scroll bar related animation works well in its individual frame, but it doesn’t work well when that frame is added in a nested frame…is there something im missing or doing something wrong.

Hi, @community_support Urgent! I changed my e-mail in my Figma account about 14 days ago, which worked without any problems. Now there was an urgent update of my plugin and the release of a new plugin. When I tried to publish it, I got the message Fix errors before publishing We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin Which I did a few days ago. After various queries about my person and what I have done in Figma, unfortunately there is no reply. Since 2 days there is no answer at all,… What do I have to do to put a new version of the plugin on Figma again?

What I mean is, I create frames, blah blah and then, instead of linking them here and now, is there a way to somehow create a synced copy/mirror of those frames in some other place so if you create connections, it uses objects from the design but on this copy - mirror? And it would update live, of course if you remove an object, the connection goes away. One idea is to create a component out of the whole frame and just instance it… but I feel this is not the right way. Has anyone ever thought about his too?

мне удобно выравнивать элементы по линейке, иногда мне нужно смотреть на дизайн 1 к 1, без боковых панелей, тогда я нажимаю ctrl + . Однако Очень часто мне нужно видеть линейки, когда боковые панели скрыты. Но линейки скрываются вместе с панелями

Hi everyone, I’m working on a scroll triggered animation for a landing page, where the frame (containing video) in the hero section increases in size and takes up entire space when the scroll bar is dragged. While i was practicing this animation it worked, but when i added this ‘hero section’ frame in my main ‘landing page’ frame and then checked in prototyping mode, the scroll bar does not respond. Can anyone help with this ? Thanks! Dilyse.

Hi everyone ! I hope everybody’s well. Here’s my subject : i’m working on a “bento design” and i have an issue with my prototype : when i play it for the first time, the navigation keep resizing the screen in the top left corner before getting back to normal (which make the experience nauseous and feeling bugged). BUT once he did this little glitch everything works fine. to give you a bit more info, i’m using a component and 2 interactions in this order : Change to > changing the dot Navigate to > to change the content of screen And the 1st frame inside the main ones : are always named the same are in fill with a min and max width i used exactly the same method for the menu and it’s working just fine I tried to change the order but it doesn’t help and it just delete my dot animation… Anyone already had this problem ? Anyway to fix it ? Thank you all ! Have a nice day

Good afternoon. I can’t access the desktop version. It sends me to the site, but there are no my settings there. I reinstalled - doesn’t help, logged out of my account and logged back in - doesn’t help ((Can you tell me what my problem is?

I noticed when i use the outline stroke option to a text it’s not the same as before where the text is editable and the outlined stroke of the text is also editable but in another layer.

I downloaded code snippet editor and wrote the code snippet for component set. It did propagate correctly to the component instances in the same project, however when I open a component instance in another project, it says no snippet available. My design system project is published and shared with other projects.

Is there going to be a company update on variables any time soon, we are desperately lacking some ux features and improvements? (its still feels like its beta) I keep checking release notes daily for any sign of quality of life improvement in this area (does anyone else feel like this whole area is being ignored?). I see new products coming online like code connect & slides etc, meanwhile I think there are a lot of medium sized orgs with designers in the trenches that probably wont take advantage of these things but could definitely take advantage of some variables QOL improvements. Rant over

Is there a way to control plugin access permissions for users in my enterprise workspace? Since my plugin is still in the beta stage, I don’t want all enterprise users to be able to use it before the official rollout.

Hi, since a couple of weeks Figma is not working properly, it’s too slow, every click is painfully slow, and it happens all over my team worldwide, on Mac iOS or in windows, VPN or no VPN, we deleted cache and Desktop profiles as indicated here in the forums and still too slow, please advise.

Since the update, can no longer define the height and dimensions of shapes, as the text field is now a dropdown. It’s not always possible to resize manually.Is there a work around for this?

When I select an element and create a group or apply the Auto Layout, the rotation property is set to 180 degrees. This occurs whether I select a single element or multiple elements. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I searched the forum but couldn’t find any posts about this issue. this is normal this is group this is auto layout

What size would I make at Frame for the iPhone 15 Plus? I’m not seeing in the preset list.

I can’t move multiply dots using right the panel in edit mode. When i try to do this the whole vector moves . But i still can move single dots. In the latest versions this was possible, I will be glad if you fix it. P.s. i would like to attach video, but i am a new user, so i don’t have access to uploads files

I’m a part of a large (~2,000-member) enterprise license in Figma. I was just added to Figma’s UI3 and AI beta, and I’m receiving this message when I open the Actions panel saying I’m “not a member” of my organization and therefore cannot access AI features. It isn’t saying the organization has disabled AI features, but that I’m not a part of the organization at all (which I definitely am). I double-checked my account info, and I’m 100% a part of the organization with full design seat access. Oddly enough, Figma Slides’ “Adjust tone” AI feature is accessible to me, but no AI features are available in my design files.

Yesterday showed new AI feature in my Figma and i worked but today not showing new AI feature, I tried click on previous UI and New UI but still not showing.

Hello! Please help! After the update on October 10, both the desktop application and the browser began to slow down very much. Screens are freeze. MacOS Big Sure, 16 GB memory, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB. Tell me please what is the reason?

Hi, Im struggling to find a way to connect a Local Variable Boolean I have made to a component. As I want my sort by Dropdown Categories to make some items visible and some items not when clicked. Attached images of the files to help!

I have a wide design (horizontal scrolling) so I’m trying to get my prototype to automatically fill the browser window height, but the only options Figma gives me are to “fit width” or “fill screen”… both of which shows the entire long design, which makes the content too small. Is there no option to fit height, to allow horizontal scrolling?

I don’t know if there’s a bug or if I’m just being stupid, but I’ve created some components to act as buttons. The components are: Email and Password, both of which have variants (default state, hover, and pressed). When the user hovers over a button, it changes its state from default to hover (adds a shadow), and when the user clicks on the button, it changes the state from hover to pressed (adds an inner shadow). It also changes their value from false to true (this value ONLY CHANGES if the user clicks on the button). I did this on the Log In screen and added a condition to check if the values for Email and Password are true. If they are, then it proceeds to the HOME screen; if not, an overlay pops up with a message. For some reason, this works halfway: sometimes it works fine, and other times I have to reset the prototype. Anyway, I’ve added THE EXACT SAME LOGIC to other components that I created from scratch, and they just won’t work. They are literally the same type of buttons but

I have set up Collection for 100+ variables. I want to export it, so I can use it elsewhere (I just need this specific collection, not the other collections nor the components within this file, so sharing the library wouldn’t solve my case). However, when starting import/export plugins, I seem to get the following error. I guess I have a faulty ghost variable in there somewhere. Is there a way to locate it without having to redo the entire library?

We’re seeing a difference in how font looks in Figma, and how they appear in the browser. The font size on the site was a lot bolder visually, despite being the exact same size, weight and the exact same font file. It feels very misleading and I’m not sure if maybe this was just an isolated experience because of the font we used. Attaching the screenshot of comparison Font – Grosa, type – woff2 Did anyone else experience this? What could be the issue here? Edited: Added few more Images for better visibility of difference in typography.

Hi, I have the font “Noto Sans” installed on my computer, specifically the Regular, Bold, Italic, and Italic Bold styles. I also have some text styles set up in my library. Additionally, I selected the “Installed by you” option in my design. My question is: when I use the hotkey Command + B to change the text style from Regular to Bold without breaking it, I always get Display Bold instead of Bold. Can anyone help or share their experience? Thank you!
