    Found a reason and solution — make sure the elements size are both even number. XD cannot align to non integer coordinates in pixels apparently. 
    I've scaled the cirles down and one of them became of odd number size in pixels, making it 1 pixel larger solved the problem. 

     

    Also mighbe don't use XD for free drawing... Illustrator is still required for that, XD cannot go on its own for all purpose platform like Figma...

    Hi Daria,

     

    We're so sorry to hear about the trouble. I tested this on the latest version of XD which is 43 and macOS and I was able to align the objects so could you please share the version of XD and OS. Could you also confirm if this happening on a new file?

     

    Regards

    XD Version 43.0.12.14

    Win 10

    Why the above and the age of the file are supposed to affect the aligment? Figma and InVision Studio are able to do that for free no matter these... It's a basic function
