Question

Alert icon instead of transition

Hello,

when I use an item as a button to link to another artboard I can chose what kind of transition I'd like be executed. As soon as the link is set to it's target though the specified kind of transition disappears and a yellow alert icon appears.

When I open older files the dropdown menu for choosing transitions ist still there and working. And I still can recreate any available transition in that document.

But as soon as I copy in some of the new contents from artboards created with the 2018 XD version, that content again gives me the alert icon, and no transition to choose form.

?

Thanks for any hint!

XD 8.1.22.2 Starter, OS X 10.11.6

Would it be possible for you to create a short video of your issue and post it here?

I tried testing on version 10.13.4 and I am unable to reproduce what you say. This is what I did:

- Created three artboards with symbols

- Linked symbols to artboards using transitions

- Copied contents from these artboards to a new project and tested

Everything worked as expected.

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick reply, Preran,

I tried again, starting a document, one Artboard, copying that, working on it. Then go to «Prototype»-mode and the full range of transitions is available (Video 1).

Then I add some more pages – always with copy/paste with some previous content included, but no prototyping-links set as yet – choice of transitions is replaced by alert flag (Video 2)…

Best Regards,

Olaf

This issue happens when artboards are of different sizes. The team tells me that this feature has been designed this way.

Thanks,
