Hi, I’m trying to create a responsive size selection (XS, S, M, L, XL) for a mobile app. I have access to conditions but am not too familiar with them. I’m trying to create a unselected states of each size and when one option is selected, the user will be able to adjust the size and the selected state would hide. I would prefer to use the most time efficient method to achieve this, but open to all options if more effective. Appreciate any help as I’m a complete amateur at this!

Hi everyone, I’m facing a challenging issue related to our app’s user account creation process, and I’m hoping to get some advice from this community. Our app allows users to create an account in three ways: In-App Signup: Users download the app, complete the signup flow, and their data is populated into a PDF template with dynamic form fields (set up in Adobe Acrobat) and sent to a government regulatory body. Soft Copy Download: Users can download the same PDF template from our website, fill it out using Adobe Reader or similar, and email it to us for passing on to the regulatory body Print and Mail: Users can download, print, manually fill in the form, and mail it to our office, which we forward to the regulatory body. You can check out the form here for context. The challenge stems from the need to maintain a print-friendly layout with boxes and tables, which was likely designed in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign before being exported as a PDF. Over time, the source files were lost,

Hello y’all, I am working in updating/customising a rather complex library we have internally, usual procedure for a project: 400 variables, 1800 components, etc We’ve recently phased out styles mostly everywhere and introduced variable usage. Now as I work on it for the first time, mostly updating color variables and it’s usage on components, I’m constantly experiencing lag and “unsaved changes”. My team is experiencing the same but have dismissed it as being what it is… Is there a way to mitigate this? Anyone else running in to something similar? Or with a similar library size who is fairing a bit better? Slowly losing my mind a bit… I’am running: desktop app in a i7 2017 mbp on macOS 13.6.9

We copied bunch of variables and components to a new file and make it as our base file. I know Figma prompts us to copy over unpublished variables to the new file: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/15343107263511-Apply-variables-to-designs#h_01HQKMTQVD3249HHA4ER3TGHT0 But unfortunately i missed the notification to copy over the unpublished variables. Now this is what happening: There are bunch of ghost variables that are not existing on my Variables Table and yet still attached to components: Like the component-colors / form / and all the stuff under it. I dont want to fireup the Detach Deleted Variables and redo things manually as there could be hundreds of variables involved, our component library is pretty big. Do we have a console command that we can just fire up and recreate this?

Haven’t empirically measured this - but after like 20-30 minutes of using Figma Slides, interactions get so slow. From the cursor recognizing what it’s hovering over, to changing properties, moving elements around. it gets fucked.

Hi, I’m creating an integration with Figma using Figma’s REST API. In some cases I get an error with code ECONNREFUSED. I would like to understand why I get this error. There is no reference to it in the API documentation. It happens using this endpoint: https://www.figma.com/developers/api#get-images-endpoint

When I open the assets panel with ⇧ + i [and select an asset], the panel often does not close when I click outside of it, sometimes it needs multiple clicks, sometimes it does not close at all until I click “somewhere special” like outside of any frame (?). It is super annoying. Is it just me?

Hello, I have a problem for a while now with both my personal account and my pro account, when it comes to update Figma, whenever I open Figma I get this modal with an “Update available” and when I press “Install now” Figma quit for a few seconds before opening with the exact same modal. I’d do it a few times, get tired of it and then press “Install on next launch”

Should I design seperated frame sizes like this to show developer better understanding for the responsive design ? Or just made 1 responsive design?

Hello Experts, I lost autoplay box while mouse hovering in prototype tab. Have Anybody been the same issue with me? Got any solution, please suggest me

I’m building a prototype with accordions across a page. I’m struggling to work out how to ensure when you click to open an accordion, the information opens at the top of the content. At the moment it seems to open half way through the content and I can;t figure out why! Any help would be much appreciated. Figma – 7 Aug 24

Hello! I’m on a project right now and I need to create a background image, or when I use the main element (a little transparent) of this background, there is a color overlay that appears. Is it possible to remove it and if so, how? Thank you.

O que é image resized? Does it affect the image quality or something? I didn’t notice it before, but it seems that after the UI3 update it started to appear every time an image is inserted into the Figma.

Hello, I am having issues with Figma, simple issues, but google seems to be failing me (probably just user error) I am working on text in Figma trying to make it bold and the category isn’t offering anything other than ‘regular’ and ‘italics’, if someone can explain to me what I am missing, or how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Team, after designing few frames, i am able to see all the contents in preview mode but when i play the presentation mode it is showing only the background image and no contents inside. Kindly help me with a solution

I have the following: Standard icon component that loads font awesome icons Card component that displays a card (mix of things, including icon component above) with several variants The idea is that I use that card component in various places, with a Hover interaction to change the card’s variant. This ‘flips’ the card to a graphic and back again. This works fine for me (both in Figma and in a browser). Everyone that I share the prototype with gets the following issue: When coming off the hover, the icon renders the name of the icon, not the icon graphic.

Hi everyone! I’m figuring out how to expand a smaller section with my toggle animation. It clips with the section below it. I tried auto layout on all the sections below it, but I still had the same problem. If you have any ideas please let me know!
