Copy the file with cmd + shift + c and paste it into other software. The color of the copied image is different from the visual draft.

If Figma sets the p3 color gamut, the color copied by shortcut is srgb.

Figma keeps reloading

Since the latest update, Figma keeps reloading unexpectedly. Whether I’m zooming in, adding a new image, or doing anything else, it randomly reloads, shows a black screen, and then reloads the file.

New properties on components are not being pushed to instances

Hi, I Imported a sketch file into Figma with the Library included. I pulled the designs out of the library file and all instances are still connected to the original components. I now updated these components with the correct properties and published them, but the instances in the seperate design file are not updating their properties. Is there a reason why or is there a way to update a placed instance?

Figma plugin API - get resulting color

When working with the plugin API. We can extract color data by accessing the fill / strokes properties. During development I have come to the situation where I want to extract the final color of a node, let’s say a rectangle. By final color I mean the color the user actually sees on the Figma canvas. To simplify let’s assume our rectangle has only fills set. From experimenting I know that the color appearing on the screen comes from the combination of blending of the fills array for the node, which is also affected by opacity of the fills, the nodes opacity and by the colors of nodes that don’t have opacity 1 and are before it on the z-axis, then if our fills (or the resulting color at this point) doesn’t have opacity one by the colors of nodes behind it on the z-axis. Trying to calculate it myself I end up with a computation heavy operation if I would want to get the colors of each node in a layout (or the entire document). Yet Figma already knows does values as it renders them on the

Domain Capture with multiple Tenants in Enterprise. What will happen?

Hi everyone. We want to enable SCIM provisioning in our Org. We are using two tenants of Figma (due to security reasons), with designers either working on one of those or not, with the same domain adress. With SCIM we face the problem, that the email invite and validation coming from Figma is going nowhere, because the “Unique identifier” is not the an mail adress with an mbox. So “Domain Capture” would be the choice, but we are still unsure what will happen to a user, who is working on one tenant, not the other. Also, we want to test that on our “Sandbox” tenant, but also here, when we activate “Domain capture” for the sandbox, will all of our users be drawn there, and cannot access the other tenants? Has anyone of you Enterprise admins has experience in that? Thanks!

Bulk delete component property

How can I delete a component property in bulk? I’m managing a set of 7000 icons variants, each component having a common property. Manually removing unnecessary properties by individually clicking on each one is time-consuming. How can I efficiently delete this 7000 properties from the components?

"transform each" function in Figma?

I would like to transform a group of elements individually in Figma as opposed to in a group. In Illustrator you can select the “transform each” option to achieve this.

Api : how to know if a node was resized

Hi, i have a parent node containing some vectors sub-nodes, when i resize manually the parent node (to let’s say half of the size), width, height, and absoluteBoundingBox give me the new dimensions (after rescale), but absoluteRenderBounds gives me the previous dimensions. (before rescale) Is that intended ? Is there any way i can know about the scaling factor of that node ? I have seen that relativeTransform is not used for scaling. Thanks

Exporting selected frames into single PDF

As part of my Figma plugin, I want to export selected frames to single PDF. I found this global option to “export frames to PDF” which can do the job. Other options don’t work well as expected. How can I do this from within the plugin code? I tried using ‘pdf-lib’ node module. But Figma doesn’t allow me to use any libraries. Is there a Figma API that can export all selected frames into single PDF without the use of external libraries? A help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Turn off notifications for specific project (Oct 2023)

I have searched for this answer in the forum, but haven’t been able to my situation represented yet - so here goes: I am a design manager who needs access to all projects in my company, but do not want the notifications for all projects. Currently I am unable to find, either within the Mac desktop app or the we app, where within a specific project there is an ability to turn off notifications (currently getting both a pile of emails, as well as Slack notifications in our generic Slack integration- not channel specific). Any help to turn off one project notifications would be greatly appreciated!

Multiple independent scrolling carousels.

I DID SEARCH THE EXISTING TOPICS, THERES NO MENTION OF PUTTING MULTIPLE HORIZONTAL CAROUSELS INTO A SINGLE PAGE IN FIGMA. So the boss wants an interactive way to flip through UI designs in one page. I got the rest of it down, there’s a menu bar with 4 buttons, they have 6 graphic styles and each of those 6 styles comes in rectangular buttons and oval buttons. I have it set up so the user can click the buttons to flip through the placeholder carousel of items in the main screen, but i also need the entire bottom section under the nav bar to have variations of that space in a carousel that the user can also flip through. So how do i put a self contained carousel into an already large page with an existing carousel and multiple button options? I can find nothing even close to explain this. All i want to do is drop a carousel onto my page and have it stay the same from page to page unless the user wants to change it. Is it not even possible?

What happened to variable font menu?

The variable font menu has drastically changed today from yesterday. It previously looked like it does in my screen shot and in Figma’s documentation. Today the UI has changed so drastically I can no longer figure out how to manipulate the axis settings (screen shot attached). It seems I can only select presets now and no longer tweak settings incrementally with slides, which is much preferred!! Did I accidentally change something in Figma’s increasingly complex UI or is this a permanent update in the software?

removing autolayout it loose constraint on resize

I have an autolayout in the main frame that contains other frames When I drag the cursor over the frame in autolayout to resize it, it resizes all the content (other frames) towards the center and it is right that it behaves like this. I tried deleting autolayout on the main frame and then putting it back without changing anything and this time when I resize, it no longer behaves as before, but the frame in the autolayout moves to the right without resizing. Why? What about this behaviour? Davide

Deleting / logging out of Figma from a remote computer

I’ve left the company but on the computer in that company, I forgot to logout of my Figma account (which is tied to my Google email address using Single-Sign-On aka Google SSO). If I change the password to my Google account, and the next time someone opens up Figma in that computer, will Figma prompt them to enter login? Can I delete that account and the next time someone starts Figma, they’ll see no accounts in there, like a fresh new install of Figma?
