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.

Detect/search and standardize different styles
After a wild layout period I often have tons of different font-sizes, colors and so on … Now I have to reduce this for the developer. At this point it would be very helpful to let me show which colors+fonts+font-sizes+font-styles I have used in my project and where! If I know the place, I can decide to change a style to a common one.

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.

Placing multiple images like in indesign
It would be great if you could just drag multiple images into XD and place them one by one onto shapes (like in indesign)

Dragging and Dropping Outside Items into Repeat Grids Instead of Cutting and Pasting
After creating a repeat grid, if you have elements outside the grid that you want to add to the grid, it cannot be simply dropped into the Repeat Grid 'Group". You have to cut it and double click into the grid to paste it in.

Maintain scale when dragging symbol from panel
v 0.6.2.7
-when placing a symbol, the scale is not always correct, so I drag and drop from the symbols menu/bar, and sometimes the scale is ~70%.
So when I release, and "place" the symbol, it grows, and isn't placed correctly, requiring me to re-select, and then re-place the symbol. Not a huge problem, but feels like an inconsistent experience, buggy, and was probably just an oversight.
Symbols should always come off the menu bar @ 100% scale, so I only have to select and place it once.

Line Height and Font Size fields are too similar looking (easy to confuse/mistake for each other)
When I want to change the size of text, I keep changing the line height. Everytime! I think this part of the UI could do with a bit of a rework to address this.

Remove spaces from Artboard name when duplicating
When drag-copying dartboards to create new ones, a 'space-hypehn-space-number' is added to the name. These spaces carry over to the exported files. Obviously this is not good practice as spaces should be used in files intended for web use. Are you planning on removing these in a future update?

Design contradiction intelligence between devices & design approach
As a product manager, so far loving AXD & can't wait for few top feature requests like UI, Icon libraries etc. It has made prototyping so much faster.
I would recommend, if a Product manager or designer picks a certain design template such as iOS flat design or Android Material Design then recommend or suggest possible issues across web vs mobile design during design mode. For e.g. width or placement of a grid element that is responsive, recommend best practices in design mode based on the device selected.1 vote -
A "Notes" tab on desktop editor that functions like "Prototype"
A separate section next to Prototype that allows a complete comment/markup of the artboards by anyone with access. This feature would be something that looks and feels like Acrobat (a small dot that expands on hover or something. you can place the dot on the thing to comment on (like a thumb tack) and then place the comment on a "note" that can be moved and placed anywhere to keep it out of the way. A developer or anther UX can click/tab the "tack" and the comment/note pops up in it's placed location. All of this on another tab and…

Move prototyping tool outside of XD
Hello Support Team,
We really don't need the pack of the tool. We only simple and sweet UI Design tool. We never ever use prototyping. Or we use just simple linked prototyping. Nothing more than this.
Please don't make the software heavier. Keep it sweet and simple.
Thanks,
