Artboard that is already overlayed

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to do an action on an artboard that is already overlayed.

 

Let's imagine that artboard A has a link to artboard B (overlay) and that artboard B has an overlay link to another artboard, for example C.


Adobe XD does weird things in animation when I do this. The idea is to fix artbord B so that artbord C can slide over artbord B.

Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi There,

    We can create overlay over overlay, Mean A-> b->C, but B artboard will get remove. Thats the limitation of XD. I would suggest try using component state and apply overlay on component state.

    Means, create compoment -> add another state using hover -> wire from hover to another artboard.

    I hope this will help.

     

    Thanks,

      Hi Vertika!

      I figured it was the only way. But, I hope that with future updates, a simpler alternative can be found.

      But, thanks for your answer!
