Figma stopped working on mac os 10.13.6 Hi. after the latest updates, the company stopped working on mac os 10.13.6 Can I get a link to an earlier version of the app? Unfortunately, I do not know which version of the figure will suit me. But she stopped working last week. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with stokes and would need some advice. Context: I initially added upper strokes to some sections in my design, specifically in the “Certifications” and “Newsletter Subscription” areas (see the first screenshot). Later, I decided to remove these strokes and made the necessary changes in the design editor. Problem: Despite deleting the strokes, they still appear when I preview my prototype (see the second screenshot). I’ve double-checked that the strokes are removed in the design layers, but they seem to persist in the prototype view. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi, i have tried searching, but i simply cannot find a similar situation to mine. I have copied some content over from my FigJam to save time, and at the same time i am not handy enough with Figma jet to use components and variables effectivly. As you might see in my project - i want to have the buttons that are beneath eachother in the left side to activiate different carreer paths. What is the best way to do this considering the contents of the project? i have tried many ways, but cannot find a simple solution. opening a overlay or similar does not seem to be the proper way. I guess that making the entire “hierarchy” a component with different variables would be time consuming and advanced? There has to be a better way 😛

I’ve created the components and put another button component in it. When i trying to swap nested “button” components it’s works at canvas, but doesn’t update in prototype mode.

Hey people. Is there a possibility of changing both of the top bars to white? I’d like them to match the rest of the UI. Thanks

Hi there, why my display looks different? new version or settings?

If someone can help, I would appreciate it. As I am a professor at the Academy of Applied Studies Polytechnic, where we have a UX UI Design department, I would first like to know how to add my institution (mentioned above) to the list of institutions on the link (Figma for higher education) for getting a free professor/student Figma license. Considering that I am a professor teaching UX design and UI design courses at this Academy, Figma is an essential tool for my work that I must present to my students as a resource they will use in the future. Currently, there are 56 students, and there will be many more in the coming years. Since students (and professors) cannot select the Academy from the list of institutions to obtain a free license, they are unable to use this program in its full functionality. I wrote to the support team at support@figma.com, but they replied to me as follows: “It looks like you’re contacting us from a Starter account. Customers on this plan receive support thr

I have a prototype with a main component containing few variants. Each variants is synchronised with a global variable. A menu is used to change the global variable and Navigate to the same frame containing the main component and it works fine the variant is well displayed but the animations contained in the variant (components in the main component) are not reset. Meaning that they play only once… I have to reset the full prototype if I want to see the animation of one variant again. I tried to check the ‘Reset component state’ when I navigate to the main frame containing the main component without success… Any clue on what I missed ? Thanks for your help.

Hi there, I open de lottie plugin search for the animation and when I try to change de pallete from it I cant copy hex color from Figma and paste to reach the color I need. Someone with same exp?

I had an interactive trailer carousel with 8 movie trailers. It was a component set, to which I tried adding two control buttons (a play/pause and a mute/unmute), but none of them seemed to work when inside of a component (basically, the instance couldn’t be prototyped and prototyping the component itself resulted in the instance controlling the original component). I’ve spent most of the day trying to remake the component from scratch, but nothing is working. Heeeelp, pls…

I want some help in conditional interaction in Figma.

Hi all, I have a screen that has 2 options: Option A and Option B In prototype, once I select one of these 2, I go throught some pages which are the same in both Options A & B. Then I come across another selection. In this screen I have Option C and Option D Now the next page shows content based if user selected Option C or D. After that, once user finishes that flow, they are presentated with another page based on Option A or B. My question: How can I change the prototype flow based on the “selected option” in the background? Is there a token I can create and based on that token value the flow (arrows) go in different directions? Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

When I create a text and then click the Style icon on the right menu, then click on the Plus icon on the Text styles button nothing happens. Is there a chance I’m missing something? Help!

WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH Please excuse my poor English. I want to output CSV files for items such as Text in Figma, but I wanted to separate the files, so I used this as a reference to set up ts-loader and webpack. I am new to developing Figma plug-ins, but I managed to complete the process of compiling text and other items and outputting them to the console. After that, I encountered an error where the output in CSV would use fs, but here I encountered an error where fs could not be imported. THE PROBLEM AREA //The problem area import * as fs from 'fs'; // Here!! export class DownloadCSV{ ...... public save(filename: string = "out.csv"){ fs.writeFileSync(filename, this.text); } } //manifest.json { "name": "XXX", "id": "1338758441514588489", "api": "1.0.0", "main": "dist/main.js", "capabilities": [], "enableProposedApi": false, "editorType": [ "figma", "figjam" ], "ui": "dist/ui.html", "networkAccess": { "allowedDomains": [ "

I cleaned up my folders and teams and left out from 2 teams. As a result, I lost 2 files I created recently. More likely I created them by mistake, not in my drafts, but in one of the teams. I found one of those files because i shared the link before. But this file is not mine currently. But the second file is more important. Can I somehow restore these files in my account?

Hi there, since last week I got the alert, that there are fonts missing. Although it worked perfectly fine before. I checked the installed fonts on my Mac, even deleted and reinstalled them in my font book several times and restarted my Mac and Figma. Do you have an idea to solve this? It is really troublesome, because I have an upcoming presentation and can’t work properly like this… Thanks in advance for any help!

Adobe Museo Sans (not display) is coming out with different weights. on the Styles it says 900 but Dev mode says 700. I’ve checked with our Devs and it looks like we have to manually change the fonts but im still unsure why even in Figma it is labeled incorrectly. Our Devs also ran in to a bug where it can name the font weight to 600. This might be a optimisation thing tho so that might be our issue more than anything. Still tho, why would Figma/Dev mode label it differently? I Download the Font officially from Adobe and the below is correct.

Hi there! I was very excited about the ‘variables’ announcement, and was hoping that it could simplify the prototypes I’m working on. However, I hit a wall almost immediately, and I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t understand how the feature is meant to work, or if it’s because of a known limitation. I want to create a ‘switch’ that changes a visual element across multiple screens. For instance, a menu that lets the user change ‘modes’ from ‘online’ to ‘offline’. In my (very limited) programming experience, I would expect to be able to accomplish this by setting a boolean called ‘online’ to TRUE, and then tell each component that if ‘online’=TRUE then display the ‘online’ variant. However, it does not seem to be possible to display a specific variant based on a boolean state. The closest I’ve come to making this work is to set a string variable to ‘online’, which changes the variant, but it only does so in one page. If I go to the next page, the ‘state’ is not remembered. (It revert

I have tried all the mentioned resolutions in the community for similar issue. Still doesn’t work for me. Auto-layout works for main component but doesn’t work for instances. Scenario: I have a two rectangles, each of them are components indivdually. When I club them and use vertical auto-layout and make this a component, then use an instance of this and try to copy and paste the rectangle, it doesn’t add up to the stack, it just appears on one of the rectangle and comes up as a separate component. Expectation is for it to add up below the two rectangles. Here are some screenshots: Please help, its breaking all components in the design system. Let me know if any additional information is required.

I’m developing a Figma plugin that pastes frames onto the canvas using the Plugin API. The frames are structured in JSON format and include nested auto-layout frames with text layers inside them. These text layers are set to “hug” content with specified max-height and max-width properties. When pasting the frames, all elements are translated and positioned correctly. The text layers are nested within the auto-layout frames and have the layout value set to “hug.” However, the max-width and max-height properties are not being applied as expected. The Figma app console displays the following error: “Error applying maxHeight: Error: in set_maxHeight: Can only set maxHeight on auto layout nodes and their children.” Has anyone else encountered similar issues or found a solution to this? Could this be a bug or a limitation within the Plugin API?

Hi, I was wondering if I publish a website design and I’m sharing the prototype, how can I make it possible to be window fitting to all different laptop sizes of a client for example? So it feels like you’re in a direct website being full screen, for example as a Readymag. Does somebody know? Thank you!

Hi, I published a file on Figma Community on Friday, but it’s still not showing on my profile. I can access it only through the file itself, and it says that it’s live, but it’s actually not. Can you help?

Hey Junko, Would you explain why this is happening. I’m connecting the Boolean variable to a Boolean instance, but why this strike showing in it. See the image below.

Hi there. Yesterday by chance I deleted 8 files that I cannot find anong the drafts or deleted drafts, so brobably they are deleted permanently. Does exist any chance to restore these files? 🙏

Here is what I can see when selecting a regular text layer And here is what I see when selecting a text layer which is linked to a component property How can I bind the second one to a variable without breaking the link with component property?
