I have a variety of master components set up in one file. And in another file various instances of these master components. All the master components have images within them set up to be exportable at various sizes and image formats. However for one reason or another when I look at these images in the instance version the export settings from the master component are not there. Is this just a missing feature? Or is there a reason they’re not inherited from the master?

My .fig folder on my Macbook tages up a whooping 46GB of space! This is because the daemon.log file is 45GB. Is this file safe to delete? Have a good day!

I have clip content checked/selected but it’s not clipping my contents on the bottom of the frame however it works on the sides. Can anyone help me with this?

I have received access and set up payment with Stripe. The dashboard under the metrics tab shows that I am eligible to sell my Figma files. However, when I try to proceed, I cannot find an input field to enter the price for the file I want to sell. Here is the attached screenshot for reference.

hello Figma communities, In my Figma Page i can not get “constraint” please help me guys

I can’t find “Constraints” since the new UI. Where is it?

I have a trigger element ( a text link) that opens a small window when the user clicks on it, that window is showing behind everything else when open. I checked the layers and they are in the right order I am using auto layout and I changed the “Canva Stacking” option changed the constrain to be on top I am new using Figma so I am lost on what to do now, I tried rebuilding this by groupings instead of auto layout to see if that was the problem and it not working. The following is the picture of the problem How do I keep this elements to the front when that layer is already at the top and brought to front. Thank you in advance for your help

I have an issue with my library, I cant push updates on buttons because I have a Conflicting property value but I got no idea where this “conflict” is. Can somebody help me?

I usually hold down command and hover over layers nested in a frame/auto-layout to select, instead of having to click multiple times to drill down to that layer. Now it seems all janky? only some auto-layouts will outline when I command+hover and others will drill down the the lowest granularity layer which is NOT what I want. for example, a button on a page. command+hover will not allow me to select the button. I have to click on the page multiple times to get to the button OR select the label and then the button. this is KILLING my productivity. What happened???

Hi, community! I’m pretty new to Figma so please bear with me. For a website design, I followed one of the many mesh gradient tutorials out there to make animated mesh gradients that work great in Figma’s preview mode. But when my developer grabs Figma’s CSS to recreate the gradients in code, he says all sorts of numbers in the CSS code that Figma gives him are wrong, such as the rotation angles of the shapes that animate. He is making do by manually changing numbers based on his best guesses, but this seems like an inaccurate and labor-intensive workaround. Many files and tutorials exist on Youtube and the Figma community that teach how to create animated mesh gradients in Figma, but none of these tutorials address the question of how a developer is supposed to consume the resulting animation in code to reproduce it on a real website. Are my developer and I missing something fundamental about animated mesh gradients?

We have a presentation we are giving with multiple prototypes. One flow per slide to show different features. Each prototype that was inserted kept changing from the selected flow to just the first page of the linked file, which is a cover page in our case. We couldn’t figure out how to fix the problem but found that putting the prototypes on the first page of the source Figma file allowed them to work in the presentation. If anyone is having a hard time figuring this out, this workaround should work.

Today when I opened my wireframes, there is now a green box around many of my images. It had never been there before and I have no idea what it is or how to get rid of it. It also does not fully surround all the images. Many images it cuts into an edge of the image if that is a clue. TIA Dan

I’ve just upgraded my plan to professional, and while I’m trying to share a design with an external designer, I keep getting an error message saying: “Editors cannot be invited to starter team draft files”. What am I missing? Why can’t I provide an editing permission to a designer, as I’m the file owner?

@ksn Hello, I have using Figma Student for several months, or maybe a year, but currently it is gone, and my account is back to free plan. I didn’t get any email regarding this. So, I went to Figma Educational Plan webpage and I have got verified, it even says “You’re in”. But when I go back to Figma, my account is still on free plan. What should I do?

I can’t figure out why is there a thin white space on top in the prototype. I have open up access for people to edit, feel free to copy and paste to test on it, thank u! Figma file Prototype file

Hello! I am currently using FigJam Education for free (I verified) Could someone clarify how many teams, projects and boards I can create with this plan? Are they unlimited? And for how long?

Hello! Had my 2FA setup in Authy but when I changed my phone lost that Authy settings. I need to reset the 2FA Figma and cannot see from where. Any ideas?

Hello! Thank you for your awesome product! I filled out a verification form for a free license for students (as I am taking a few online courses in GeekBrains school) and it was more then two weeks ago. And since then I had no feedback on my application (I logged on with my google account [REDACTED] as it didn’t let me to use a different one and I out in my Figma email [REDACTED]. I’m worried that maybe I filled out something in a wrong way? Or maybe my application hasn’t reached you? I have just filled out one more form on your website, but now I’m truly worried if it comes through. Could you, please, assist me with that? Thanks a lot!

I am unable to use Figma Pen Tool as it is not working properly. The few times, it draws line when dragged and single clicked, but most of the times it does not. The dragged end must appear round when dragged, however, it turns out to be flat (square shaped) and when I single click, the line disappears. I have tried to use this pen tool on both Browser (Chrome) and Figma desktop Application, but got same issue both the times. I have never used any Design Tool and I am totally new to this field, hence totally frustrated. Please suggest.

Hi, Can’t seem to get the 40% button on the right to move up to line up like the ad on the left. It keeps snapping back to lower right. Can someone explain auto? > Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.

Thought I’d find this searching, but nothing’s coming up. I work on a MacBook and want Figma to not open the installed app version, but to open in a chrome browser window. I presume that’s a setting somewhere, but can’t find it. thanks for any help.

Could you please explain how to reduce the file size when exporting? Maybe can i resize image or something to reduce file size.

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. My text has become enveloped in a lighter version of itself when I hover over it and I can’t now select it What caused this and how do I undo it please?

I wanted to check if it’s possible to publish plugins and widgets to Figma community if I am a developer from India? I saw on the “FAQs for selling on Community” that India was not a part of the eligible countries for selling resources. Wasn’t sure if this referred to only templates or also to plugins and widgets. Another confusion was if I can’t create plugins that use Payments API, can I still publish plugins that monetize using external payment methods? Please help!

Hey all, I copied an entire component from a file - and I didn’t saw the variables that included in this component - the problem is, now in all my files, I have variables that mean nothing, and I don’t know how to manage my variables library in the image attached, you can see this library that not have any sense
