Components are treated like images in Dev Link

Question

I have an XD file the uses components thoughout. When I share as a development link, the components show up as a single element. The CSS and the export treat it like an image rather than a group of html elements.

This is useless as development hand off tool. The only way to make it useful is to ungroup all components before generating the link.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @ddimon@def6.com, I created a simple component with an image and its elements are perfectly selectable, if you want to compoare with your component to see what is different, prototype and file links are below:

I can't think of anything but the possibility of the shared link of the file of having the component as an image, could you please check if the link belongs to the file you're working on or some other file, and then I'd also try resharing/updating the link, even pasting the component in a new empty file and resharing the link there to see if there's anything wrong with the actual file. Hope this helps!
