Hello

I don't believe that you don't have a xaml graphic design tool for the complete design workflow (graphically create and modify xaml graphics). This feature was requested more than 2 years ago!

Please add direct support in Designer to read and write xaml files with editing only the designer related parts of the files. E.g. if I open a xaml file which has two vector graphics, then I should be able to modify both graphics in designer and all other elements are not touched.

Have you ever designed a more complex WPF component using xaml vector graphics?
I'm throw back 20 years because I ghave to design it using a text description (xaml) and I'm not able to design it using a graphical design tool.
To be honest: one time I can design it in the designer and export xaml. But if I have to modify a foreign vector graphic, then I have to use xaml or have to redesign it completely new.

Kind regards,
Thomas

Bug
Repro Steps? (N/A for Suggestion)
Because you don't offer a xaml designer for graphical elements for the complete design workflow, please, add:
1. at least xaml import.
2. additionally, please add "Paste from xaml" (not only "Copy as xaml")
3. additionally, please add "view design in xaml"
Better would be: add direct support in Designer to read and write xaml files with editing only the designer related parts of the files. E.g. if I open a xaml file which has a lot elements and two vector graphics, then I should be able to modify both graphics in designer and all other elements are not touched.

Thanks for the input. We're looking at how both Blend and Design can work better to solve loose XAML editing.
