Allow Infinite canvas for several screens in XD version(20.2.12.1)

Community Beginner ,
Mar 20, 2018 Mar 20, 2018

As an application designer (web/mobile), I really like using Adobe XD for early stage designs and small projects. Its minimalism is a joy to work with.

However, as a project grows in size, XD quickly begins to shows its limitations.

My prototypes often involve several hundred screens – and placing all of these on a single canvas becomes unworkable. At some point, you simply run out of space – even after spending time moving and organizing your screens around the canvas.

XD starts to feel very claustrophobic and limiting.

I can think of two possible solutions.

  1. Allow for multiple canvases (pages) in single XD project. And make page transitions and interactions work across canvases.
  2. Allow interactions/transitions to work across separate XD files.

I think either of these two suggestions would make XD more practical for larger projects. Until then, I will only use XD for smaller projects – or for time-sensitive early stage designs.

Thanks for the input. We are planning to support an "infinite" canvas, can that be a 3rd possible solution for you?

That would help -- but would just provide more space for me to have to organize.

Multiple canvases would be much better.

Or if there was a way to group artboards into a single group (e.g. Section 1, Section 2 , etc..)?  That could work with an infinite canvas and make it easier to navigate to screen groupings.

Sorry... one more idea comes to mind with the infinite canvas.

If there was a way to create an artboard navigation "anchor" (like on web pages) , I could these anchors to quickly navigate to different artboard clusters (Section 1, Section 2, etc).  That would make it easy to manage an infinite canvas.
