I know this was an issue on the old Spectrum forum that doesn’t seem to have any ground here, and it still is an issue.

See quick video with imported complex vectors and a simple heart made in Figma.

Any idea when this bug will be addressed? Dropping it into Illustrator is not an appropriate solution.

    Hey All,

    This is a long standing bug that our engineers have been continuously logging and trying to fix. This generally only happens on icons imported from other apps, where the mirroring on the points is reversed or missing.

    Right now, the best workaround is to rebuild affected icons from scratch. Please note that redrawing with fewer points can also help.

    While we can’t guarantee an ETA on a fix/improvements, please know that our team follows this thread and takes everything you provide into consideration.

      Still an issue that I face regularly!

      I can always get around it after som fiddling, but it’s annoying. Seems like the “scale things up a lot, outline stroke, scale things down again” method is an okay workaround for now.

        I found the logic behind it and, therefore, a sloppy solution.
        Figma needs a higher resolution to Outline the Stroke.
        Making it HUGE(ex 5000px x 5000px) and then converting the stroke into a path has been working for me.

        Worked perfectly in my case and is much quicker than firing up Illustrator. Now I just have to remember that hack. Thanks ​@Miquel !
