Old school UXA chiming in here. Adobe needs to better address the fast paced needs of UX architects with this tool and look seriously at powerful tools for full resize of all grouped elements (including text). Allowing for an annotation layer with vectors allowed in the annotation layer. UX needs are not just a active hi fi prototype like it seems Adobe wants this tool to be, rather include a collection of the following:
- simple auto-spaced tree diagramming (see Omnigraffle... if not built here in XD, then allow for the tree structure of Muse page hierarchy XML export to be imported here in XD or linked for a real structural planning diagram... sorry illustrator is just not the place to do such a thing either).
- allow for basic variables like page number and date... you are already have the numbering in the artboards... just make it more organized... Allow XD to function as a exported PDF presentation - so it can work as either proto or preso.
- add one simple embedded interactive PDf logic (object trigger to page linking). Forcing all users to go get the Adobe app just does not work in large locked institutional orgs. Muse is nt the only tool you need for simple link logic.
- Don't treat the PDF export as a afterthought.... get PDF export right and you will see a dramatic adoption of this product.
- allow for simple guides and grids.
- the order of exported artboards needs to be more logical - seems to through off the intended sequence of exported boards
- In the case of adding automatic diagram logic... Go further than Omnigraffle and be kind enough to allow for structured & copied excel or google spreadsheet to be pasted into a diagram structure in XD or into Muse and give UX'ers system level execution rendering power... Think of it as small scaled system for UX pros (there if you need it).
- allow of artboard naming and allow for that to be a simple variable that can be used to auto list out a simple TOC and or just provide a simple TOC list object in a bolierplate preso symbol set.
- Allow for spellcheck
- allow for fast built in greeking
- make the symbol panel local or universal in simple single symbol external file and allow simple variables in a symbol
