Draw pen tool within a frame

When I use the Pen tool to draw shapes within a frame, Figma doesn’t acknowledge that I’m drawing within a frame and instead places the newly drawn object as the top layer. This interaction isn’t consistent with other drawing tools, such as the Ellipse or Rectangle tool— with those tools you can draw shapes within an existing frame. Is there a setting that I can use to fix this, or is this a new bug? (I would upoad a video, but as a new user to the community I’m not allowed to)

Two click interactions at the same time

I’m trying to create a snackbar notification that appears when I add an item to my wishlist, and I also want a heart icon to fill in when this action occurs. However, I’m having trouble getting both the filled heart icon and the snackbar notification to show up simultaneously when I click the heart. How can I achieve this?

Seeking Guidance on Responsive Design Workflow and Component Handling in Figma

Hello everyone, I’m a newbie UI/UX designer and am currently learning the ropes. I’m facing some challenges related to the workflow process for designing responsive websites in Figma. Workflow Confusion: After completing the desktop design, should I move on to creating the mobile version and then prototype both? Or is it better to prototype the desktop version first and then work on the mobile design and prototype? Component Sets: When designing for responsiveness, how should I handle component sets? We can’t apply constrains to Components. Do I need to detach instances to adjust components for mobile? I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on how to tackle these issues efficiently. Thanks in advance!

I need to save a file to the cloud

I found “save .fig” but that saves it locally. I do not know how to save a file to the cloud. I am ready to share it but it’s currently “untitled” and there’s no “save” in the menu. Command+S does not attempt to save or add file name. I assume it’s currently saved and autosaves, but I feel like sharing an untitled document looks bad. Also I’m fery annoyed there’s no UI for a basic save, even Google docs lets you know when something is being saved

Access to my file denied

I want to access one of my files (“Novus”), but I’m unable to because it says I need to request permission to access it. However, I am supposed to be the owner of the file. How can I regain access to it? I have a lot of work material there, and I can’t afford to lose it.

Figma Prototype Query: Conditional Logic for Label Interaction on Multiple Text Fields

Is it possible in Figma to create a prototype where, when a user clicks on a text field, the label smoothly animates and moves up to the top border of the text field, mimicking the floating label effect commonly seen in form designs? Additionally, I want other text fields in the form to reset to their default state (with the label inside the text field) when they are not active. I’m particularly interested in achieving this functionality using interactions with onClick triggers and conditional logic, especially when managing multiple text fields within the same form. Any guidance or tips on setting this up would be greatly appreciated.

Change instance state based on other instance state with conditional variables

I’m trying to create a Figma prototype of a form with specific functionality. This is a multiselect form that exists out 6 of the same instances. This component this instance comes from has 4 states: Default Active Hover Disabled What I need to happen is that when a user selects ‘No preference’ all other selected options need to be turned off (aka set to ‘Default’). What also needs to happen is if ‘No preference’ is set to ‘Active’ and another option is selected, the ‘No Preference’ option needs to be turned off (aka set to ‘Default’). In short, ‘No preference’ can never be used in combination with any of the other options but the other options should be selectable with each other… Anybody can help me figure out how to get this working?

Suggestions for variable naming continuity between design and front-end?

Hi Figma Friends! I was wondering if anyone has had any ideas or workarounds when dealing with the dev-side of things for color variables. Currently we have a primitive color collection that is cross referenced with our semantic colors collection. Inside of the variable collection interface, we use groups to keep things organized and easy to use for our designers, but it seems like on the dev-mode side, Figma is translating the group names to individual variables. So for example, we have a variable called “bg-neutral-primary,” which is inside of the “Backgrounds/Primary” group in our semantic collection. In Figma, this is great because the group name appears as a heading above all the variables in that group and since the variables themselves have a predictable naming structure, we can quickly search through them in the color panel. However, in dev-mode the variable name becomes “–Background-Neutral-bg-neutral-primary” which is too long and less than ideal. It also prevents our devs fr

Figma continuously opening in Safari browser on it's own while Figma Desktop App is open

Hi all, Long time user of Figma and am currently experiencing a strange issue. When I open a file from the Figma Desktop app or from a Figma/FigJam file link, the file will open as usual in my app, but then Figma will also open in my safari browser (default browser set by my employer) and will continue to open over and over again, creating an unlimited amount of tabs every 15 seconds or so. It is only opening to the main Figma home dashboard. Has anyone else experienced this and/or have a fix?
