Adobe XD Notes - Grid


Artboards and responsive layouts
When designing for a multi-device landscape today, designers need to consider how content works across multiple screen sizes.
To solve this user problem, Adobe XD has developed a feature called responsive resize that allows you to resize objects while maintaining spatial relationships at different sizes to best adapt to multiple screen sizes.

Adobe XD - A virtual pixel = a CSS pixel = one physical pixel on a 72 dpi monitor
Adobe XD uses a virtual pixel for most of its measurements and font sizes, which is the same unit of measurement as a CSS pixel, the basic unit of measurement in iOS. The virtual pixel is roughly equal to one physical pixel on a 72 dpi monitor (and, incidentally, a point). You cannot change the unit of measurement in Adobe XD.

2 types of grid options for artboards: square grids and layout grids

Prefer an outline style of layout grid? Set the alpha in your layout grid to 0, and you’ll see only the lines.
drag the artboards in an order that matches the path the user takes from one screen to another in the document. In other words, in an app you may have a login screen. After the user enters their login information, the next screen they may see in the app is their home screen. The home screen artboard would follow the login screen artboard in the flow (usually from left to right). This can also make the artboards easier to find later.

Design System & Component Library

Image
Good practice to set up a component library is to create a separate component page from regular design page to store all newly-created components on that component page. These components  will become local components. So it becomes the component library. On that page, once a component is created, it will be listed on the Assets tab on the right hand panel.  It then can be dragged from Assets tab into any page in the same file.  Publishing component sets to a library is only supported  Professional and Education teams, or Figma Organizations . Click the Team Library button highlighted in blue to publish the component sets to T eam Library , where team member can access to the library. See in this tutorial in which it shows how to create a component on Component page then it can be used in Design page: Figma For Beginners: Create designs (2/4) 16:38 Create a navigation bar
