Henlo Figma ppl! 👋 I’m trying to export a component as SVG, all fine and dandy except when I export it, the dashed strokes don’t appear to be the same as the ones in the design. In Figma, I have this simple box component, exported to SVG, and it looks off, here’s a comparison: Which has dashed lines off, Is this a bug? Anyway for me to fix this? Thank you, and have a nice day! ヾ(￣▽￣) Bye~Bye~

I’d like to clarify a few things: Imagine we have bigdomain.com, and there’s another group using marketing.bigdomain.com that already has an Organization account. Now, I want to create my Organization account using the domain bigdomain.com, including everything that is *.bigdomain.com. Can the existing marketing.bigdomain.com account join our teams, and will they have access to our bigdomain.com organization’s libraries? Can bigdomain.com share a design system with someone in marketing.bigdomain.com without making them an “editor” in one of our teams? Who covers the costs? If they already pay through their organization marketing.bigdomain.com, will bigdomain.com also has to pay? What about a “Guest” with a Professional account? Do we need to pay for them to join one of our teams in bigdomain.com? I appreciate your guidance. Figma’s support has been slow to respond, despite my multiple emails.

I recently switched to using Variables in my design system and now applying new variables to components is a tedious process, especially when it comes to specifying the border (stroke) widths using variables. The variables icon appears only if one selects a custom set of strokes for an element and only after applying the same variable to each stroke position (top, left, right, bottom) the main stroke width input magically supports variables.

All the sudden, certain hover flows take secs to complete while others remain quick. Anyone know why this is happening? I checked to see if the new Figma design added a delay to hover events and theres nothing there. My interaction is set to instant. Here’s a video of it: Screen Recording 2024-10-15 at 12.45.16 PM.mov - Google Drive

Hi, I have created a new account for my school, and added students to the team I have created 10 days ago, but it says ‘You Education Plan’ is expired. I have filled in the form and verified work mailid and still the same issue. Please advise.

Every time I try to switch page in the file, it works, but the console shows: jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x22c77 Uncaught (in promise) RuntimeError: table index is out of bounds at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x22c77 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x2313f at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x3a412 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x26724 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x33106 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x2c352 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x2bab3 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x11f6 at jsvm-cpp.wasm.br:0x6188 at 7107-0a61d720624d64e…min.js.br:820:12443 the code i use: figma .setCurrentPageAsync(myPageNode) .then(() => { console.log("Set the page OK"); }) .catch((error) => { console.error("Error setting the page:", error); figma.notify(`Error setting the page: ${error}`, { timeout: 5000 }); });

I applied for Figma AI via form but didn’t get the access. What can I do to get it?

Hello Team, Is there any issue with the Figma app on the desktop app? I added the Figma app from teams app store. When i click on connect your account there is an error something went wrong. please try again.

Sorry, I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find an answer to my specific question. I want my clients to be able to collaborate on my FigJam board. I do not want them to be able to delete boards and elements which seems to be what happens when you give them edit access. I don’t want to have to send every single person an invite live during the meeting as they are unlikely to click on the link before the meeting. I want to just provide the link to the FigJam board in the meeting. The thing is that that seems to allow them to only view the board, not collaborate on it. So net-net: edit is too much, view is not enough. What nuance about permissions might I be missing?

I was deleting a file and somehow another file just got disappeared. Can’t seem to find that in trash sections as well. Is there any other way to search that? Assuming I mistook the file and and deleted it and permanently trashed it. Is there any way to recover it? Thanks in advance.

Today, Figma switched me to the new UI3. At first I kind of liked it, but a few seconds later I realized I can no longer hide just the left panel (Shift+\ in the old UI) while keeping the right panel visible — now it’s “all or nothing” style. Disabled the new UI immediately and won’t switch back until this particular feature is restored. Anyone else feel the same?

I’m working on a proof-of-concept to generate code using our internal design system components for Figma designs. I’ve successfully linked our design system to a feature design file in Figma. Now, I want to confirm whether the Figma API will return data about these linked design system components. Specifically, I’m interested in whether the API response will reflect the relationship between the feature design elements and the underlying design system components, similar to how the relationship is displayed in the Figma inspect panel. Essentially, I need to know if the API provides enough information to identify which design system components are used within the feature design.

I applied for student status, but the process failed a few times. It looks like it had passed at the end, but I haven’t got any confirmation. My account now shows: “You’re verified…” Does that mean that the verification has passed? Can I create a team and start using it?

I can’t find Figma AI option to my system. Can you please help me with that?

I have all similar issues here, very frustrating. It appears that Figma just isn’t designed to be usable within Firefox? Even using the native Windows Figma app will then prompt me to sign in on Firefox, and that sign in page is unusable.

I have been having this issue for the past few days. The screen blinks and then its almost like everyhting is reloading slowly back up.

I tried to import some screenshots but end up like this…

I am trying to create a slider that moves freely. i have created a slider with 5 stops (speeds). I have to drag to each stop in order, but i would like to be able to click and select the speed. For example, i would like to click on speed 2 then be able to jump to speed 5 by either dragging to or clicking on the 5. Any ideas?

What if all the built-in AI features will be unavailable in the Figma-free plan after this year? Do you know if the users of the student plan can still be accessed next year?

Hi guys! I am working on a plugin right now that checks our icons for the fills. Using the Node Inspector plugin, I can easily see that when using styles, there’s a fillStyleId property. But couldn’t find the same for variables. Can someone help me with on how can I find them if they exist?

Hello. I recently received an email in which they warned me that my Education License would expire. I want to renew it so I can access my projects, but my university doesn’t appear on the menu dropdown. I also can’t change my email to my university one because it automatically redirects to the actual renewing page. What can I do?

Hello! I created this component with a list item text box and a button inside a tooltip I want to be able to add more list items in an instance of the component depending on the content of the tooltip, but it’s saying that pasting is not allowed in the instance due to the tooltip being a component, so in an instance I can’t copy the list item to add a new line to the list auto-layout Is there a way to fix this? The text box, button, and the tooltip with both are all separate components

UI3 added some improvements to editing interactions, like a resizable window, but also made other things much harder. For example, if I have a statement like… If myVar > 0 and myOtherVar == true …and I need to replace myVar with myNewVar I used to be able to simply place the insertion point after myVar or use the arrow keys to move it there, delete myVar and type or pick it’s replacement. Now Figma refuses to let me do this. Instead highlighting myVar and offering up a menu of modes. If I delete myVar it then refuses to put the insertion point before the == I now have to delete the whole statement and retype it. Am I missing something here?
