Export from Figma to InDesign

Hi! How do I know which local image folder to use?

@Johanne_Furuseth
Any local directory on your mac or pc, for the images that are loaded by Figma.

Hi @Miek , Thanks a lot for your help! This saved me a lot of work!!!

@Liliana_Reis Thank you for your feedback.
I am very pleased that it has made your work easier.

There is a 1 round about way to do this. I know of a colleague that ran into this a few months ago. The exported to PowerPoint using the Figma PowerPoint plug-in and then imported that PPT file using another tool. Dont remember quite the tool but he swore by it.

I’m gettin an error as its trying to import. Something to do with my labeling of the Local Image Folder. I’m on a mac. How can i phrase that correctly? “Downloads” or what?

You have to enter the “real” unix path at mac.
Example
/Users/snm/Documents
where “snm” is my username which you have to replace with yours.

Miek, thank you for responding to me so quickly, as I needed this so badly!
Thanks so much for creating this! 😀

Miek, Thank you for creating this. Unfortunately, I’m getting Renderer errors when importing “TEXT: No document is open”. Do you know what might be causing this?

I’m trying to export SVG or PDF files from Figma. My objects are made up of several masks. When I import those files into InDesign, the masks do not work. Please help.

Hello Miek,

I wanted to know if there is any way that the plugin could work with the latest version (20.2), as it shows that the plugin is not compatible with the current version.

Thanks:)
