Exporting Asset Size Discrepancy - HELP?

[Pixelysian]

Here is an example of the problem:

Here's my button. It is 214 x 110px...

Until I export as Design asset... and it becomes: 248x128px

Huh?

If I draw a simple rectangle to the same size, it exports fine...

The box on the right is the actual (wrong) size being saved out:

I wondered if it was a shadow issue (XD should allow for this in calculating!!!)... but if I put the real size button within the wrong size, the shadow is miles away so it doesn't make sense that it would add on all those extra pixels.

So I took the shadow off as a test, and it saved at correct size.

This is pretty rubbish when you need to export assets for developers.

So what's the work around?

Do I have to turn off the shadows for every single button and then export and take each one into Photoshop at the correct size?

This is not good enough.

Hi Pixelysian​, one work-around would be to mask the button with that rectangle (overlap them, bring the rectangle to front, select them both, right click mask with shape).

HTH,

Vlad

Thanks - I'll give that a go - I did wonder that but it's a laborious task with the amount of buttons I have (and they're all symbol assets)!

It's really quite annoying though that XD don't allow for the shadow in the programme... it's misleading and unhelpful.

Very helpful Vlad - thanks!
