    Hi Rekha,

    We can design like calculator in XD, but if you are expected complete functionality of calculator like adding any number is not possible in XD. Until unless you are specific which number you want to add.

     

    Thanks,

    Yeah XD is great for the visual design but you definitely need 
    to build the actual logic outside of it!

    I ran into this exact issue — ended up building a standalone 
    web calculator instead.

    Much easier to handle real-time 
    calculations that way 😊

    Hi there,

    Adobe XD is great for prototyping visuals, but it doesn't support actual calculations or input-based logic. If you’re looking to test calculations like salary breakdowns, you’ll need to build it out in a real app or use a calculator tool outside XD something like a PPP calculator can help you validate numbers while designing.

    Hope that helps! 🙂

      Hi Rekha,

      XD is used for Design which we have to design before. In XD we must know the flow. In your case we should know input and output before. So if you click on input it should move to output.

      Hope its help.
