Creating Tabular Data

Hi all,

I am very new to Adobe products and my background with graphics is more Paint.NET.

I want to understand how to create tables in XD.  Its something so common in layouts, yet somewhat frustating.

Question - what is the easiest way to do tables.

For my current incarnation I am using Stack feature.

This is being created in the Pasteboard.

The table-group grouping works well.  It is a vertical Stack.  This is the blue row.

header-group is just a plain old grouping consisting of a group (col-a) and a rectangle (header).  This arrangement allows me to change colour of the header row independant of mucking up group colours.

Group3 us meant to be a row with text in.  I cannot position row-1 for the text to appear like the header.  And this is causing me a headache.  It all looks the same as the header-group.

Its frustrating when I change a text colour in a Text then change the group colour - wiping out my text colour.  So if I changed col-a Fill, then it will cascade over the top of the underlying text.

Am I doing something wrong?  Can anyone please give me some good tips and advice to get the most out of this feature, or suggest better ways to do it?

Thanks

Paul
