Hi, I’m wondering if anyone figured out how to have a frame that adapts to the height of the content but respects the grid? This is what I’m trying to achieve:

how do I divide sections into 2 or 3 or 4? Usually in CSS you use percentage 😕 Using auto-layout and setting min-max with doesn’t seem to be the solution. In the image there are 5 Cards/Containers and what I want is them to take like (100% / 3) width and in some cases 50%.

Hi all, I’m wondering if there is a workaround to add a print function in a Figma prototype. I would like to have a button to print a page within the prototype, or possibly link to an html page that prints on command. I’m new to coding so let me know if this is possible or not! Thanks!

Hi, I made my beautiful lace overlay to go over the dresses as you can see in this animation: animation 🙂 However, everytime I roll over the overlay, my marquee text on the top resets. How do I avoid this? I want the marquee text to keep going even after the lace border is up.

Hello there, I am creating a script to implement our design system tokens in our Figma files. So I am using the variables API. It works when I created variables with values like COLORS/FLOAT but when I am trying to add alias to another variable it didn’t work. My first question is, which id should I use to link another variable to it. On this screenshot: "id" or "subscribed_id"? To explain my situation, I have two files, A and B. File A contains many variables and I want to link my variables in file B to the variables in file A. The library in file A is published and added to file B. In file A, when I retrieve the published variables, I find my variable: "VariableID:62:47": { "id": "VariableID:62:47", "subscribed_id": "VariableID:f42c18f818106af0843093aaf39f8f68705af7f0/1403:183", "name": "border-radius/0", "key": "f42c18f818106af0843093aaf39f8f68705af7f0", "variableCollectionId": "VariableColl

Hi, I ran into some trouble when creating a design system. The main component has 2 variants (closed/open). When it’s open, it shows a nested component. Swapping the instance of this nested component works OK when the prototype starts in “open” state (when the nested component is shown) but displays the original instance when starting in “closed” state. I made a little video : figma - prototype behavior with swapped component in variant How am I supposed to achieve this ? Best, Matthieu

Hey everybody Im creating a component using “after delay” and even though its not grayed out and i can add it normally, when i go to preview mode, it doesnt work!! Ive been trying it for a few days now with different components but it never works. Does anyone know ther reason? Thanks

Hi! I’m not sure what caused this, but I’ve stopped having the automatic color token change automatically work inside the document when changing the mode for the outer frame that contains the components. I created color tokens for light and dark theme. But when I change the overall appearence, the components inside change color only partially (like border becomes dark, but not the text). They have the appearence property set to Auto by default, but they only see Light in it, even though the outer container is set to Dark

I’ve created a flides template for my team to use but whenever any of the slides is inserted from the template (or all of the slides at one time) the file freezes up and nothing happens. My team and myself have all been experiencing this issue. Somethings that I suspect might be causing issues: fonts that have to be installed on device images complex svgs animated component from Figma file I built it off of the stock “Light slides” by Figma I’ve gone as far as deleting all the slides and republishing a simple slide with arial text and it still freezes. I’ve also attempted to copy paste a full slide and that freezes the file. It does work to copy past the elements from a slide though but not the full slide. Has anyone had similar issues? Have you found a solution to inserting slides via copy paste or inserting via template?

There is no menu action (minimize, fullscreen and close button) help me for that

I sometimes make a master component of a whole page and then create instances with variations to display different states on the same page. But when I do, the name of the instance is not displayed, and this makes it harder to understand what state the page represents.

Hello! I need some assistance. For a while now, a bug similar to the one in the photo has been appearing in the project when using the dark theme. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing it?

Hi, We have used Font Awesome icons in our designs. The developers are unable to identify the icons that are used on the design as it does not show the unicode in the properties. And our design team is not able to identify the icons either as the icon names are not displayed anywhere. Copying the glyph and pasting in FontAwesome does not work. We have a lot of icons used in the file and we really need a solution for this. Can you please help? Thanks!

Is it possible to prototype multiple drag-and-drop instances in the same frame? I’ve already created a basic flow with one component across three frames. Can I drag multiple elements up and down within the same frame without duplicating the process for each?

How do I do that? The same question is posted here: Keep frames align to top in Presentation mode It was closed without being solved for some reason. Pages don’t have a ‘Constraints’ option. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

I create a project as a “design system”, one part is icons, other one is table and etc. i use icons in my table and then i use table in other Figma project . the problem is: the icons in table are reseting to their default value every time I open the project and I don’t know why

Hi all, I know the variables feature is in Beta and may be buggy still. Dark mode prototyping seems to be broken for me completely. Although the designs show up correctly, the prototyping components revert to the light mode randomly. Anyone else face the same issue?

I got an email saying my education plan is expiring in 4 weeks, but I never signed up for that plan. I signed up for the starter plan. Do I have to upgrade my plan to keep my projects? Is there a plan that is just for me, since I’m not working with anyone else on my projects?

Hi. Is the Figma Pro plan suitable, For 35 editors and are there any limitations and should I consider other plans?

It seems like my design system published with the file but fonts are colors are somehow not visible. Is there a way to make it visible in my file?

Chatgpt now has a awesome feature named “Working with Apps”, and now is available for xcode chatgpt can read the content inside xcode, and provide answer base on it. Try to image if Figma can also support that. I can just ask chatgpt to provide wording advice during my design workflow, it will be very useful. 😀
