Trigger interactions on mouse down / touch down / press (instead of click / mouse up)
Use (or have the option to use) a mouse-down (or touch-down) input to trigger changes instead of a full click (down+up).
When doing usability testing it's possible a user might try to click and drag something. Unnecessary confusion may result when the system doesn't respond at all (because a full click is necessary to trigger a change). If we could respond to the initial -press- or mouse-down we could provide an immediate response at the time the gesture begins, mitigating confusion.
Of course drag-and-drop would be super ideal, but the ability to respond to a press response would allow us to cope with this and other gesture limitations.

Print option in the design specs
It would be a great idea if there is an option to print the design specs on paper. Just like the option in Adobe Illustrator to print crop marks, in design specs we can create marks & regions of elements used it.

Links Panel (images)
Is it possible to use the same 'Links' window from InDesign as a feature in XD?
Example: I am working on a website for a client with multiple artboards and lots of images. I need full control and understanding of the output resolution of each image and also it's file name and location (when not working from images in CC libraries). There are some watermaked stock images and I will need to go through them, download and relink on approval - then export each asset.
Having the Links panel integrated into XD from InDesign would be a massive help and would make life a lot easier when moving from initial concept through to deign approval / development.
Also - bundle the 'Asset Export' option from Illustrator into the links panel and you then have full control of all your image assets, all in one panel.

Merge character styles / colors
It would be great if it was possible to merge styles or characters. For example if I have a font style in the same weight, but in slightly different colors, it would be great to have the possibility to merge these two into one style, without having to relink the existing text boxes. Same would go for colors.

Reorder objects within a repeat grid in the layers panel
When designing complex widgets that are reproduced as repeat grids I oftentimes need to rearrange the z-order contained layers within the repeat grid.
Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. If this is not supported as a feature the interface should indicate so. Now the contained layers look like regular layers outside a grid, but behave otherwise.24 votes -
Turn off cursor changes when hotspots are off.
Hot spots can be turned off by adding "?hints=off" to the URL of your web prototype.
If hints are off, we should also turn off changes to the cursor when someone hovers over a hotspot.
This would be useful for user testing.
Please vote if you want this implemented. Or, leave comments below on why we shouldn't do this!

Export Illustrator file
A client is requesting to have assets in Illustrator format. Basically, I want to be able to export from XD as an Illustrator file with the options to save images as linked or embedded. This is similar to the SVG export option, except that SVG I think has a file size limit of about 15 MB. When I export as an SVG at a large size, XD fails. Exporting as Illustrator with supported text boxes (not breaking them into individual text lines and not outlining the text either. Just easy and editable from XD to Illustrator. XD export as SVG with linked files doesn't fully work properly as it is now. I am having to rebuild files when I open them in Illustrator. Thanks!

24 votesHi,
I would like to understand more about the limitation of the export as SVG as i am not aware of any limit. Are you talking about a limit in the application that consumes the SVG, like a browser or Illustrator?
In general, if you choose to export with embedded images, the size of SVG will become large and it will be hard to process it in other application.
Cheers,

Snap text box height to line spacing value
Add an option to turn on line spacing snap for text boxes. This would make it easier to have consistent padding above/under text boxes no matter how many lines of text are in it.

Pasting images/artwork into shapes (ie: Like InDesign)
Currently in XD you have to mask images with a shape, which takes extra steps to accomplish. Being able to paste images or artwork into shapes similar to InDesign is much faster workflow and only requires a single step when working on the canvas.
(Currently using Windows Beta Version: 0.6.8.6)

Improved SVG export for width, height, and color
SVG export should emulate Sketch's exporting SVG code (with accompanying height and width attributes included natively). Not as it currently does without height and width. This should also be changed in Illustrator too.
- Set height
- Set width
- Address color shift
24 votesI’ve updated this idea with the specific callouts for height/width support and addressing the color shift. It’s possible we might need to split this story up in the future, but I’m leaving it this way for now.

Restrict to designing purely with CSS styles/properties, match browser's rendering appearance
As has been noted for this to be a good web app it will need to fully embrace css and render it accurately.
However some display capabilities would inevitably require special markup, complex css constructs, javascript etc... in development that would be beyond the scope of this program if this is to remain a pure design app.
Therefore it would be useful to tag objects or artboards to display in strict mode - exactly according to css properties - or to display in lets say design mode to allow freeform placement of objects which would require additional markup in development to work properly.

Escape button consistency
When I type in a text box on the artboard and I hit escape it keeps the text I just changed and takes me out of editing mode with the cursor.
When I type in a layer to change the name of it and I hit escape it removes the changes I just made and take me out of editing mode with the cursor. To effectively keep the changes I must hit return on the keyboard.
If I hit return on the keyboard while editing a text box on the artboard I get what I would expect -- a carriage return.
It would be great if while editing a name of a layer and I hit escape or return it would keep the changes. I find that I am often duplicating items changing text and changing layer names and having to mentally switch back and forth from remembering to hit return or escape is a point of frustration.

Control symbol overrides from property inspector
Right now, it is hard to manage overrides. Please can we have it on the right hand menu when selecting a symbol so we can override from there?

Exported artboard file name
When exporting "single" selected artboard, I would like to have a control over the exported artbard file name.
Now, each time I am exporting new artboard version, I am forced to create a separate folder.
I also export the same artboard few times in a row to present some idea but with different visibility of individual artboard element. Creating folder each time for such export is a nightmare.

Disable resizing font size when resizing group
Currently, when we have a group containing a text element and a rectangle (e.g. for a button), when resizing the group to make it smaller, the font size changes. It would be good to have an option to disable this behavior, because often we want to make a group smaller, because the button should be smaller, but not change the font size.

Layout grid - set gutter width, margins, and column width independently
Editing gutter width automatically changes my margins to adjust to account for the static column size and changing gutter size. A similar thing happens when changing the column size. Other fields are getting auto set to some value when I don't want them to change. This means I'm not able to get the correct grid size at all.
It would be nice to set each one independently or have an option to lock in some values so I can eventually get the correct sized grid.

Multiple Layout Grids per Object / Artboard / Document
Right now the layout grid is very basic and solves just a very basic scenario. But with complex and large websites / apps that have nested column layouts it's to simple.
Taking Bootstrap 4 as a reference that allow you to create rows which also contain N amount of columns, it would be a massive help to be sure that this behaviour could be reproduced.

Drag object into symbol definition in the layers panel
Being able to add items to a symbol would not only speed up production time, but would also prevent the scenario where existing symbols (and their overrides) must be manually replaced if the user wants to add an object to a symbol.
If there is a way to do it, it is not intuitive. I can delete, move, and restyle items within a symbol. But if I try to drag another item into the symbol (say, another symbol such as a newly created button), it doesn’t work. XD shows a block icon (⦸) where the dragged insertion point should be. This means I have to recreate the symbol, but that breaks all the other instances of the symbol in the sense that now I have to replicate my new symbol to all of those, deleting the existing ones (and their overrides) in the process.

23 votesYou can currently add an object to a symbol by cutting, selecting an object inside the symbol, and then pasting. You can also enter and exit group edit context really quickly by double clicking on a symbol or group. However, you’re right in that you currently can’t drag directly into a symbol. I’ll repurpose this request to focus on that behavior.
