In order to save time and effort for the development team, i’d like the SVG exported file to show the colors as customized fields. For example: I’d like to be able to define a color with a name. So that in the SVG code for example, the #31567A (in BOLD) will show “#Primarycolor” and #0575E5 (in BOLD italic) will show “#Seconderycolor”. This will allow automation of implementation of design.

I was thinking about dynamic lock screens and Al in phones. They feel something really new specially dynamic lock screen and useful but do you think they are the best tech trends this year or is there something else excitiing

Why when I copy paste a variant, it becomes a component, rather than an instance?

I just updated Figma and now the show/hide properties for elements within a component are missing. For example, I used to could apply a layer property to text that could edit the text directly in the component instance and now that’s not available in the interface. Also I could apply a layer property to a nested component to show/hide that component and it’s not available anymore. The only available nested component properties are instance swap.

Hi, i have multiple layer with the same name. In nested text layers i have the right naming and I want to rename the main layer same name as the nested text layer, is there a way to do this?

Two key issues. The CSV download is just giving a total count and insert percentage. That is not helpful. Need to be able to download the granular data. Else why have the CSV download option, in the first place? Why filter only 30 ,60 90 days? We will be multiple sprints down by that time. Need a weekly and daily view as well.

I had a file I have been using for years. It was large with lots of images. I have just logged in and can’t find it. I don’t have much in Figma, so its very obvious its missing. There is nothing under trash. Last time I used the file for approx 3 weeks ago. I have no email from Figma, so nothing about errors or deletion or inactivitiy. The file is very very important to me due to the work gone in to it. I raised a ticket but due to my plan, it advises I seek support here. Can someone assist me, this is very frustrating and concerning. Thank you in advance.

Hi, is there a plugin or feature to auto re-export assets whenever there is a change to the asset? Photoshop has it with its generator feature and so does Affinity designer. Just curious as it would make it so much easier than manually reselecting every asset that has changed and redoing the export dance. Thanks!

im already apply for student and got verified, but why im still on Starter plan?

Hi there, I have linked the education plan to the wrong email address. I meant the link the education plan to different one, how can i remove the education plan from this account? Thanks

Is there anyway to tell what plan does my company uses? Is there a way for 2 members to be on " Professinal " and the admins on " Enterprise " or " Organization " plans ? Or if the team is on professinal, then everyone is on professional ? Is there anyway to tell what plan are we on ? Thanks

I have two prototype iframes integrated into my application. Both are sending events to the parent window using postMessage. However, I am struggling to identify which iframe (or prototype) is the source of a specific event because the messages only contain information like node-id and event type. The issue is that event.source points to the iframe, but since the iframes are cross-origin, I can’t reliably distinguish which one is sending the message. How can I determine the source of these messages? Ideally, I’d like to map each message to its corresponding iframe or prototype. Any suggestions or best practices for handling this kind of situation?

Having a weird issue in one of my Figma files, that I think is likely caused by a collaborator missing fonts and I’m unsure how to fix it. Despite having the font installed whenever I select text in a file (any page) It is automatically updating to a different font. This occurred after inviting a few folks to jam on a file and they may have been missing the font. Since then, every text box is automatically updating the font to replace the one that was set, with the new one that was being used during the collab. Is there a default setting somewhere I can change to fix this?

No me está dejando subir videos a Figma. Anteriormente no había tenido ningún problema, pero a partir de esta actualización me aparece un mensaje: “Error uploading video. Please try again.” y luego aparece otro mensaje: “An invalid video was removed”. El video que intento subir está en MP4 y es menor a 2MB.

What is the normal size for a Figma file to open without extra loading?

hola, de golpe se dejan de visualizar los componentes dentro de una section… no se visualizan en el frame, como que se ocultan pero siguen apareciendo en el panel izquierdo. Lo cual nos obliga a volver a otras versiones

When posting a visual created on Figma to Instagram, random white lines appear along the edges of the image, despite it being fully stretched within the frame. These lines are not visible in the preview of the image within Figma or on any pre-upload screens. However, they consistently show up after the image is posted to Instagram. I always export in PNG and have never had an issue like this before, so why is this happening?

Hello everyone. I trying Figma prototypes with variables but it is harder a bit. 😦 I have a question. I prepared a slider with 4 images switching. I set a variable for these four images for a button to switch from 1st to 2nd each time. but it does not switch from the 4th image to the 1st image, it jumps to the 2nd image. So it does not return to the beginning. Where am I making a mistake? How can i restart my prototype? how can i jumpt to the 4th (cannibal) to first image? (vermithor) Link is here: https://www.figma.com/design/KduhSxXaT4wiRmAo6xQQUx/Dragon-Index?node-id=1-4&t=NWmwefdKKdeNT0lp-1 And video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TyxDorY2Ig And also my variables is here:

Hi, my problem was the same like here: “Change Variant of a component from a different component” Change variant of a component from a different component @tank666 sent me a very helpful visual step by step video for this solution after i asked for that. BIG THANKS FOR THAT!!! So far, it works. But it don’t works with nested instances within a component. It seems that Figma has no solution for that at the moment. Is there a smart workaround to bind a variable in a nested instance within a component or to have the same effect to swap a state of different component? Best regards

Hi, I recently switched the color profile to Display P3 for the first time, just to try it out. Now, when I try to switch back, Figma won’t let me. It keeps reverting to Display P3 every time I attempt to change it. Could you help me with this?

Working on a project… and now it’s local libraries means both really local and the parent is also local? It seems added (a thumbnail in libraries) and yet I can’t choose it when placing an element for swap instance (an icon). I choose from local but I have no idea where the icon comes from (also, a dark icon on a dark background in dark UI is a mess). BTW is there yet a good way without plugin, to look for library conflicts meaning I don’t want some particular library used? I saw something like automatic change but it works like it wants… And what is “preferred”? How does it know which one is the preferred library? What an IDIOCY. What a nightmare, constant problems, constant lack of logic is Figma to work with OMGGGGGG… 20 years in design and I can’t freaking work out automatization in my work.

Hi, we are trying to develop a prototype for a Chatbot and want to run an usability test. Therefore we want to try to simulate the functionality as good as possible. I hoped that there might be a functionality to add new Components (i.e. new Chat Bubbles) if the user Clicks on the Input Field (of course it would not be functional but we imagine a behavior, where the user can choose between a few dialog options). We tried hiding the (pre-created) chat bubbles and showing them onclick, which works fine, but does not allow for looping (i.e. the user to return to a previous state of conversation) Does any of you know of a solution to this problem or do you maybe have any other suggestions what we could try?

Hi all, Is there a way to export text emojis as a svg file? When I try to export it, the emoji just turns into a square block of the text’s fill color. What it should look like: What it actually looks like:
