I am looking for the best was to swap icons in a design system library with icons from another library. basically I have a design system library with icons but I want to replace all those icons with newer icon set. The swap library only matched the same ones but the new icon library I have has many more new icons that are not in the original library. Thought? Plug-ins?

I have an image with a logo on it and a transparent background. I want to cut out the shape of the logo on a black square. I’m able to use boolean to do that with the text, but when i do it with the image it cuts out a whole square. Is it possible to cut out just the shape of the logo? (I want to see through the black square in the shape of the logo i have)

I created a mobile menu with an accordion but when I expand it I’m unable to scroll down through the menu on my cell phone in safari. The frame is in auto layout as well but even when the accordion drop down is closed the frame won’t scroll down. All other auto layour accordion menus work on the phone except for frames of this size. The menu appears cut off but I can scroll through the other pages which are longer frames. Is this a safari issue? I just find it strange that the other work with their sizing. I appreciate all the help everyone has given me on here and I apologize for so many questions lately!

There is this Help article (https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039481134-Transfer-ownership-of-a-team), but it only covers the scenario when the original owner has access. But how can admins take ownership of a team or give it to an existing user when the original owner is no longer part of the organisation (account removed) and teams show no owner at all? There is no “Owner” to select from member access settings, even for admins.

Good day, probably a month ago when an update came out, when all drafts could be sent to a specific project, I was sorting projects, and it seems that I deleted the page that I needed, I thought I didn’t delete it but I can’t find it, I have a link to the project, please tell me if it is possible to restore it? What are the options in this case? https://www.figma.com/file/Vwsb6egagYBCXXLJmRIYz3/find-page?node-id=0%3A1

I’m wondering if anyone has a file that shows the correct way to set up / organize typography primitives / styles for both desktop and mobile and how styles and variables work together. I’ve had a look in the community and not finding anything robust. Thanks!

Hello, I’ve been teaching a UX/UI course at the University of Pennsylvania for the past few years, a critical part of which is teaching students how to use Figma for all aspects of the product design process. The rollout of UI3 has been presenting a host of issues in this new semester. I still do not have the new UI available in my account. As an instructor, this means I cannot use it myself to properly update my materials and help students troubleshoot its usage. Half of my students are able to revert to the old UI, but all students who have newly created accounts are unable to do so. This effectively means half of my students are using the new UI, and half are not. All of our materials and tutorials are based on the old UI, and already this is presenting a lot of confusion. Is there a way to prioritize the rollout of the new UI to my account, so that I can effectively teach my students? I’m concerned that these issues will only compound as we continue to learn more complex function

I need to way change my package from premuime to free

When opening an overlay that is a side sheet on a Desktop prototype there is no way to define this overlay to fit the 100% vertical space. This is very important since the overlay has a sticky bar that should be always visible but on some low-resolution laptops this is not he case. There is no way I can design this in a flexible manner so the high-resolution and low-resolution desktop devices can have an optimal view of the design.

I am trying to get my whole design team using Figma for as many assets as possible. Sometimes we still get requests to make interactive PDFs (think internal HR benefits doc) to be attached to an email. I just need some text (and some graphics) to link out to external sites when clicked. The solutions I have seen posted so far are to not use a PDF and just use a prototype (this will not work for us, for now we still need PDF) or to make a link with text and put it over the graphics with 0% opacity (this makes for a messy, less collaborative file). Is it possible to get what I am looking for or is it a possibility for future Figma releases? I know we are asking a lot of this program…I just love it so much I want to ditch other tools. Thanks!

Hello, I have been working on follows pages for a couple of weeks but I have never been able to switch text colors or fonts. the colours and fonts options are available but when I try to select them nothing changes. Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? Kind regards, Astrid

I made a dropdown component and placed it within a datepicker component where you first have to open the calendar mode, then choose year and month. However, the dropdown wont open properly. Only the open/close chevron sign will rotate. How will I fix this?

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. If I copy the main component and change the symbol, the mask will be broken. (And instance swap is applied to the main component.) Please tell me why.

Hello, I have a problem with my feeds on Figma. I created a feed for each of my 4 mobile screens, and then copied the corresponding links to send to my client. However, when I pass the links to it, only the first one works correctly. The other three redirect to elements of the model present on other pages, which are not at all linked to the flows concerned.

My library colors won’t load today, and I don’t know what the issue is. I’ve tried several tricks, like removing the library and adding it again, but it still won’t load my variables. I’m also on a tight deadline 😦

I have added the published library to the file and I can use components, but I have no any styles and variables added from this library. I’m tight on time, what can I do? I have reloaded all files, Figma, checked for updates etc. but it does not help!

I am using Nunito Sans in one of my files, and I discovered that the weights in Figma do not match the weights in the web version. Here’s an example: Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, After a recent update in FigJam, I’ve noticed that the default setting for lines in mind maps now automatically includes arrows. This wasn’t the case before, and it’s causing some frustration as I prefer using simple, arrow-free lines for my mind maps. Is there a way to change the default line settings so that arrows aren’t automatically added? I’d like to avoid having to manually remove arrows every time I create a new connection. Any tips or solutions would be really helpful!

Hi, I’m wondering why I never get the paragraph spacing button. Its supposed to be under line height button, but whatever I do with my text, it never appears. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot! Daniela

After I presented the prototype, a popup alert on the design file “You don’t have access to this file”. Then I can’t do anything on the file anymore, I have to close the app and open it again to reaccess the file, this happened to me about 2-3 times today.

My Figma is locked even after the payment. What to do?

I can’t access my own file. I am the owner if this file and I have a paid account. I have been using this file for the past 4 hours and suddenly it showed “you don’t have access to this file”.
