Our vision from the outset was for XD to provide an end-to-end solution for designing, prototyping and collaborating on user experiences. Thanks for your continued support of XD, and hopefully you'll see underline soon! It's been a bit of a mad dash trying to get everything in XD just right, but we're working on it! But because the implementation cost was high, we weren't able to sneak it in earlier, and had to wait until there was a bit more breathing room in our schedule. And it had to have a consistent round-tripping experience with other formats like SVG.Īll of these challenges are surmountable, especially given that we've started building out the feature in development builds. We had to keep it consistent across the editor, canvas, desktop, mobile, and web. That in itself wasn't so bad, but unfortunately, as Andrew mentioned, we didn't have this immediately available in our platform, and so we had to build it out. Creating gaps around font descenders that would intersect the underline.Creating a single underline for adjacent text runs with different styles (for example, font size).For XD, the main things we wanted to get right were: A while ago, Medium posted an article on getting link underlines to look just right, and they explore a bit about what can go right or wrong with underline renditions. There are a couple challenges to getting underline working correctly in XD, both in terms of its appearance and getting that appearance consistent across platforms. You're doing a lot really well - looking forward to seeing this become a more fully featured design tool! if you want to really become a Sketch 'killer' - supporting copy(Sketch)/paste (XD)would be INCREDIBLE Symbol organization - even thought the / hack is a hack, it works pretty well.(future beta) Linked libraries with external libraries.Sketch - Non - destructive symbol overrides - MAJOR (not just text but style, icon, object etc.) Important Sketch 'advantages' and why I have not /cannot move from it at this point include: This exists in Sketch today but is alleviated by the ability to add plugins to enhance the toolset and general workflow. I guess there will always be a difference between core vs 'pro/power user' features.
Hoping that XD can break me away from that. but at times now, Sketch feels sluggish and has bugs that persist for months (or years). I turned to Sketch as it was more focused for the uses I need over Photoshop. The dedication to simplicity and performance is excellent. I know you can copy/paste exported SVGs, but something more direct would be appreciated.Īll that said, I truly appreciate what you guys are building and hope you succeed. sketch import functionality coming to XD soon? This would do wonders for easing people into the tool who are coming from Sketch. As soon as it supports XD, I'll consider making the switch fulltime.Īdditionally, with Sketch opening up their file format, can we expect to see. One plugin in particular, as I'm sure the team is fully aware of is Zeplin. Are these on the roadmap in the near-term? One of the single most important features of Sketch is the ease of building plugins - they support and have enabled so much more than the core team could implement. Used Photoshop for UI for years, moved to Sketch a few years back, but would love to move to XD fulltime. But why was that feature even implemented now, when basic features like guides and JPEG export are still missing? Everything else is neatly contained in the main window, so should CC Libraries.
I'll second the comment about CC Libraries being a new window. it will not be good for their impression of XD. That doesn't seem like a good approach as new users are evaluating XD and seeing poorly implemented features. This implementation of styles is the weakest of any Adobe app I've used so far, and seems rushed for the sake of getting it to market. it makes me wonder why? InDesign's approach of dealing with overrides, etc is just awesome. Seriously though, Adobe InDesign has awesome style sheets and Adobe XD launches with such poorly implemented styles. There are no paragraph styles so text alignment can't be saved into a style (plus there's no space before or after a paragraph). You can't see what style is currently applied, if you resize a text box, the style connection is lost (with no way to indicate whether it is connected or not). Why were character styles implemented so poorly? You can't name them.
