I have a variety of master components set up in one file. And in another file various instances of these master components.
All the master components have images within them set up to be exportable at various sizes and image formats.
However for one reason or another when I look at these images in the instance version the export settings from the master component are not there.
Is this just a missing feature? Or is there a reason they’re not inherited from the master?
They are not inherited for a reason. The most common use-case for exporting main components in UI design is probably when you want to export icons for development. If every icon also inherited export settings in instances, exporting all the assets from a file at once would result in a ton of duplicate icons in the exported package.
That makes sense.
It would be great to be able to turn this option on or off. For our company’s purpose, it’s incredibly useful for them to be inherited for this particular context.
