I searched for this question, but did not find a satisfying answer: I often have a component that is coming from a library and needs to be positioned at a certain position on the screen. I am using anchoring and guides to synchronize positions and make them work well with different component states, but neither position nor anchoring can be set on the original component. So, if the component position changes, I have to again go through all UIs and update it… How do you address this in your documents? Is there a set of features that I missed? Do you create additional wrapper components just for the positioning information? Do you create one for the whole screen, or one for each component?

The new minimize UI feature is great, the UI is minimalist, not in the way while I work and avalaible as soon as I interact with an element, well thought and well executed. I liked the floating panels, they are not the problem they are a scapegoat of other usability issues, I’m sad they’re gone.

Hello all, I have applied blur effects on multiple card layer to achieve the glassmorphism card effect. However, the blur effect works on the first two cards which are ‘touching’ the background image and not the third card. Here is a screenshot of the carousel of cards that I have made. As shown in the image, the first two cards are ‘touching’ the background, and the third card does not ‘touch’ the background as it is outside of the main frame. Upon viewing the prototype, the blur effect on the third card does not appear to be blurred and displays as white blur instead as shown in the image below. If i tweak the width so the third card ‘touches’ the background, then only the blur effect works. Refer to these images below:

Hello Figma Community, where can we see the saved items from community

Hi, I tried to follow the advice given here, but constraints are still not showing in my right tool bar. I double checked and the objects are in a frame, not in a group, I also made sure that the main frame is not in the autolayout mode, so that it doesn’t affect the object inside of it, but either way, nothing changes after switching from layout to autolayout. I also checked in the Prototype section as someone here advised, but still nothing, there is no such option visible there. I tried clicking on both the whole frame and the object alone to try each of the proposed options, but constraints are still not visible. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? 😦 Thanks

I have lost access to my Gmail account, which was linked to my Figma account. Unfortunately this means I can no longer log in to Figma. I’ve created this new account to seek assistance. Could anyone guide me on how to change the email address associated with my Figma account so that I can regain access?

I recently migrated a Figma project that includes a main file and a component library to another account. I downloaded the files and imported them into the new account, then published both the component library and the main file. While everything seems to be working fine initially, I’ve noticed an issue with the components—they don’t appear to be properly linked. For example, if I try to edit a component in the library, the changes don’t reflect in the main file. Additionally, when I try to use the “Go to main component” option, I get the message: “You don’t have access to the file.” Has anyone else encountered this issue? I’d really appreciate any advice or solutions to resolve this. Thanks!

As shown in the figure, the green area is the hot zone that can trigger interaction, which is good, but the “Export” button cannot trigger interaction by clicking the red area

Hello, I mistakenly deleted my team and restored it myself, but some files that I recently made were not restored along with other works, I ask you to help with this problem, these are very important files for me

I don’t see any of the UI updates or the AI for design. I tried to reinstall it again, but it’s still not working.

I had an old account for a company that I have since closed down. I have provided my old email that I used to log in to that account and the back-up email. The ticket number is: ticket #1148274 Kindly review my ticket for the actual details of my account and let me know what I can do to transfer my old files to a new account.

Hello, I noticed that the file named “Minip” has disappeared from my personal Figma account. This project is crucial for my work, and I would like to request assistance in recovering it as soon as possible.

hello, my daugther used Figma to take math lessons she’s got a tablet with a stylet but she can’t write on the documents because she’s only spectator. Her professor tell us that we need to plug a graffic tablet to a computer if she want to write on the documents. she hasen’t got a computer so we are looking for a tips how can use Figma with a normal tablet and be able to write with it on Figma ?

Hi everyone, I’m currently creating a homepage mockup for a website in Figma. I’d like to be able to show what it would look like on mobile and tablet devices, starting from this single mockup. Is it possible to do this, or do I need to create 3 artboards (one for desktop, one for tablet, and one for mobile)? Can Figma’s Auto-layout feature handle this with just one artboard? I think I read an answer about this on a forum, but I’d like to know if it’s still valid as of October 2024. Thank you for your answsers Have a nice day 😉

Hello! I am making a prototype with a “select interests” page very similar to Bumble’s. I am trying to figure out how to make it so that when 3 interests are selected, the rest will change to the deactivated state. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hey there, I can’t seem to find any AI tools in my company’s official account. I have them in my personal account though. Do i have to enable a setting or am i missing something here? To give context, I primarily want the Auto rename feature, Background removal, rewrite etc. TIA

Hi guys! I know this is a super junior question, but how do I edit a phone with a design of mine to look like this? I don’t currently have access to photoshop but if there’s a way on Figma I can it would be so super helpful!! 🙏 🙏

Imagine a container (say a frame) 40 x 40. And, dozens of icons with different aspect ratios and sizes, e.g., 10x20, 30x5, 50x45, etc. I want to setup this frame (or a set of nested frames) such that when I drop an icon inside the inner-most frame, the icon automatically scales proportionately to fill the 40x40 container. So, a 10x20 icon when dropped inside, would automatically become 20x40 (i.e. it would retain the aspect ratio and not exceed the 40x40 limit). I know how to do this manually but am looking for an automatic solution. Would greatly appreciate a solution.

I want to create a Figma library site in Framer where I’ll provide forms components and elements. So I wanted to create a button that will copy the component when clicked and it can be used in a Figma after pasting But I can’t find any guide on how Figma Copy works and how to achieve that. Some example uncoverlab.co figcomponents.com to do so could you please help me with that 🙏🙏🙏

Привет! Радиус угла в моей кнопке не меняется. В чем может быть причина?

I have a problem with the Figma section creation feature this week. When I move an element, the elements start to rotate by themselves, and with each move, they rotate more, and if I try to set the rotation number to 0. I can’t do it and the size of that element will also change. What is the reason?

Hi! Is it possible to set mixed stroke weights for a frame? The following code gives me an error Expected “strokeWeight” to have type number but got object instead const m: IndividualStrokesMixin = { strokeBottomWeight: 1, strokeTopWeight: 2, strokeRightWeight: 1, strokeLeftWeight: 2, }; figma.currentPage.selection[0].strokeWeight = m;

Hello. Let me try to explain myself the best i can. First i have 0 knowledge and background on programming, so excuse me if i don’t refer to things as good as i should. I built a plugin with the help of chatGTP. In short this plugin fetches inside your current selection and retrieves all the styles used, the unstyled colors and fonts. I use it to transfer components between files and reapply the remote styles to their local matching styles. When they anounced Variables, i wanted to implement it to the plugin. So far i managed to list the variables bound to a node and list them in the ui. Then i noticed about the modes, and wanted to retrieve the mode applied to that node, with no look. I tried to fetch inside the whole variable collection and match the hex color of the variable bounded to the hex color of the different modes, and get the mode name by making a comparison. But this solution is not good because various modes can share the same variable value inside. So here i am now, i ha
