I am working on a plugin, that clones some layers and after that I export them as images. Sometimes I get blank image and only setTimeout helps with it. But maybe there’s more elegant method? let nodeToClone:any = layerData.layerData; const bytes = await nodeToClone.exportAsync({ format: 'PNG', constraint: { type: 'SCALE', value: 1 }, }) const image = figma.createImage(bytes) const frame = figma.createFrame() frame.x = layerData.frameX; frame.y = layerData.frameY; frame.resize(layerData.width, layerData.height); const node = figma.createRectangle() frame.appendChild(node); const { width, height } = await image.getSizeAsync() node.resize(width, height); node.x = nodeToClone.absoluteBoundingBox.x - frame.x node.y = nodeToClone.absoluteBoundingBox.y - frame.y node.fills = [ { type: 'IMAGE', imageHash: image.hash, scaleMode: 'FILL' } ]; setTimeout(function() { exportImage(frame,layerData); },150); //THIS CAN EXPOR

When using the nodes endpoint form the REST files API, setting the depth to 0 seems to have no effect. Response comes with all children, as if the depth was not set. Is this the desired behaviour? I was expecting just the node I called. Ofc, I can set depth to 1, but in this use case I could avoid getting a lot of children. Here is the actual url I query: > https://api.figma.com/v1/files/mquoV4EwJmfRiTf61u3JsV/nodes?ids=911:73249&plugin_data=shared&depth=0

I have been working on a file that I just cannot found. I have searched in my drafts, teams and even deleted drafts and nothing. I do have the link to the file and when I click it, it says "This file may be deleted, moved or made unavailable. Try reaching out the file owner. " but I was the owner. Anyone can help? Thank you!

Hi all, Island Toolbar, where I have to search for everything. If I don’t remember the correct name for the action, I won’t be able to work forward. For example, I want to combine two shapes, but I don’t remember the name of the command.

Hey guys, new here! I have a question, I’m looking for the answer and can’tr find it. What are properties used for in a color style? Everyone talks about how to create color styles, but nobody explains properties. I wonder if that’s important to know. I used to design on Xd and this function didn’t exist, so I don’t have a reference point. Thanks for your help!

Since these recent updates, I can mirror but it won’t switch screens anymore. Any one else experiencing this issue?

Hi, I’ve got a Figma plugin I want to create but I need to view the version history of a file. From what I’ve seen in the documentation this isn’t possible yet. Is there plans to let plugin developers see this information any time soon? Thanks!

Hello I’m working on this school project, and for some reason I cannot get this prototype to advance as intended. I uploaded this short clip to youtube so you can see what exactly I’m struggling with. I need it so that once I click on July 4th on the left screen for the flow to navigate to the screen on the right. However, it doesn’t do so, even though I have it set to it. I think the problem is that I have this calendar component set to a different state from the start of the flow. However, I need it to start from that default position, instead of having it from the July subsection at the start. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

I often create straight lines and arrows within my Figma files, however they often disappear, seemingly for no reason. They still appear in the Layers panel and they can be selected within the file, but they are not visible and I can’t make them visible again, no matter what I do. I have to delete them and remake them. Is there any fix for this?

I helped out a teacher with his project but am not allowed to edit anymore. Did anything change? Is it not possible anymore to be also in an EDU Team as a professional plan subscriber?

Hi there, I would like to actually use Figma to do user research, as in come out with user persona and user questions. I also want to use it to do card sorting exercises, and also develop a medium fidelity prototype with a mobile application. So basically I want to take the UX research all the way to the UI design, is this possible with Figma? I am actually quite new to this so appreciate the advice

I’m working on a design project using Figma, and we’re testing a prototype that isn’t on the App Store yet. Does anyone know if there’s a way to install an app on an iPhone from an external source for testing purposes? Any advice on how to get this done without using TestFlight?

I’m trying to create a variant for dense mode of a table and I don’t want to have to completely recreate said dense table to add it as a variant of the standard table. I can no longer select 2 things and “create component set.” Does anyone have a workaround for this or know why they removed it?

Hey! Ive never had this problem before, but since today it has started to add numerous amount of line breaks when i copy/paste text from different sources.

Когда я сделал линию из нижних подчёркиваний и поместил ее во фрейм она почему-то стала тоньше, но когда я ее копирую и переношу в другой фрейм или просто перемещаю внутри этого она становиться толще. Непонимаю как исправить параметры размера и обводки абсолютно идентичны. Помогите

Typefaces that I installed with a Font manager (Fontbase) aren’t showing on Figma. This typefaces DO NOT show on either Web (with Figma Font Installer installed) or with the Figma desktop app. I have tried everything, from unistalling and reinstalling the app to deleting all the Figma files in %appdata% and I still can’t get these Typefaces to show. They show in all other software and design apps like Illustrator and MS Word. Anyone else having the same issue?

I looked in the community and found a couple of related posts, but they’re related to accounts/ownership, and since I’m the account owner and I created the file, I’m baffled here. The inspect panel has disappeared from all my files. I’ve created all of them and never had a problem seeing this panel before (I rely heavily on it). I am logged in (as myself), I appear to be able to fully edit the design of the file, set prototype actions, and so forth. Just no inspect window. They keyboard commands to show it do nothing, it’s not in the menus, it’s just gone. ?

After the last update, working with Variants has become almost impossible. When I select the component set, I can see all properties. But when I select an individual component, I only see one property. Also, selecting multiple components to set e.g. size property is also not possible.
