Is there any way that you can change trajectory of smart animate animation? For example, I created this card that you can access here: https://www.figma.com/proto/OgbEnbpVrQH79TLMkaerST/Untitled?node-id=3-2&t=EiVU6T7hTypnpSfD-0&scaling=min-zoom&content-scaling=fixed&page-id=0%3A1 Usually, smart animate always use “blinking” animation. However, I want to change the animation that starts horizontally, like start from the left and ends to the right. Is it possible to create that kind of animation? Thank you in advance and I’m sorry if there are any grammatical errors.

Importing a file using file import keeps loading forever and file does not get imported. any solution?

I thought that all Google Fonts were available in Figma but I don’t see Inclusive Sans. Thanks!

Lately I’ve noticed when I’m working, the hand cursor will get stuck; I will be trying to move an object but the hand cursor won’t go away. If I click a layer or a tool or anything in the ui, the cursor behaves normally again. It’s weird and seems like a bug. Figma 96.4 on MacOS 11.2.3

Hi Designers! I have a troubble on my Figma project… I’m on Mac and i have done the update of Figma, but i have a gap between Design mode view and prototype view… The font isn’t the same too This is an example on screenshot TY for your help!

I have a file with components library and bunch of applied variables to them. When I importing this file into another I have an issue - size-type variables does not show up in design mode. But it exists in dev mode. Colors and text variables it’s not the case. Examples

UI3: UI2:

I want to make masking group with an outline object below an instance of a frame with gradient fill in it. If i try to put them in a masking group, nothing happens, they don’t form any masking group. And it doesn’t reflect on the canvas also. See the image below with masking applied.

When I make a component with two objects, I apply Absolute Positioning to one of the objects. When I try to move the object with the mouse, the object removes itself from the component and becomes its own object. The only way I can get it to work is use the arrow keys to position the object. Any ideas?

Hi. There’s a bug in the new UI3 variant properties popup box bug, at first it works normal: and then suddenly it’s like this: I can’t even accurately drag the variant I’m changing position. if you wanna do this, at least have the entire thing draggable and as long as i click hold it instead of trying to click the tiny icon on the left. I’ve tried dragging the entire thing but the function is to modifying the value only just like it’s click function.

Hi. Is there a way to (smart) animate content with ‘scroll to’ function set into a conditional or not? I can switch between contents but without smart animate motion. Is there a way to do it or is it a bug? Thanks.

Im trying to combine the scrollto action on a press with a conditional variable. I want a button to scroll an image to a point and then when its there to scroll back to the start. If I set a boolean to false then once scroll has complete set it to true i should be able to nest the scrollto action in a condition if true scrollto 500,500 else scrollto 0,0 set boolean = not boolean but when i add this to a button the inital scroll works but the return doesnt I have set an additonal graphic’s visibility linked to the variable so I know the true flase is getting switched is there any reason why this wouldnt work? has anyone got scrollto to work inside a conditional statement?

I find myself newly being expected to do production-level repetitive text edits to Figma layouts. Until I find a new position, I was hoping there’s a method or plugin to relieve some of the tedium and human error. CopyDoc seems decent, but my company would spend a year doing a tech solution review, even if they would agree to pay for it. I can’t use the Ditto and Google Sheets Sync plugins with the marcom staff as we can’t use those sorts of outside file-hosing systems (financial sector). Text Porter doesn’t look like it would accommodate my needs. I’m designing for a heavily templatized CMS. I would love to load in a new text (or spreadsheet) doc and automatically update existing text, and do this repeatedly. Can anyone recommend a workflow (with or without plugins) for this sort of tedious work?

Below is the context and details of the problem I am experiencing. Any suggestions to resolve are welcomed. I have a published component that is no longer showing up in the assets panel as expected. Details/observations: when in the assets panel, and the specific library that the component is in is selected, the component Tabs does not show. when I select “all libraries” the component shows as an option when I ‘Go to main component’ it directs me to the component, in the library I have made changes to the component, but the “publish” button no longer displays when I search for the component, and older version of that component that was deleted pops up in the results, but not the current, master component. when the “all libraries” is selected, and I click on the (correct) Tabs component, there is an error in the preview panel. But the old/deleted component shows it’s preview with no issues. I have tried clearing cache and restarting both the app and browser. Others are experiencing th

I’ve been working on this dashboard and I’m having trouble with the secondary side-navigation bar and the detail panel. When expanding the frame, the navigation bar expands first, followed by the detail panel. I need them to move simultaneously, but I’ve been stuck on this for the past three days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 😭 😭 Link to Figma file: https://www.figma.com/design/IlGEYfpsvQHS4Uu6SLXF0d/Dashboard?node-id=0-1&t=PycjxAvJGMYt0hO8-1

The blurred vector shape looks fine in Figma, but when I export as an SVG and open it up or try to implement it onto my website it has this weird clipping towards the edges, not making it a smooth gradient (can be seen on all 4 sides). How can I fix this so when I export it the shape looks the same as it does in my Figma design? Thanks.

I see to enable someone for Dev mode I need to give them “Full Design Access”, how does that stop devs from changing the design files? shouldn’t the designs be locked & they only have access to the code & assets. Mistakes happen, and I want to circumvent something accidentally deleted or changed. How do I prevent this from happening? Or am I missing the proper way to add DEV MODE for my team?

Hi all community members, I had a crazy thought today. What if Figma had options to customize its UI, like changing colors, background transparency, and text sizes, or even applying pre-designed skins, like Anime-themed or Cyberpunk-themed ones? Another idea: What if Figma had the option to enable haptic feedback? For example, when aligning an object in the center of the frame or with another object, it could provide haptic feedback. Just imagine what that experience would be like! I can’t stop thinking about this, so I wanted to share this wild thought here. Please let me know what you think!

Greetigns, I’m trying to build a Figma plugin using React and typscript, somehow I get a weird error saying Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'createElement') even though I tried to match my configuration files with some working plugins on github. for reference, here is my configuration files: my tsconfig.json { "compilerOptions": { "target": "es6", "module": "commonjs", "lib": ["es6", "DOM"], "strict": true, "jsx": "react", "typeRoots": [ "./node_modules/@types", "./node_modules/@figma" ], "skipLibCheck": true, "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, "outDir": "./dist", }, "include": [ "src", "code.ts" ], "exclude": [ "node_modules" ] } and here is webpack.config.json: const path = require('path'); const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin'); const InlineChunkHtmlPlugin = require('inline-chunk-html-plugin'); // Add this

Hi all, I’m exploring ways to build better Design Crits within Figma Community. If you could spare a moment, I’d love to hear about your experiences: How do you currently get feedback on your designs? What are the biggest challenges you face when seeking critiques? Can you walk me through the last time you received a design critique? How did it go? What tools or platforms do you use to get design feedback, and what do you like or dislike about them?

First of all: What is going on with Figma? It has become absolute shit and not usable. There are just tons of bugs and nothing gets fixed. Weren’t you guys acquired by Adobe?? The mobile app always crashes as soon as my phone falls asleep. Variables aren’t working as they should. Interactions don’t work. What the heck? This is a product you want people to pay for? The current bug I have a component with three buttons. One is “selected” or dark. I’m building an interaction where a user clicks on one button and then this button is turning dark and the other one bright again. So I created a component with three variants, one for each selected button. Now I try to add a “change to” interaction on the buttons. The idea is: When a user clicks on Button 2, the component changes to “Active=Button2”. The problem: The selected variant in the interaction is not saved. So it always stays at “change to: None”. This has been reported already here: Trying to use Change To, but can't select a compone

Hey yall, I’m confused about a behavior of a component. I have buttons that can be of two kinds: primary and secondary. Putting either in a component (the black bar) is no issue but once I do that in a variant of the bar, the colors change but not the size. I don’t know what causes this. Is this a bug or I’m missing something? New to Figma myself Thanks to whoever knows the answer to in advance

When I was working on App Store screenshots, I received an error message “image can’t contain alpha channels or transparencies”. I tried to fix this error using this plugin, but it also did not respond well. Export Opaque PNG | Figma Community It would be extremely beneficial if we could export PNG files with no alpha channel.
