How to specify the direction of the drag trigger in XD?

Hi,

 

Do you know if there's a way of specifying where a drag trigger will go depending on where you drag. E.G. Drag down, go to artboard 2 / Drag up, go to artboard 3.

 

Thanks

    For those of you who wanted to see more detials, I found this workaround. If you are scrolling horizontally it should help! Start watching at 11:30 (quick 2 minute clip)

        I've got another problem. I made a button with masking overlay. I want to drag overlay left or right to accept or decline something with this button. The problem is: my overlay move from left to right, but to start interraction i must drag to the other way.

        You could use the Component State but the Drag trigger is not available so you have to use the Tap, which may or may not be a good solution for you.

        Exactly, they're not good solutions. I know, I can move mask and let the green rectangle stay, but it doesn't let me move the button moth ways with different effect (drag right -green, drag left - red)

        Hello everyone

         

        I have this problem with adobe xd too, but I find the way!

        if you connect artboards together directly with Drag Action, the drag direction just works on Right To Left, but if you connect the objects inside the artboards (e.g Text) as you want to have Drag Action on it, then it works correctly as you want (RTL Or LTR), I concluded.

         

        Good Luck 😉

              Hi Soulglowdeej,

              Drag it basically depends on the direction in which the element is moving. e.g if the element is moving towards the right side, then you got to drag right and the animation would appear. If the object is moving down, then the gesture would be drag down. Hope it helps, please update this discussion in case you need further assistance.

              If you wish to set direction first, please raise it here: -Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs and share the thread us so that we can keep a track of it.

              Thanks,

              Atul_Saini

                Hi Atul_Saini,

                Just to be sure, cause I am having a similar challenge with the dragging gestures:

                At the moment it's not possible to drag an object to two different artboards?

                E.g.

                Here I want to drag the object in the middle to left OR right depending on where you drag it.

                It is working to the right but not to the left because I can't specifiy a second artboard.

                Thank you in advance

                  Right now, the drag option works only in one direction (Right to Left)

                  Please vote for this feature request Specify drag direction – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs to stay tuned to the latest announcements around it.

                  Thanks,
