Help me deal with the mistake. When I transfer a frame from Figma to protopie, it gives an error. How to fix it and what it can be

I was trying to search for a way to create a group in a variable collection using Figma’s API, but wasn’t able to find something. I tried finding it: figma.variables | Plugin API

I’m having lots of issues with prototype links in Figma. I used to work on XD and it was way simpler (which is weird to say, I know). Anyway, I would like to understand what can possible break a prototype link that is shared with clients. For example, If I remove the flow starting point, will the link stop working? (it has happened to me, I think), if I change a frame name, if I rename a file, will these break the links? Basically, how can a shared prototype link be broken or changed so I avoid doing it. Thanks

Hey community! We’ve been facing some challenges when designing in Figma and developing for different screen resolutions, and we’d love to get your thoughts on it! As you know, Figma’s default frame for desktop is set to 1440px width, but we’ve been running into issues when testing the implementation across different devices. I design using 1920px frames for Full HD (1920x1080), but when our developers tested the layouts on MacBook displays, the results were inconsistent. For example, we designed a grid with 17 blocks on 1920px, but when the dev team tested it, they saw 14 blocks on screens. Overall, my designs are fine and based on 12 columns but when they implement it, on some displays it’s broken and on mine and some (Desktop FHD monitors), it’s fine. 20% of desktop users are using FHD and I can’t accept that my designs are the problem and I should design on 1440px. Our questions are: Why does Figma default to 1440px for desktop designs? Should we be designing for 1440px width and

Frame stopped renaming automatically new frames when they are duplicated

I cannot update new ui version of Figma in Question mark icon Change to new ui is not showing; only older version are available Need help I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling; it’s not working can someone share insights regarding this?

Hi all, We have a professional team plan and we are on the latest version but Command+Z does not working approximately 2 weeks. And we get crazy. 😕 How can we fix this?

WHY if I have, say, 3 frames that are set to “fill”, and I then group and apply an autolayout to that group does it now change those frames to fixed width and the group frame to hug??? SURELY, Figma, the intelligent thing to do would be to keep the selection I originally had, instead of making me click on each effing individual frame and reapply my original choice? I’m spending 10x longer doing anything than I have to. For the love of everything holy, sort it out.

I created a carousel component with multiple cards, the text in the component has no decoration, but when I drag the final component from the Assets tab, I get a strikethrough decoration for all the frame, I may have clicked something by accident that decorated all the text in the frame, how can I undo that please? I can’t do it manually because the frame contains a component with multiple hidden cards (carousel) presentation mode:

Hi, I have created a design system with both dark and light components. However, whenever I drag and drop a light variant component from the library into my work file, it appears as a dark variant. Interestingly, the library thumbnail shows it as a light variant. Can someone please help me on this.

Since a very recent update, I find handwriting to be totally terrible in FigJam for iPad. Untill a few days ago, handwriting was completely fine and I was using it alot to wireframe and draw up quick user flows. Since very recently, the correction FigJam applies on drawings with my Apple Pencil make it so my handwriting is not readably anymore, totally rendering FigJam useless for what I use it most. Has anyone else encountered this? I can’t find any settings controlling the amount of smoothing/correction done? Really sad to see this loss in functionality!

Hi i’m an student of graphic design in Argentina, we’re using Figma for our group class project.

Hello! I’ve been having trouble with my horizontal scroll. I’ve been able to do horizontal scrolling on past projects and have been searching for the past 30 mins to no avail trying to figure out why this instance won’t work. Help! Figma Link

Hello everyone, I don’t know if I am the only one having this problem. So Apr 24, 2024, I bought an annual plan with 1 designer seat and 0 FigJam seats, for which I paid $144.00. after this next month, I got a bill with $0, which is normal because I have annual. but after that, it started. for upcoming months I was charged 3 times $25 and somehow, out of no ware, when I contacted support, they told me that I have 1 design seat added and 2 FigJam. So I told them I wanted to cancel and they told me how to remove it. After this, I removed my card even from the payment. Then on Aug 25, I was charged $0 because everything was removed and my annual plan was continued. But now on Sep 24, I was charged again $20 😃 and in the Invoice, I see that I was charged for 1 seat and 1 FigJam 😃 Does anyone else have the same problem? I don’t use FigJam and when I was buying annual I unchecked them. I removed my card and why was I charged even, should not they ask me to add a card to con

Hello Figma team & users, (Not sure it’s the right forum thread to post this issue/request) Just a thought I have an issue with assets handling (and rights management, etc…). Assets (images) file uploads are renamed by Figma. (Encoded for safe URLs, security and storage I guess) There is no way (as far as I know) to retrieve/or reconvert to the original file name. So… What do you think of adding an API/UI Field 'originalFileName’ Property? This would really alleviate (our) asset management. Or maybe it’s a private API… linked to plug-ins ? How do image banks or DAM reference their file sharing and rights management? Thanks for your attention

If I have a document with some added GIFs, is there a way to access the original GIFs I uploaded via the REST API? I tried the images (/v1/images/:key) and image fills (/v1/files/:key/images) endpoints, but both of those seem to return PNGs of the first frame of the GIF, not the GIF itself. Thanks!

This repetitive undo is truly awful. We really do need a preference setting to omit ‘object selection’ as part of the undo chain! I’ve been a designer for over 25 years, I’ve used and continue to use so many different applications in my workflow. I’ve seen apps change and develop and it’s amazing what can be done these days. But I have never, ever, come across an app that uses undo in this way. It’s so time consuming, pointless, and confusing as to where you are in the journey. I have a team of designers moving to Figma from XD and they are all baffled by this. Here’s a typical example: I have a nested component with layered items. The component has 3 grouped items in it, each group containing 3 or 4 other layereds items. I move the component across the page, and click down into the nested groups to change the colour of an object. Before changing anything, I decide I actually don’t want to move the component across the page. So to simply get the component back to where it was, I now ha

Buenos días! Necesito crear un botón en el footer que me devuelva al inicio. La pagina es una landign, por lo cual solo cuenta con un frame. No lo he podido resolver

I am unable to edit Sprout social free template. Please help.

I am sure that when I used to want to insert a component into a specific frame, I would select the frame, Shift+i, select my component from the insert menu and it would put it in the frame I had selected. Increasingly it seems to just be placing it wherever it likes, which is kind of annoying. In the screenshots below, you can see I have the “Dialog content” frame selected. I bring up the insert menu, choose the textfield component expecting it to appear in the “Dialog content” field, but it instead places it alongside the lower frame with the links. Admittedly I am using an inherited component library which isn’t fantastic, but I would have assumed that Figma would respect the field I have selected?

I am having a bit of trouble with the new Figma app. I have a component and varients that I want to have available as an asset. How to I add a component to assets?
