How to Export Code From Adobe XD for Engineers Using Design Specs
How to Extract Code from Adobe XD for Developers
In this tutorial, I will show you how to easily extract code from Adobe XD to
provide to your developers. This will help them understand the spacing, padding,
size, CSS elements, colors, fonts, and text used in your design.
Step 1: Share the Design
To begin, go to the Share tab in Adobe XD and select the flow you want to share.
Then, choose the Development option and either generate or update the link. Share
this link with your developer.
Step 2: View Specs
When your developer opens the link, they should click on the "View Specs" icon.
This will provide them with all the information they need.
To copy colors, they can simply click on the color and it will be copied to their
clipboard.
They can also view character styles and copy the CSS code associated with them.
For fonts, they can select the text and copy the font name and size.
They can also see information about size, layout, padding, and margins.
If there are interactions, they can view them and understand how the design should
behave.
It's important to note that developers will not be able to simply copy and paste
the code. They will need to rebuild it using the information provided.
Before sharing the design, it can be helpful to rename character styles and
properly name images to make it easier for developers to understand.
By sharing the design in this way, you can ensure that your developer has all the
necessary information to accurately code your design.
