Hello, I am updating our company’s design system for creating ad mockups so that it’s easier to use. I’ve been consolidating existing components into a component set with variants. This means I’ve been renaming the components so that properties are created when I turn them into a set. The original components were nested, so there was a master component instance inside each component. I detached the master component instances when creating the sets. Someone accidentally published these changes early, and I’ve noticed that existing instances of these components in other files have detached. I could restore a previous version, but I’m trying to avoid having to redo 5 hours of tedious work that I did after the library was published. Based on the info above, why did the instances detach? Is it because I renamed the components, or because of the nested components that I detached? Would restoring a previous version undo the library published changes?

As animações não estão fluidas estão picotando a única que está funcionando é a linear, porém não fica tão natural preciso de ajuda até baixei o app para ver se mudava algo mas não mudou, antes eu conseguia usar essa funcionalidade normalmente, não entendo porque está assim.

There has been a bug in Figma prototyping for a long time. I thought they would resolve it soon as it’s a common use by every designer but I’m having doubts now. Am I the only one who is facing this issue? The lightbox is stretching abnormally in the prototype, but this is not the case in the design file. What’s is going on? I checked the settings but nothing is there.

New to seriously using Figma/doing web design. Trying to change the fonts and I’m about to start pulling hair out. Video to demonstrate what is happening.

My design file seems to have disappeared, i can’t find it anywhere. I found the Prototype in my ‘recents’ but I don’t see the Design file for it anywhere. What am i missing?

Hi, are there any APIs to add users with editor license or remove user’s editor license i.e APIs to maintain user license via APIs? Thanks

Hi Figma Team and Community, I noticed that Figma recently rolled out the new UI3 update, but unfortunately, I haven’t received it yet. I’ve been keeping an eye on my Figma app and have made sure that it’s up to date, but the new interface still hasn’t appeared for me.

I use FigJam to create diagrams or to ine up variations of my designs for stakeholder review. When I export>selection, I want only my image, usually to drop into a slide deck or doc. But FigJam adds big swaths of blank space around my images. So every time I export I have to use a separate graphics tool to crop out the blank space. Is there a way to set the padding? (I tried making grouping my selection into a Section, but that didn’t change the export properties.) Figma people, please let us set the level of padding in FigJam exports. If you can’t do that, please just set the padding to 0 or 1 px. If I need to frame the image, I’ll add the padding myself. (Having you add the frame is pointless because I’m always going to want to control the width anyway.)

Why is it that in my present view, the screen is kind of zoomed out from the mockup screen, whereas when I put it in preview mode, the screen size actually matches the frame size (430 width -IPhone14 and 15 promax frame). How do I fix this?

I try to open a file and it keeps loading forever. In the browser console I get the following error.

Having this issue, where the components are keep getting changed and upon clicking it is getting back to normal.

Hello, I’m a developer and a bit of a newbie regarding Figma. I’ve been using it for a while now, and so far it has worked great. However, a few days ago, I suddenly became unable to copy image links in the property panel or interact with anything in the property panel at all in all shared projects?. It just automatically copies the names of properties to the clipboard instead of allowing interaction. The same thing happens when I try to download images—it just copies the name of the file instead of letting me access the link. Did I unknowingly turned on some sort of feature? How do I acess images?

Hi everyone How to import Figma designs into WordPress for our blog website. this website https://www.ravi-gupta.com/

I’m new to Figma and appreciate the properties feature (for buttons with primary, secondary, with/without icons, etc.) and the ability to switch between modes, like dark mode, easily. However, I’m struggling with understanding how to add states (like hover, pressed, etc.) to all the buttons in the Relume Figma kit. There are now 54 buttons (considering all the different variants), and adding three additional states would increase the complexity significantly. Is there an efficient way to manage this, or is there already a solution I might have missed? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi I am new in Figma. I made onw web design for desktop now I want to make mobile responsive webdesign. So, I want to know what basic pixel size I have to take for basic mobile design (360x640) or (360x800).

as of 6. september 2024 - clicking on button “Open in Figma” still opens some different file, not the one intended to share. how about fix it this year?

Hello to everyone! I’d like to ask for help in order to manage a nested instance in one of my components. I’m designing a new property with variables in which a component like an action-button, an icon-button, or an input-select can show a nested dropdown instead of putting the dropdown in my screens with absolute position. The property is simple, just a boolean applied to a nested dropdown in my components: The situation showed in these 2 screenshots is the best that I came up with and solve the majority of situations. However, what happens when a nested dropdown is set to visible in a select is that the dropdown does not follow the width of the parent component: This happens because the nested dropdown has an absolute position due to the alignment that has to respect. Of course on developer side this issue does not exist, but is still present in Figma. So the question is → Is there a solution for my problem? How could I address this and fix the building of this components? Thanks

When I try to import published component into current file in Figma plugin with importComponentByKeyAsync plugin api, Figma is lagging or even freezing and I’m not able to do any operations (like manually create frame or drag layers around) during the import. It seems that importComponentByKeyAsync is not asynchronous at all. Has anyone experienced this before or has any insights about this problem？ Thanks so much.

For example: $19.99 /month separate it into two layers where $19.99 is one layer and /month is another

Hello Figma Community, I downloaded an icon pack with 4000 icons. I want to add a frame to each icon and make them components, but the icon names got changed like “Frame 1” and so on… So, in short, I would like to rename each parent layer(frame) based on the text of the child layer (icon name). Is there a way to automate this process in Figma? Any solutions or plugin recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

How i solve this problem because the bill amount is so high if i am not able to solve this may be i am gonna lose my job

In a list of design files some have a black “pen” icon while others have a blue one. What is the difference? When these files are opened those with a blue icon use this as the tab’s favicon, while those with a black icon use a different tab favicon entirely (the “library” icon). At first I thought this might be because of pending library updates but that’s not the case, so what explains the difference?

When I preview my project it stops properly working with the last rows of frames (its a big project). It wil jump back to the first frame of this kind instead of going forward. I tried everything but it just wont work and I’ve got a deadline of friday morning. Another problem I have is that interactions wont work, no matter if I replace them. They only work when I open the preview on the frame that wasn’t working. So in summary I’ve got lots of problems with the interactions which makes it not work the way it should, these problems only show up in the last 2 rows of frames. I hope someone can help me!

Please Bring back those custom cursors it changed the way we work with a little fun touch.

ive created few pages in Figma only the last pge with a4 and 1 rectangle frame is exported except all are not exported at all
