Hi, I have two .fig files. One was the component library of the other. I was given both .fig files, but all the links between the components were broken. I have master components on one side and component instances on the other, but they no longer have any links together. How can I link them together without having to do it one by one, because otherwise it’s really time-consuming. Can you help me ? It’s possible ? Thank you in advance for your help

When you see the attachment, it shows Local Variables and User Variables that collections I have never used or defined. Any clue to sort this out?

Hi! We were separating out our variables to a global design system from the component library. We are having a issue with getting duplicates in our variables section. We have detached all the components before moving it into a new working file. The issue that we are seeing is in the new working file, we have “used variables” and the variables from our global design system. Is there a way to resolve this issue without going through each component in the new working file? Hope there is a eady way to resolve this!

Hi expert designer. i need to ask if Figma AI features are availabe in UI2 or not?

Hi im trying to implement the code on Figmas fetch to the console example but getting cors errors. I’ve added the domain to the list of allowed domains. Fetch to the console (async () => { const response = await fetch('https://httpbin.org/get?success=true') const json = await response.json() console.log(JSON.stringify(json.args, null, 2)) figma.closePlugin() })() ``` any ideas would be great.

I’ve been trying to contact Figma’s sales team since yesterday regarding unexpected charges and deductions for the premium plan. Despite multiple attempts, I haven’t received any callbacks or emails from their sales or support teams. Every time I call, I’m instructed to press 2 to connect, but when I do, I get an ‘invalid selection, please try again’ message. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does Figma’s sales team even exist?

Heyyy fellow Figs ❤️ 💜 💙 💚. Our content team picked up some double spacing issues on a PDF I had created for a Brand Bible we’re about to launch. Weirdly enough when I opened up my Figma file, double-clicking on the text box to edit immediately sorts out the double-spacing automatically. (As in it snaps into place when I want to edit the text) Does anyone know why my PDF is doing this? Why does it render out with double spacing in between some words?

Hi, I’ve activated the EDU plan and received the activation email but still have a free account and mine is not activated yet. What should I do?

Hello there! When try to open the application in macos , I couldn’t able to open it. " Move to Applications Folder Please move the Figma app into the Applications folder and try again. If the app is already in the Applications folder, drag it into some other folder and then back into Applications." How to resolve it ?

Please Help. Can’t Revert to an Older Version due to some sort of Loading error? It may be because I have attempted to upload too many.SVGs with Layers but I am unsure.

We want to build our own website and list some Figma work links on it. When our users click the link, we expect people could open it in desktop other than the browser, how could us achieve that? If the original link is " https://www.figma.com/design/zdYCo18esK1uS2pxxxxxx/my-figma?node-id=0-1&node-type=CANVAS", in what format can we open it via desktop by default?

Dear people in the community, I got problem with this prototype arrow. It’s don’t go right, up or down beside the left one. Is anybody else got this problem?

Looking to recreate the team’s Colour library using Figma variables. Have used a couple of plugins to get this far: Converting all the light mode colour styles to variables - done Converting all the dark mode colour styles to variables - done Moving them into same file - Light mode variables and Dark Mode variables - Done Parent Component library, can now toggle between Light Mode and Dark mode themes from the child library which has the variables. But when pulling that component library into a furthr figure file (which uses the components to make up screens), when toggling between light mode and child mode (next to layers when the screens are selected, altough the selected frame says “Light Mode” or “Dark Mode” no colour change happens. Is there something I’m missing or is the file structure need updating?

Hello, This is probably just a small problem and i can easily live with it but im starting to teach the new intern how to use Figma but ive noticed they have UI3 enable for some reason and i dont think i can have access to it just yet. I would prefer to teach using UI 3 since its gonna be default soon enough but right now the fact that there is a difference between our version is causing a bit of confusion when i try to show them where things are supposed to be. is there a way we can all use the same version or is it not up to us?

Hello, so I’m designing an art museum app, and for the checkout page, I want the sections of the page (admissions, time slot, etc) to appear one after the other, but ONLY after the previous section has finished being completed. For example, if a person is selecting how many tickets they want, they would first need to select the correct amount and then click the “done” button. THEN, I want a menu to pop down that allows the user to select a date. How can I separate those two functions so that the date section only appears after the user has select the tickets they want?

I set the constraint to left and right and move to new screen width (variable setup) the design is flipped. Here’s the video for this Figma variables grid breakpoint issue

Pretty ambiguously worded question, I know. What I mean is: I am designing an app in Figma. Obviously when you use any app, the screen looks different second by second, ish. For instance, when you try to log in with an email, but you mistype your email, a new thing comes up, like a red box around the email box saying “try again,” or whatever. There are many minor things like this every time you use an app. Is the basic approach to make a new frame for every new “thing,” i.e., every time the screen looks different at all? Obviously to an extent only. At this rate, my Figma file will have probably 100+ frames. I’m at 10 frames and my user hasn’t even set up their account yet. How many frames do y’all have on your apps? I hope my question makes sense!

Hello! Please help me to figure out the problem. Autosave doesn’t work both in the web version and in the desktop app. Every time after moving files into a frame or any other actions, I’m warned that the changes have not been saved. Plugins aren’t loaded, there have been situations when I was able to load them, but then the page started to freeze. I’ve tried logging in with and without VPN, both through the browser and through the app, it still doesn’t work. I’ve cleaned the cache and the memory on the PC. I’ve tried to create a new Figma account. I’ve tried to log in through another PC. I’ve also tried to change the browser. Nothing helps. I really look forward to your help in solving this issue.

I created a main component that has two variants: one for desktop and one for mobile. When I pull an instance of that component into a linked file and insert an image into the component in the desktop variant, the image goes away when I toggle to mobile - just reverting back to the mobile component. What I want is for the uploaded image to remain and just to to resize when I toggle between desktop and mobile. How can I do this?

Can someone help me understand why I’m seeing this error when I’m trying to publish something to my community page?! Is it because it utilizes the OS icons from Apple and Microsoft? Because there are literal countless community resources that include these. If this is not the reason why, can someone help me understand? Here is my publicly accessible project file if anyone wants to look : Mouse Cursors (Variable Modes) Thanks in advance.

In the past week, I’ve been experiencing an issue with my Figma files. We have a complex Design System with a specific file for icons. Even though the icons are published, I can’t use them in “Swap Instance” because most of them don’t appear. Strangely, they all show up in the sidebar, but they’re not visible in the “Swap Instance” feature.

My activated fonts in FontBase aren’t showing up in Figma. They show up in every other app, though. And if I install them directly, they show up fine. That said, I’d very much prefer continuing to use FontBase. I’m using the most recent desktop app on Windows 11. I’ve tried: Changing my root folder to “C:/FontBase” from FontBase settings Uninstalling and reinstalling both Figma and FontBase Installing the beta build of Figma Any ideas?

Hi FigFam I’m trying to create a master toggle for all the unique toggle in this scenario. I’m currently having difficulties on how I can achieve this. I created two sets of master components for the toggle. One set for the parent toggle which is the “All Toggle” and another set for the child toggle which are just regular toggle with word status underneath it. Can anyone help me how I can arrange the correct variable to achieve this interaction? I included a few screenshots of what my local variables look like and how i created a conditional within my prototype. All the master components also have updated layers of the right local variables Thanks FigFam

Hello, I’ve made a list item component that uses a nested photo component inside it to control the size of profile photo displayed. The issue I’m having is when I change the variant of the photo component used inside the master component, everything updates just fine. However, when i make an instance of the master component and choose a different variant of the photo component, the photo component’s dimensions do not update, only some of the radius and stroke widths. I’ve looked to see if there was any restraints such as min/max heights, etc. But I’m not seeing it. I’ve linked the file and a video showing the issue Hoping a new set of eyes can help me out! Thanks Here’s the file Video
