All my images are blank and I can’t upload any new images after the update. It was working fine one hour ago. It asked me if I wanted to update to the lastest Figma. I said yes and now none of my pictures work or will let me upload new ones. I am on a deadline so will go back to working in Sketch if this not resolved quickly. I have no time to spend hours trouble shooting this.

Hi, so I need to change educator plan to free starter plan. I actually filled some form on Figma website having this issue and automatic response came back via email, that I actually have starter plan, but others see that they need to have Educator plan to continue editing my projects etc. Can you help me please?

Hi there, I think I sorta get what’s going on, but it’s complicated, and if anyone can explain the specific issue and how to solve it, it’d be much appreciated. I have icons in my design library set up in what’s probably an odd way and that’s probably causing problems - I have a base symbol called Font Awesome Sizing, which is one symbol at 8 different sizes, in different font styles. I then have a library of specific glyphs our team uses - these are made by with new components, that are solely the FAS one, nested, with specific text instead of the generic smile. These are what we use in 99.99% of cases. And it works well! Easy to pick icons, sizing, colors inherit fine. all good…Until we get to prototyping where the icons are nested in more complex symbols. We have a simple icon button here, default state: I can change icons within the variant, and it works perfectly: I have a number of variants set up for the button. Hover. Pressed, etc. : Here’s where the pain comes in. I - Cr

I also have the same problem. Had a free account, but now that company is paying for the license using my same company email, It still says it’s free

Here’s my situation. I’m a designer so I use the Figma file as an editor. My client has banned all external plugins due to security reasons. We are not paying for dev mode at the moment. How can I just find out how many objects on the screen I have selected? That’s all I want to know. It can’t be true that I need a whole plugin just to expose a functionality that I KNOW Figma natively has (now hidden behind a pywall). And I am not paying for Dev Mode just to be able to count my objects. That would be silly. This feels like such a basic thing, it should be displayed by default somewhere when objects are selected. Can someone please tell me there’s something I’m missing and that this is in fact possible?

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?
