make a scaled component the size of main component

More details in the video:

I’ve been granted access to edit a Figma file with different pages. All components are present on one page. However, every time I try to go to the main component a message appears saying “you don’t have access to this file”. On the other hand, when I go to the components’ page itself and do changes to one of the main components, the changes don’t get updated anywhere in the file. What should I do? I’m using the web-browser app from a mac. I’m on a free plan subscription I need to be able to edit components and see the updates happening

All of my HDFC credit cards are being declined for payment. I have successfully made payments using the same credit card until last month, but now Figma is not accepting the card. Has anyone else faced this issue? Can anyone help? Ask the community @Figma_Support

Hi team, I am not able to locate my drafts that are older than 6 months. Need them, can you help? I read different threads but nothing.

Hello guys, I have a problem with the data I input inside the components I created in my project. Whether I use variables or not, when I shut down Figma and I open it up again, the data I inputted are no longer there. In particular I am talking about a 3 levels navigation, composed by accordions (picture below). If everything is open, the datas of course are still there (but, obviously, I need it close in the prototype, so that I can open it there). If I close the accordions, the data disappears. Does this happen to anybody else? How can I solve it?

I am having trouble with my hi-fid prototype. The flow begins with a couple of frames for the splash page. When I view it in presentation mode it works fine. However, when I link it on my Behance project, it skips the entire splash presentation. Help!

Hello, now I’m using Figma professional plan but I didn’t see the UI3 and Figma AI feature. How to use these features and what is the wrong. Please help me if you have any ideas about this. These features are available or not When this feature are released What can I do for using these features Thanks in advance.

I have a library with defined variables - primitives and tokens. None of them is “hidden”, but when I import the library to a design file I see only a part of the primitives, but none of the tokens. It says they are hidden but they are not. Any idea? Thanks! 🙏

We need to include some features in Figma. Mouse move to increase or decrease the font size. Something like “Strock size” Font size Move the Tools bar (Bottom to top/left/right) and Hide Tools bar. Tools Thanks

Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to copy and paste an element from one page to another or from a different Figma document. I’ve tried Command + C / V but this has no effect. There is also no option under File > Edit. I’ve tried using Figma on both Chrome and Safari browsers so far. Thanks

added frames but not showing up in destinations under prototype

I want to delete the Pig Jam sheet, what should I do? I didn’t use the Pig Jam sheet, but it was created and paid for Why or how PJ sheets were made?

Hey! This should be so basic but I can’t find the answer. This is our master component: A section with width set to fill, height set to hug. Inside there is a frame set to width fill and height set to hug. Inside of this there is a placeholder image with width set to fill, height set to fixed. In my instance, I want to replace the placeholder image. I copy-paste the fill layer of my new image over to the placeholder image layer in the instance, and hide the placeholder fill layer. I set the new image fill layer to “fit”. Problem - I can’t figure out how to make the frame around the image snap to the new fill layer? It’s still huging the size of the old placeholder fill layer, even if delete it. Nothing I change in the master seems to make any difference. And when I pull the new image layer with the new fill out of the instance, it has actually changed size to be the same size as the old placeholder image layer!? It has added more transparent space around the image and made the image la

When I went back to Figma this morning and searched for some old files, they were completely gone from my work, and those files were owned by only me, no other members. They wouldn’t just show up in the recent as well as in the drafts or trash. I have no idea where those files went. Please help me find those files, as those files are very important to me.

Good afternoon, a file has disappeared that has not been opened for about 2 years. I really need it now. how to find/restore it?

Hello, I was wondering if I can also move components of my components page in project A to a dedicated new project, while keeping them linked? Right now my component library lives in my project, but since it will be working with different projects as well, I like to have one project with only components, which serves the other projects… 🙂

Hello, I am a designer using Figma. When using the Eyedropper tool, the Color Picker shows RGB values like 255, 255, 255. Is there a way to set it to display HEX values, such as #ffffff, instead?

I’ve been trying to run research sessions (moderated and unmoderated) and I’ve tested a link multiple times with everything working. Then, later, the link just pulls up a blank screen with a count of 0/0 screens. This is delaying our results, making the researchers uncomfortable in front of our test users, and costing us on our testing platform. I’ve seen this topic here before with no answer. My only solution seems to be generating a new link, but that is not a solution, just a workaround. This looks like a bug. My file name, location, and number of pages were not changed. The only thing that was changed was other flows that were unrelated to the one with the tested prototype. Thoughts on that?

I created an autolayout and I’m placing one layer on top of the other, so I hope that the layer is in front of this one. That’s not what’s happening. Even when I select the Bring to front option, it moves my layer below the other one. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi all, A bit of a novice here; i must have clicked something and now have this white box or maybe I made things transparent. I’m not sure, but I would love to know what I did wrong so I can fix it in the future! Thanks!

Any libraries are not published (gray button) and not imported. I have two teams, and this is not working for any of my teams. What happened?

Hello! Lately I have been having problems with comments in figma app. Once the comment is added I cannot see it in the file unless I reload the app. It is really wasting the time for the team work. Please let me know if you could take a look into this bug. Thanks

Hello, Comments are missing in Figma. Some of my team comments disappeared and Client comments are missing. Design documents
