Auto change component height when inside elements are changed in height

Hey @Dylan21

You should take a look at Auto layout : this is a smart container that can adapt in both width and height according to what’s inside it

Hope it helped

Hey @Haroll, thnx, I already use that for other things, buttons etc, but will look into that for footers as well. One more thing: when I want to increase the height of the frame ‘Test components’ everything in the frame changes position as well, I just want the bottom part to extend with the elements staying in place. How to achieve that?

Ok so when you’re putting a element in a frame, this element get a Constraint section in Design Panel

This section allows you to manage how this element will behave if the frame change in size

In your file, the Test components frame contain a text block : Dragged the rectangle higher to the top and this one has constraints set to Scale (both in X and Y) which means whenever you resize the frame Test components the text block will scale up/down according to parent frame. In order to have every item keep their size and place but the last one :

1. Turn Test components to an auto layout (while doing so you may have to replace items to their original position, and check the layout so it’s horizontal)
   

2. Set its height to hug, so every item will fit inside

3. Set the bottom part height to Fill, so it will expand to take all remaining space

Thanks. But if I auto-layout my artboard then the footer will not automatically stick to the bottom anymore if I increase the height of the artboard. With all the different align settings:

Or is this another setting I’m missing?

Also, with all things stacked with auto-layout I cannot give the header a fixed position anymore.
