Clean SVG Export for Arcs, semi-circles and rings (curve coordinates)

How to successfully export arcs, semi-circles and rings as SVGs. Currently, these curve coordinates are converted to paths, making the exports large in file size and difficult for any developer to manipulate coordinates in terms of animations, hover states etc. Any ideas, plug-ins?

Delete the contents inside the curated libraries

In all the design files, there are three default libraries in curated libraries. I don’t need them, but I can’t find anywhere to completely delete them. Does anyone know?

Is it possible to have different billing names and my user name in Figma?

I’ve run into an issue where I need the billing name to be different from my user name in Figma. This is important for managing billing details accurately and avoiding confusion. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a way to set a separate billing name that appears on invoices while keeping the project name for internal use? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated! 😀

Cherokee Syllabary as Variable Works in Linux App Viewer Not Web Viewer

Hey! I’m trying to replace the text of a page title in a Figma prototype based on the link that takes you to the page. When I change the variable text used in English text boxes everything works fine, but when I change text in Cherokee syllabary it says “Some missing fonts were replaced”, even though the text block that is linked to that variable is set to Noto Sans Cherokee. Strangest of all, it works fine in the viewer in my local Figma application (linux) but not on the web. The static text using Noto Sans Cherokee shows up fine but it doesn’t work on the web when set via variable. Thanks for any insight anyone might have! Geoff

Way to “drag” video to simulate 3D Model?

I have a video of a 3D scene and each frame of the video “rotates” the 3D scene. I would like to have this video in a Figma prototype to simulate a user dragging their cursor on the video and it simulates the act of “dragging”/rotating the 3D model Basically on drag the video would play one frame at a time, but on drag isn’t an option for prototyping a video. Does anyone know what I could do?

How can I update a widget?

Hey all, I’ve been using the FigLog widget to keep track of my work, but I’ve noticed that this widget has received an update. How can I update any FigLogs that already exist to the most recent version of the widget without losing track of everything I got there? Thank you

Variable aliases to have different values on different modes

I agree this is possible to have different values on different modes. I mean technically it works. I have two collections primitive colors and semantic colors which refers to the former. There are some scenarios where I want to have white in Light Mode which can have different colors based on context. For example, card background can be white in Light, Dark mode will obviously have shade of black in primitive, but I want a different color for card background alone in Dark mode. I can change the color in the dark mode in the semantic collection but it doesn’t seem to work though. Ideas and help appreciated.

Colors outdated for Dev Mode "Viewer" Seat

Hello, guys. Recently, one of my fellow developers came across an issue: he has the “viewer” mode in Figma for all the files in the project team, and, we he tries to inspect an element, unfortunately the color is outdated. It shows, for example “Red v1” instead of “Red v2”. On one hand, the color used to be “Red v1”, but now it is “Red v2”. I’ve tried Updating the library for all the files Following this guide. This is the issue I’m facing right now. Also, as an alternative option, is there a way of restricting the developer to have access to the dev mode, but can’t edit the Figma elements? The developer only wants to use the Dev Mode, and I don’t want them to eventually mess with the file (so someday I can see a change in an element, but can’t figure out who made that, even with the history - because it takes time)

New line in comments

Is there any way to restore the Enter key behavior within comments? Before: Enter key would add a new line while typing comments Now: Enter sends the comment (requires Cmd+Enter to add new line) It is extremely annoying that it ends up sending the comments before I’m done writing them. This is an issue that happens regularly: I type “@” and the name of the person(s) I want to mention then I press Enter to start the actual comment but then It already sends the comment with just the mentions the people I mentioned receive an email notification with empty comment I have received emails with just my name (exactly like in step 4 above), so it’s not only me who’s having this issue. Please help me.

Video playback not working with prototype Embed Link

Hoping for support troubleshooting this, or confirming if it’s a platform limitation I should submit the fix for as an ‘idea to share’ instead… I have a simple prototype that has a home screen with a looping video background and 3 buttons that each open an overlay (when closed, they return to the underlaying home screen). This works as expected when viewing the prototype in Figma, but the video doesn’t play when using the Embed Link of the prototype. Here’s what I’ve tried so far… Add the background video using Figma’s documentation for adding videos to prototypes. In the prototype settings, set the video to loop and toggled off the sound setting. Tested the prototype in Figma and everything worked as expected. Used Figma’s Embed documentation to use the Share toolbar to grab embed code. Created a Notion page, selected the embed option, and pasted in the embed code. Prototype loaded as expected with full functionality, but without the video playback. Tried Notion’s Figma integration t

Can't allow viewers to copy

Hi, Today I noticed that viewers were unable to copy from some files. However, when I toggle the checkbox, Figma doesn’t save the change. After a while, it reverts to untoggled. Some of my files belong to a published library and do not have an owner.

Fonts not updating

I installed a font on my Mac and it loaded into Figma but registered as 4 different fonts based on styles of the font (e.g. book, medium, bold, black). So I went into FontBook on my Mac and reinstalled a different version of the font. It loaded perfectly into other programs but Figma still displays it as four separate fonts and they aren’t even the complete set so it isn’t usable as is. What can I do about this? Is there any way to delete the current reference or force Figma to re-register the font? Things I have tried: reloading, web vs. desktop app, deleting the app and reinstalling.

How can I check what variable name that is linked to another color variable?

I have a standard situation when I move my color library to Variables. So I have basic colors, like Gray 0-9, Blue 0-9, etc. I created a token for Border, which is linked to Gray 5. But I can’t see it from inspection, or any other place, because it shows me a HEX color! Is there a way to check it?

Need to make a prototype and iPad not mobile device no mirroring

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding Figma prototypes. In the past, I have created prototypes to view on a monitor and to share with others. I know that Figma has been updated, but I am unsure if a prototype will work directly on an iPad or a touchscreen (not an iPhone). (No Mirroring) This would be specifically created as a demo at events, and currently. I have tried searching for this information online, but it’s proving to be difficult. Thank you for your help!

My educational email will be deleted soon

Hello, I just graduated and soon, my school will delete my educational email. In my current account, I have all of the projects I worked on for the last 5 years. I would like to keep them, as I might need them in the future, in order to show them for employment, portfolios, etc. All of us, graduating students from my school, learned that information last week and we have no idea what to do about it. I tried to change the email on my account but it’s not editable. I tried to contact the Figma support, but they replied to me saying I only have a Starter account, so I can only receive support from community… I’d really appreciate some help on that matter, I just want to keep all of the projects I worked on for the last 5 years. Thank you so much if you can help me.

Aligning/merging connectors together

I am drawing connectors from multiple sources to one destination. In some cases the connectors align well and merge with each other to form one single line, whereas in this case the lines are not merging together. Either it goes up or down. Please refer to the screenshot below. I want to merge/overlap these two lines so that appear as one. Thanks for your help in advance.

Can't select prototype actions (to copy)

After assigning multiple prototyping actions to a trigger I can’t current select them. I’d love to copy / paste them. I’m quite sure I’ve done this before. After clicking it seems to de-select right away. I am still able to drag to re-order. Anyone else experiencing this quirk? (The - (remove) button appearing so close to the collapse/expand arrow also isn’t great)

Duplicating Libraries

Hello, Figma Community! I’m exploring the process of duplicating an existing library within my team and have several questions about how this impacts both the original and the duplicated libraries. I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share! Notifications to Team: When I duplicate a library, does the team receive any notification about this new duplicate? Connection Between Original and Duplicated Libraries: After publishing the duplicated library, is there any link or connection back to the original library? In other words, does the duplication process create any dependencies or ties between the two? Impact on the Original Library: By duplicating a library, is there any risk of altering or damaging the original library in any way? Preservation of Library Elements: Does duplicating a library ensure that all variants, functions, and components from the original library are carried over? More importantly, will these elements function as intended in the duplicated library? Up
