I've downloaded a XD file with all material design icons, I'd like to "convert" it into a library with those icons, how to? Would I have to convert each icon individually into a symbol within XD? I used a plugin "icons 4 design" from "EM software" but they updated that and now it almost only displays icons from paid packages. ... View more

I got a question about XD for you, regarding something that is very boring. Every time I wanna insert a new text box on XD, I have to create the text box, type a text and then, only after I typed my text, I'm able to apply a character style from the ones I have on the assets panel. The problem is that XD saves in its memory the last text size I used last, and sometimes it's a big size, so every time I have to reduce text size to fit in the bounding box, so it's an extra work.   Is there a way to insert a text directly from a character style, without having to type a text before and only then applying a character style? It would be so much time saver if I could insert a text right from a character style already saved on my assets panel. I tried to double-click or dragging and drop a character style to my artboard to see if XD would create a text box exactly with that character style settings, but it didn't work.   It's always an unnecessary work having to firstly add a text box, insert any text and after apply a style. Have you got bored with that thing too or it's just me?? 😢 ... View more

  I wanna "cut" a triangle (see on the image, the black one) from that rectangle's left bottom corner, but when I use pathfinder or shape builder tools to do that, the triangle "assumes" the rectangle's full gradient, and instead, I need the triangle to "grab" gradient continuity, like if it had been cut with a scissor (on photoshop I just would have to rasterize the rectangle). I wanna put that triangle on my artwork left bottom, and sure, keeping it editable. ... View more

I finished my new logo and always I make a logo, I pick CMYK format, thinking on print and vector first. I created a color scheme using Adobe Color by setting up the HEX values. As you may know, Adobe Color displays each color you picked in a variety of formats, including RGB, CMYK and, as a new feature, its Pantone respective match.   My 1st doubt here is that when I apply the CMYK values Adobe Color shows, those colors look like a little different from the RGB. Is that normal? Can we "rely" on Adobe Color regarding color conversions? And, before someone saying to me, I don't have Pantone physical palettes, I'm still unemployed 😞   2nd point: the CMYK values Adobe Color shows to us is different from those which I see on Illustrator CMYK correspondent fields after putting that respective color's HEX or RGB code. Example: one of my colors is #CD0A5A. Adobe Color "says" that its CMYK value is 0, 95, 56, 20, however, if I insert #CD0A5A on Illustrator and take a look on the CMYK respective value, you'll see 15, 100, 48, 2. Also, after I add my color theme from Adobe Color to swatches on Illustrator, those colors are added with some variations on their values, e.g., the HEX #CD0A5A after I add onto Illustrator, it "becomes" #CD1D5C".   Could you help me with those points?? ...

I've downloaded some adobe xd grid "defaults" and every xd file I downloaded suggests a different grid to use on mobile: one shows 3 columns, another one shows 6 columns, another one shows even 12 columns. My mind is a mess around this subject. So, how many columns (and gutter value too) should I use when designing for a mobile screen (or when transposing a desktop layout to mobile)? I have 3 artboards with the same design (in my case, a landing page). See below my grid config to each of them (bearing Bootstrap in mind): Artboard - Desktop 1366 x 768 12 columns / Gutter width 30 / Column width 70 / Margins 98 (value for left and right margins) Artboard - Tablet 768 x 1024 6 columns / Gutter width 30 / Column width 90 / Margins 39 Artboard - Mobile 375 x 667 (iphone 6/7/8, not plus) 3 columns / Gutter width 30 / Column width 95 / Margins 15 I got those grid measures/values from a XD grid freebie from the internet. However, every website says something different, and I'm in a deep doubt about if those values are good or the recommend ones, specially talking about mobile, because I've read that we should use 2 columns on grid when designing for mobile, and I'm using 3 columns. I started asking that to myself because I'm in doubt about a specific section of my landing design, I mean, I couldn't think how to distribute some texts properly on the section. So, what would you recommend me to use? Are my grids "correct"? ... View more
