I can’t even make a simple logo bar that shows logo’s slowly scrolling. With 10 sec cap the logo’s fly like crazy. It seems like a pointless man-made barrier to me. Please remove it or move it up like to a minute or something, just to be on the safe side.

Подскажите, где теперь найти слои (Layer)?

Hey, I have created a copy of frame on which I have the same objects. When I applied autolayout on these two same frame, both react differently. One frame change the position of the objects while other does not change the position, for clarification, here is the video.

Hello! I’m working on a project and was wondering if I could import my project via link or HTML into Figma? The project is complete on Uizard but I don’t want to start all over in Figma. The project is an app prototype. Thanks

Hello! I accidentally deleted a project with files in it. All the files were supposed to be moved to deleted drafts, but one of them hasn`t. I can’t find this file in my deleted drafts. Also, everyone who had access to edit this file has checked their deleted drafts and did not find this file. Is there anything I can do about this? 🥲

Not the best name I know, but I need the ability to create a new branch from another branch. Right now I have a Main Figma file with my main Product flows and a design system (library) that powers it. I create branches from the main file to derive the main UX, flows and screens from the main file but with some customisation for each client I have. The branches are exactly what I need - these are my draft (WIP) files. But… For handoff it would be awesome to have the Final versions for each client, that way developers and stakeholders can view the latest work and implement (without any sudden changes) and I can also present to stakeholders with confidence that the FINAL work is not going to be messes with by me or any other designers. But at the same time, if there were sub branches it would make it SOOOO much easier to update the sub-branch figma file with the updates coming from the branch/parent file without having to manually select frames and paste them in separate files. Pretty ple

Some time in the last few days, it seems I can no longer user ‘command-z’ or control-z on a mac laptop to undo an action. I looked online and found recommendations to go to help → keyboard shortcuts → Layout and make sure it’s set to US Qwerty. It is already set to this. And when I go through the other optioons within that help section, I see no option for ‘undo’ - I’d expect to see it under ‘Edit’, but only see, copy, cut, paste, and other functions

I have been unable to view my design…it keeps loading and loading and never works

We are undertaking a jamboard import… For accessibility reasons the ‘extreme scroll’ to zoom in with all info in one ‘infinite’ screen is overwhelming for our learners and often leaves them unclear which area to type into. this is why we have never used miro. Is there a feature of FigJam which allows for a more ‘slide’ like appearance the way jamboard does?

Bonjour je ne parviens pas à retrouver les pathfinders (union/extract…) dans la nouvelle config . Quelqu’un peut il m’aider?

Our team is using the Tokens Studio plugin, and looking to shift to Figma Variables as our starting point. Part of this is being able to start with Figma Variables, and use the “Import Variables” feature of the Tokens Studio plugin. The limitation is on the Figma side, namely with the types supported, and what’s available via the API. I will elaborate. I have a beautifully crafted set of Figma Variables that I need to automate getting into Tokens Studio so we can sync tokens to our code repository and transform into various export formats. Because of the limitation of only 4 types available in Figma Variables, any token values with units (i.e. “5px”) have to be of type “String”, which, when imported in Tokens Studio, sets them all as “Text”. In my testing, all the following tokens that have proper types in Tokens Studio land as “Text”: border radius border width font family line height font size text case space If we look at the w3c spec, the types that should be used for these primi

Hey there, we are having a very unique use case of populating a Figma template with production data and sharing prototypes and storing the raw the Figma file canvases. Need some help with the approach to build plugins and storing, creating Figma templates, prototypes as a link and store files as and when report is generated. Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone. I have some prototyping problem…so… I’m trying to prototype header text with sections below. What I did is I made text component with 2 variants. Variant 1 is hover state and Variant 2 is colored changed text. Essentially there is same text in 3 different colours. I prototyped “White text” to hover version: (“White text”-Whine hovering-Change to-“Light gray text”)…and it worked perfect. Then I prototyped “White text” to clicked version: (‘‘White text’’-On click-Change to-“Yellow text”)…but there’s a problem, it’s not working. I don’t know what am I doing wrong but I want my header text to change color from white to yellow every time I click on it…ex.(When I click on “Download” section it should turn only that text into yellow colour and scroll down to that section. After I click on “About” section it should turn only that text to yellow and scroll to that section). Scrolling function works fine by the way 🙂

Please why is my prototyping preview turning off by itself. Sometime I see black boxes appears on the prototype present screen. What do I do

Hej guys, I have a set of icons, they’re in a main component as variants. All variants have the exact same settings, but still resizing leads to different restults. This also effects the instances, which makes them kind of unusable in other components. I tried literally everything I could think of or found using the search, I tried using groups, frames, auto-layout, all the different auto layout settings, adding strokes, editing the vector, and and and… nothing helps. I’m desperate. This also happens when I throw two scaling/not scaling icons into one variant – one scales fine, the other one refuses to do so 😦

I am a beginner to Figma and when I tried to do auto layout for a button it’s not getting the result and not responsive …so can anyone help me out …!!!

Hi, does anyone know how to split a large template into A4 pages?

I have been encountering the following issue. I have been copying over a frame from one of my Figma Files. Inside the frame you will find image elements as well as text or other graphical elements. I inspect what is stored in the clipboard and make it accessible on a web platform. If I paste it back into my files everything works well. But whenever someone else pastes the content from the clipboard into their Figma all the images are gone. Is there any workaround for this (e.g. by embedding the images differently?) or is this an issue that was never fixxed. Side Note: I am aware of other topics with this issue but no proper answer can be found in any of those.

Hello everyone, Hope I will not bother you all with my question. I have to do a Card Swipe for my project. I have follow so many tutorials on Youtube but it still doesn’t work. I hope I will be able to correctly describe what I’ve done. (Sorry for all the language mistakes, you know French people …) The main technique i’ve found was to create 3 frame. The middle one has the image A, the side two has both the image B. They are all the exact same size, and at the exact same place on the frame. The text and the image are surronded by a square (just to look like a simple card), and they are grouped together. When you grab the card A (middle one) to the left, it should turn blue, and then disappear. To do so, i’ve put a blue A card on my left frame, but outside the real frame, it’s a part of it, but not visible. This left frame contains the next card (image B), let’s call it #FrameBl. When you grab the card A, to the right side, it should turn orange, and then disappear. I’ve done the exact

Hi Everyone, I am trying to have a collapsible bottom navigation bar. The collapse works as expected when it is a top navigation bar or a menu item on left side. It looks like the collapse seems to work correctly only if it is on the left side or the top, but not on the right or bottom. I am attaching simple animations to show the problem. https://www.figma.com/design/2NQn0IcUKyWVeKLzCgXaN8/Untitled?t=Wy4JRe7NR8gJGcgl-1 Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks a bunch !

Good day guys. I’m new to Figma and lately I’ve been working on a project. After finishing with the design I continue to prototype, but there is a particular frame I’ve been trying to reconnect to the main frame. Is like clicking on the logo in the header so that the website can reload back to top. But it’s not working. Each time I try to connect the logo to the frame, it’ll go to a precise rectangle inside the main frame.

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.My design files so not reopen once closed. It keeps showing the loading icon and ‘This file has unsaved changes’ but does not open the file.

I have two questions. The first one is regarding the changes that have been made to this account. I had upgraded to the new version and it has disappeared. The second one, which goes together with the first one, is that I can’t access Figma AI when I used to be able to. And I don’t know if it’s because I have the account as an educator. I have checked everything to have it activated and nothing. Thank you for your attention

Hello Figma supports and Figma enthusiasts alike, I have utilised Figma variables to come up with a technique to “lock” cherrypicked nested properties of a nested component. It’s not really locked, but gives the user a very strong indication that it should not be tampered with. Because Figma (still don’t) allow users to cherrypick what properties to show from a nested component. This technique relies heavily on the “Instance Property Preview”-view from UI2 - but I can’t seem to find the same view in UI3. Is this a UI3 bug, an oversight or simply me not being able to find my way around the new UI3? Nonetheless, for the curious mind, here is a step-by-step guide to the technique (or see the attached image): Create a component (CompA), having a variant property with values “enabled” and “disabled” Create a sub-component (CompB) with the exact same properties, except also having a text property. Duplicate the variant of (CompB) multiple times inside (CompA). Scenario: now you want

I can see old post on this topic, but nothing recently, so I’m hoping good news might be out there. I’m reluctantly switching from Jamboard as it’s about to be shut down. I’m an educator (with an education Figma account), but work with multiple organisations, as well as events where delegates are from different education providers. The use-case I need is for my collaborative documents to be: ‘public’ and ‘anyone can edit’. Jamboard and the other Google tools are brilliant for this. Google has pointed to Figma as Jamboard’s natural replacement. If anyone can help me out, I’d be very grateful. Thank you.
