linking object/elements on same artboard or within artboard

[arpanag]

Hi,

I have been struggling to link elemets in same artboard. e.g: on graph if I want to show tooltip on click of coordinates.

creating arboard everytime for each elements linking is very tedious. if this feature in not there in XD, adobe need to think from usability perspective. other tools, like Axure and Sketch gives these features. 

can anyone help me here how to do this linking within artboard?

I don't completely understand what you're trying to do however you may want to try using Components. With a Component, you can create multiple states that reside on the same artboard but have different appearances depending on which object you tap.

Hi Chad,

what I am trying to do is linking the dot on the graph to the tooptip above it in the same artboard.

do you have solution for this?

[Chad Chelius]

Oh, so when you tap on the dot, the tooltip appears? Like this? I'm happy to share the file with you if you'd like.

Ironically I can only share this file with you directly to your email via Creative Cloud. So I put it on Google Drive. Here's the link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NzQXeB6TOUSv5kjbXExeM270KoSYcDnM/view?usp=sharing

Here's a link to the Adobe help that describes how states work within components. You can find plenty of other tutrorials as well. https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-component-states.html

GR8! Chad,

It's very helpful, I got through it now. 🙂 

I am so very relaxed, no need to make extra artboards for these small animations... Yiepee.. YO!

Cheers!

Hi Chad,

please check the link below

for

1. values on dots
2. previous and next arrows
3. DQ01 and DQ02 tabs

let me know your opinion.

[Chad Chelius]

It looks great. It seems like you're only navigating to DQ01 and DQ02. Should it keep going to DQ03 and DQ04 etc?

[arpanag]

yes, but for demo purpose, I just made these 2 tabs clickable.
