  1. We want it to be easy to create a *.po language file directly from XD for developer. So it can be easily imported into code and be ready for translation tools.
    At the moment there is a possibility to get pdf for text but it is splittet in many pdf files. We need one pdf file to be able to extract text from that file.

  2. When I look across the forum I see many requests for features that by the look of this screen shot I found on the web are already there?Blend modes, custom colour picker, blur, outline, hex code entry, stroke alignment, device simulator. Could you tell us more about this please? Especially about the strip on the far right of the screen.

  3. I've been using this for a while now and I find it absolutely great! However there's a few things I wish it could do.

    1) Having a radial style gradient.

    2) Saving Gradients the same way colors are saved.

    3) Locking an image in the background and having the content scroll over it.

    4) Floating Menu's during prototype mode. So that the main header can scroll along with the page.

    Thank you for this great app. Keep up the good work

  4. Spend more time iterating and less time moving things around.

    Less manual resizing: Buttons can resize with their text and lists can rearrange themselves when items are moved around.

    Stretch to fill: Auto Layout components can now stretch left and right (or top and bottom) for easier responsive design.

    Design speaks development: Auto Layout’s padding, direction, and spacing settings translate directly into code, simplifying developer handoffs.

  5. There should be a way to see the name of an asset on the Canvas. Currently there is no way to know the name of any asset (or in the case of colors and text styles, if an asset has even been applied) with out locating the asset in the panel and selecting "highlight all on canvas". This is very inefficient. A simple tooltip hover or shortcut (like alt to display measurments) would simplify the process.

  6. Somehow the new CC Libraries are not thought through. There are two things which are really a problem in my opinion.

    First:
    When I publish a library I now have all components, styles and colors from XD in all applications. Which is ok for colors but what should I do with the styles and components in print for example? They are completely useless because I will define other styles and components in InDesign. So now the libraries are getting more and more filled up with elements you don't need.

    Second:
    I use always the same template for style guides. For…

  7. 1) My company is adamantly against allowing us use any tool to show intellectual property on the web, so I second the ideas to be able to export to a PDF. In order to use it for wire framing and prototyping purposes it would need to be a clickable/interactive PDF. The ability to pick and choose what we show would be helpful.

    2) Love the previewing and recording, however it'd be more multi-function if, when previewing, you could gray-out the background - or alternatively allow recording the artboard in full screen mode.

    3) Record Audio. Face would be awesome too,…

  9. Multiple tabs section Why does Photoshop and Illustrator have it but not XD? I am planning to switch again Figma or Sketch. So many bugs are pending in XD.
    1. Slice Tool not available for Assets.
    2. Multiple tabs can't Open at a time like Photoshop & Illustrator.
    3. For Fonts we can't apply Gradient Colors, only we can apply gradients with creating Path, but if will Path converting for Fonts developers can't visible Font Size & Font family details in Zeplin.

  10. I'm a web designer. This app is great for me to layout previews to their website without having to code it then make change which is a nightmare. Well done guys, you are changing the game!

    I'm wondering if it's possible if you could add animated features over images, which help liven up the design. Features like:

    • Parallax Scrolling
    • Zoom over hover
    • Saturation Effect over hover
    • Banner Changes (image rotation over a set timing)
    • Video Background Play
    • GIF support

    I hope this helps!

  11. I'm trying to figure out how to make apps/sites more user friendly for non-tech-savvy folk or first timers to an app/site.

    Each object (buttons, pics, arrows, etc..) could have a set of options to get user's attention before they even touch the screen. This would be very useful for drawing their attention to actions they need to take/choose from.

    For example,
    ..continuously grow and shrink ("breathe"), move or change between colors
    ..fade in when appear on screen
    ..slide in when appear on screen
    ..spin in on appear
    ...fade, slide or spin in after a few seconds on screen

    You can already do this with timed transitions! Select your entire home artboard in prototype mode, and then select the “Time” transition. Then select your transition type and select your next artboard. For more details: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-prototypes.html#Usetimedtransitions

    Also, CC Evangelist Howard Pinsky has created this resource for you, which will explain how timed transitions work: https://letsxd.com/videos/prototyping

    Hope that helps!

  12. Italian translation is so dumb I actually had to switch back to EN.
    IMO any italian designer would have told you that eg easing labels aren't something you wish to see translated as they reflect precise properties that you're already using (in CSS, JS etc).
    Also, "Pila" as a translation for "Stack" doesn't make any sense because it doesn't translate the 'ordering' concept behind "Stack" and also because in Italian "Pila" only represents a vertical column of objects and the word commonly refers to a stick (or stilo) battery.
    Please be sure to check the translations before the next update.…

  13. If I'm using the find/search feature to find an artboard, or to find some text on an artboard, it would be great if the search results allowed me to go straight to that found item and also to locate the artboard on the pasteboard. It's a partcilar issue when I have files with a large number of artboards.

    Currently, I get the search results, and whilst I can click and edit the properties of found items in the results, locating the item or even the artboard on which it is contained can be tricky. Some sort of 'Go to' context…

  14. Please look at this XD "Design Specs" file:
    https://xd.adobe.com/spec/37ccb941-8fd4-4a7f-6223-499948dc3fcb-41fd/

    The "L" shaped elements (colored RED and FUCHSIA in the file) cover and prevent the selection of and identification of the specs, of everything below them. Even though these "L" shaped elements are not closed shapes they cover everything below them (BTW, it's the same when there is a surrounding border that is above everything else, layer wise).

    Please, this must be corrected.

    The attached file was "Exported" to PDF.

  15. The attached screenshot has the "System" text on top of the box.

    CURRENTLY: I need to create a layer underneath to break the line and make the system on top of it. This is troublesome if I'm working with a page that has 10000-000000-00000 input fields.

    ASK: If i have a way to make the text' border 5, i can effectively eliminate the need to create a layer underneath, the amount of work is going to be halved, and that will scale.

    ASK2: if not, can i have a solid box to cover the line where the text will be…

  16. The addition of a few features to the right click menu in the assets panel would definitely improve productivity.

    1. Rename - The ability to right click and rename objects in the assets panel would greatly improve the ability to organize objects instead of the current method of navigating to list view and then renaming objects.

    2. Edit - The ability to right click and edit any asset (as is currently possible only with colors) would be extremely useful for assets that are used infrequently in large projects that would have to be found manually and changed on the canvas.

    3. Export -…

  17. I frequently (at least once/day) hit CMD-V when I'm reaching for CMD-B while editing text. If I have an object on my clipboard, XD inserts the raw SVG code into my text area. (OK, Maybe using my left hand for B is bad typing form, but I'm old and it's never going to change)

    This is especially annoying if the clipboard contents are large, as my system grinds to a halt for several seconds, preventing a quick CMD-Z.

    I can't think of a scenario when this behavior would be desirable. I get the value of copying SVG, but the paste…

  18. --- Idea ---
    For organizations maintaining a design system web site or document, it would be fantastic if users could "copy" a component (like a Button) from the documentation and paste it directly into XD.

    --- Why? ---
    This would save designers from having to browse or search the XD library separately, since they're already in the design system documentation.

    --- How? ---
    Perhaps XD could offer a new Export option for exporting in the same format used by copy-and-paste within XD? Then in a design system website, organizations could offer a "Copy XD Component" button that writes that same…

  19. Image attached, that same icon in XD (Left), and in Illustrator (Right). See how the same icon is different on each app?

    I've recently discovered knockout groups in Illustrator for making invisible gaps in objects to retain original object's properties and exact shape while also allowing stylized gaps between the shapes (hope I'm making sense). However, when I put this same object (and others like it) in the Libraries panel in Illustrator, and then drag it from the XD Libraries window onto the XD artboard, I realized that the invisible gaps are not present in XD. This screws up my…

  20. Hello,
    I understand the scope of this app is to collaborate with the "conceptually challenged" but two days into creating interactive digital signage with Xd and I'm hooked! one problem though... outputting something tangible to run on a touchscreen kiosk or information booth (offline).

    I am not a Java/HTML guy. I'm a "dyed in the wool" Video/motion GFX guy so having a tool that will allow me to deliver GUIs without coding creates a great new revenue stream. This tool is very close, just needs a tweak.

    While I'm asking...
    Scrolling regions of text. (I saw in another post you…
