Figma will block Russian accounts?

Hello. I use Google Material Design and cannot figure out how to add more tabs to the Tabs component. Thanks

Everything is fine in the browser version. Idk what happens

I don’t see any of the UI updates or the AI for design. I tried to reinstall it again, but it’s still not working.

In below sample code, Blockquote export async function test() { const selection = Figma.currentPage.selection; console.log("Selection length is ",selection.length) if (selection.length > 0) { const node = selection[0] as SceneNode; console.log("node is",node.name) **const imageData = await exportImage(node);** console.log("POSTING....",imageData) figma.ui.postMessage({ type: 'imageData', imageData: imageData }); // Sending the image data back to the UI } else { console.warn('No layers selected.'); } } async function exportImage(node: SceneNode): Promise { return new Promise((resolve) => { const tempFrame = Figma.createFrame(); // Create a temporary frame tempFrame.resize(node.width, node.height); tempFrame.appendChild(node.clone()); // Clone and add the scene node to the temporary frame const exportSettings: ExportSettingsImage = { format: ‘PNG’ }; tempFrame.exportAsync(exportSettings).then((imageBytes) => { tempFrame.remove(); // Remove the temporary fra

I have already searched online, but those solutions don’t work anymore. I’ve tried everything, and I can’t find an uninstall or remove button, as shown in the tutorials. Does anyone know how to remove plugins?

Am I totally blind, or do I just not have the layout grid and border radius options?

Hello, anyone has an idea how to change the layout of my panels please ? Thanks in advance!

I am designing a few frames and on the top frame I created an arrow that I want fixed in place so that it will show in other frames but it won’t allow me to fix it in place. Any suggestions?

i am using the new Figma design and I am looking for the export button. did you find it?

If i created a custom design in Figma, can i save it as s template to reuse, or share with co- workers, e.g. i placed the company logos, and general style. and want. others to use it

Is there a way to create your own Figma Slides template and publish it to the community for others to use?

The selected frame is the component and the other 3 frames on the right are instances of it. I want to change the icons of the right 3 instances ? How do i do it? (I mean, is there any way to do this without detaching the instances?)

I am not satisfied with the texts things, Image placing and auto-mask in canvas.

Hello ! I need help ! I just started with Figma and I’m already stuck : I wanted to have my own fonts on my projects so I checked on Google how to and no matter what I tried, nothing works. I have the desktop app, all my fonts are on my font library on my mac, even tried to get the plug in from the Figma download page (even if it’s said that’s not useful for the desktop version, but who knows, magic or something) … Even have refreshed the page maybe 10 times nop, doesn’t works. Can someone please help me find the solution here ? Thanks !

Hi, I’ve been trying to export a slide deck which has a lot of images but whenever I download it as a pdf the images only appear as blank/black squares and I can’t figure out how to fix it.

Some text and images are not shown. Please find attached samples.

Hello, To my surprise I have discovered that many of my files are available for “anyone with the link”. I don’t know how this could have happened as I understand this needs to be a deliberate action. I noticed this because a prototype was set for anyone with the link to view. I understand that inherits from the main working file which was also set for anyone with the link to view. How that was set is beyond me. Again, I thought that is a deliberate action and I would not have done that on a single file let alone many files. Am I wrong? Are new files “public” by default? Is there a way to tell at a glance which of my files are set to “anyone with the link”? Is there a way to affect these settings in bulk? To be clear, I have no need for public links and don’t like what I’m feeling like is a lack of good control over this feature. (When I share I want it to be for “invited only” or similar). Thanks for any insight into the sharing of Figma files.

Hey friends, I am pulling interactive components from a library via the assets tab. I am able to add an instance of any component, but the variables are unresponsive. What am I missing here? I am new to my current company and they have a ton of libraries. Do I need to have edit access to those files in order to use the components fully?

Figma auto updated and now has a brand new layout. While I get the motivations and design thinking behind it, I simply don’t like anything about it. Two glaring pain points for me: I’d rather have the toolbar on top where it used to be, or at least have the option to anchor it to any edge of the screen. I’m working on 32" display, the bottom of the screen is quite far away form where my natural line of sight is. The floating surfaces that aren’t flush on the edge affectively create a “stroke” around as the canvas’s background peaks behind it. It adds a lot of visual noise and I find it terribly distracting and unpleasant. Figma team, please please please give us the option to config these behaviors

Searched community but didn’t find enough details about such issue. Today ready for dev description of changes is available as very small detail in history of document timeline. IMO it is not highlighted and accessible enough. Would be much better to treat it for each section/screen that was marked ready to dev as iteration note. This way each dev would have relevant description of changes at hand, before starting coding or checking updates which could be missed otherwise as history of the document is not pointing you in any particular direction. Anyone with similar issue? or maybe I am missing something?

As someone who has been a victim of the designs testing them, I cringe whenever I encounter it. Too many designers don’t know what they are doing and load it up with so much garbage (layers, etc.) it just stops working. Or takes forever to load and then crashes. Others apparently have not tested it. Others don’t provide passwords or correct URLs. Is it cheap or something? I’m blaming finance people who force Marketing to use it. When I see InVision (R.I.P at the end of the year, Axshare, and pretty much anything other than Figma, I make a huge sigh of relief.

Is there anyone who have thought about making a laser cutter plugin or also looking for one in Figma? It would need a few, but very helpful functions when you draw stuff for your laser cutter in Figma, and would help a lot, so you make less mistakes when cutting .

Hey everyone! First of all, I apologize for my English. I have some issues about doing toggle. I created a toggle and enabled the smart animate setting but it didn’t work. So i have two variants for toggle. The ellipse colors of the toggle in the off state and the on state are different and at the same time the ellipses have stroke. With this setting, the toggle behaves as if it’s set to instant or dissolve. If I make one of the toggles the same color as the other, this issue is resolved and smart animate works.Or, if I remove the stroke setting from one of them, smart animate works. Why might this be happening? Thanks for reading.
