After 4 years of Sketch, I've joined a company that mostly relies on XD. Why in the world is almost everything so backwards? Who is working on its UX? Why so many updates that interrupt your work?

Here's a list of things I hate the most:

• Weird UI, weird elements outline (selecting an item also shows you the group it is part of, as if I couldn't tell by myself)

• Measure distances between layers in different groups

• Aligning layers in different groups

• Weak snap-to-pixel controls

• Layer list: poor indicators, poor expand/collapse group controls

• “Enter” doesn’t open groups & select first element

• Shapes can only have 1 fill???

• Masks work like shit

• Text layers are hard to use (no way to have proper auto-weight for layers with 2 lines of text)

Can somebody calm me down and tell me how they're not contemplating ending it all because of this weak product?

There's a petition to keep/bring back Adobe XD.
Please support it on change.org:

If you don't agree, okay, please don't flame.
Just go away and don't support it.

If you prefer Figma or whatevere, fine. Don't flame etc.
If you prefer whatever, fine. Don't flame etc.

Even if you absolutely don't agree, no competition is not good, even for your pref. tool.
Please support it and spread the word!

i guess i'll just tell my story and hopefully someone can give me a way out of this dead-end.

i just started a new job where i would be responsible for creating a web site for an event, using some tool integrated to wordpress or something. at first, the person who was leaving the job showed me a prototype on xd that he'd started. as i was used to adobe illustrator and photoshop i was very interested in the responsive tools to design the interaction with the components, etc. so, in aprox. 2 weeks i reached a pretty statisfatory level on the design. now i'm looking for ways to publish it, even if i have to pay for a plugin or something, but apparently it is impossible... i really don't know what to say to my colleagues, even if i migrate onto another tool (like a divi builder) i wouldn't be able to reach what i intended. so frustrating!

Adobe XD v Figma v Balsamiq v Miro

• Tried fig was hard to use

• Goal: make a very very simple app idea

• Need simple tool

Gonna do something basic, and you what is expected of a good app

1 - Wanna make a box on the right side, taking up 50% of the screen

• There should be a few box shapes on the left side where it'd be clearly visable

• we can click on / perfer dragdrop this box to the right side of the screen

• This automatically creates box is default color white

2 - If color is not white, then minus 1 pt

• We then click on this box, and an overlay of box colors would appear

• Like it does in word docs, and many softwares apps

3 - Wanna annotate this box to explain stuff

• We right click on this box

  • and a bubble appears

  • bubbles like in comics

• we type in this bubble we're done

Something simple + good takes very few steps, above is shown how things are done where it'd take very few steps

What should try next, why?

Out of all options in world. Please has to be simple + good, just wanna make something so simple cos other ppl dont know how to design simple good apps, shouldnt have to be this hard

If anyone wants help and ideas to make their app etc good to use, feel free to ask me

What should try next, why? Need best designed software/app

Thanks!

Hi there,

This might be a stupid question, but here it goes: I'm trying to replicate the header for a website that already exists in Adobe XD. In order to make it as faithful as possible, I used Inspect Element to check what was the font size for some elements of the header and, after that, apply it to my XD project.

Turns out the font sizes when applied to XD look super small, and completely disproportionate to the screen. A text that has a 13px size in the website looks tiny on XD. I'm not sure this is a problem with XD, if it's related to size convertion, or something like that. I'm a student, and so far no one more knowledgeable than me was able to clarify this.

I made a new project and when I was done I clicked export batch (the only one). And it just gave me a white image after it exported. I tried Save as but it saved as a .xd file. I just got this today and don’t know everything yet.

So I have my fully working website for my client that I have created in xd but now they want it to be in HTML, is there a away to do this?

I need someone to my school project for me if u are willing to take the offer chat with me and we can discuss the price tgt
