UI, DevExpress DevExtreme, jQuery UI, Bootstrap, or Infragistic controls. It would be stellar if we could import the control packages based on the provided JS and CSS in order to make use of those controls out of the box. An example of why this would be great is many of the controls in these suites might not be possible at all with XD... a progress bar, timer, data grid... but they're needed at times to display crucial UI elements.

Built-in Type Scales
I would love to see type scales (type-scale.com) built in to the forthcoming(?) Style Guide. A quick way to set a base size, and establish your heading sizes/line heights.

Unify scaling of text boxes and areas
To create this a demonstration of this needed function, do the following:
Group select a text field with some text in and a text area with some text in, now scale them together. The text field scales as expected but the text area doesn't.
When creating responsive layouts we need to scale elements collectively, this breaks that workflow. Can you please make them both scale together to ease the workflow overhead.
Thanks

Moodboard (split window which can appear and disappear)
While designing I have a lot of stuff I look at in my finder as inspiration. How about getting a feature by which I can just tap a button to view a window which presents me with all the different things I collected together for inspiration.

Draw swimming lanes on the canvas
Would it be possible to create 'swimming lanes' in order to visualize on which level a certain part of the flow/design operates? I've added a simple visualisation of it, just to illustrate the idea.

Snap to elements in other artboards (don't limit smart guides to current artboard)
When updating few artboards that have same element positioning it would be could to be able to align elements using smart guides with elements that are on other artboard than the one working on.

Visible preview of invisible object (no opacity or fill) when dragging / moving / resizing
If an object's opacity is set to zero and you then 'alt-drag' it, there's no preview of the new object's edges, so you can't see what you're alt-dragging. Illustrator solved this by using the object's 'Outline mode' preview when alt-dragging.
6 votesResize/move feedback for invisible shapes definitely could be improved, and we are tracking that issue. As a workaround, you can toggle the fill or stroke on for a moment, adjust the shape, and then toggle it back off.
If you’re using an invisible rectangle to define a hit area for Prototyping mode, you may also be interested in upvoting https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/12931899-actual-hotspots, which would let you more easily define interaction hotspots that don’t match up exactly with the size & shape of any of your visible artwork.

View layout both as artboards and as continuous scrolling pages
Option for choosing different design visualization: artboards (as it is now) and scrolling pages like InDesign.

Show overall total width/height of multi-selected objects
Measurements in the PI for multi-selected objects (show width/height of overall selection)
When selecting multiple objects, XD doesn't show width/height of combined elements! It only shows it when objects are grouped. This is valuable because I can see the quick measurements of, for example; grouped images that spread for 12 columns. That way I can eliminate possible measurements errors.

Single-click selects objects inside the currently selected group - without need to double-click / hold Cmd
Hi!
I know I can directly select a non-group object no matter how deeply grouped it is by Command-clicking it. But if I want to select a group that's grouped multiple levels deep, I'm forced to double-click my way down until I reach it.
Double-clicking multiple times in a row has annoying feel of excess effort and sluggishness, probably because the minimum elapsed time the OS needs between double-clicks in order to recognize them as separate events is way too long.
In other products I use (OmniGraffle, Axure), single-clicking an object or a group that's one level down within an…

Create default guides for all artboards
I always use the same basic guides in my designs (for distance from the edge of the screen) and i have to maually add those to all screens.
While they can be copy-pasted with the entire screen, i dont always wanna copy a screen i already designed - for multiple reasons.
The ability to create fixed guides for a document that can be manually added to would be much apprechiated5 votes -
Choose any state to be component's default state.
I have built a component library for my teammates to use in their projects. Most components have multiple states for hover, action, etc. What I would like to add is another state that displays the components in a lo-fi style to make prototyping faster. I would like to have the lo-fi as the default state for all of the components since that would be more commonly used by the team, and then as the details are worked out they can switch the state to the actual components to put details in.
There's no way to create a state and then…

Option for side scrolling on artboards
At the moment, artboards can only be set to have vertical scrolling or no scrolling at all - it would be great to have the option to have horizontal scrolling for the entire artboard, as to better facilitate designs for side-scrolling websites.
5 votesI’ll leave this one open, but you can already do side scroll via a group in an artboard. You can set a scroll area on a wide group, and set the scroll mask to the width of your artboard.

Design System Versioning
We work in a micro-service architecture where all apps don't use the current version of the design system. It would be great to select the version of the system that reflects the app/environment we're designing for.

quick access to local document assets in the new library panel
Asset panel had been always just one click (or shortcut) away. With XD 34, after a click, you need to see what's there, then navigate through the panel if document assets are not there. So there could be more cognitive load and extra steps for users.
Plus, it was possible to open both cc library (global assets) and asset panel (local assets) at the same time. Now you are forced to switch between local and remote assets when your task need both (or, graphics and components). Working with other design tools gets a little more fiddly because of this.
Finally,…

Add colors directly to asset panel
Colors. Why can't I add them straight up? I know all the colours i need to use? Why can't i just create them? Why do i need put something on an art board first? I am doing something wrong?
The asset management is strange. Figma does it better. Copy them.
