I looked for answers to my question, I found a lot of questions but I didn’t find any answers. I want the menu bar open to left side- I want it to open in the direction of the red arrow, but it opens in the direction of the blue arrow and goes out of frame. I used smart animation-> linear

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to help! It’s kind of hard to explain (no idea if the title adequately summarises it hah), so I’ll explain with context: I’m prototyping a menu with several buttons that will sit at the base of the screen, and when one of those is selected a smallish popup appears with a menu. The issue arises that, although my prototype works, the placement of it gets offset because the kind of origin point is the top left, expanding towards the bottom right (as is often appropriate). The goal for me would be to figure out a way to (functionally) make the hotbar a static base, and make prototype expand upwards and out from there once it shifts into the popup variables. I’ve included images to make the point easier to get: Expected outcome: Current outcome: It’s possible i’m missing something obvious, I’m still new ish to Figma - but if you’re able to advise, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

I was halfway through my work when the Figma file suddenly disappeared. It is not in the Deleted area. It seems like this file never existed. I can’t find it anywhere.

Hi there ! I was wondering, is there a way to keep seeing these borders even when the frame isn’t selected ? Thanks for paying attention.

I recently saw a tutorial and I noticed this icon layer. Can someone tell me what does it mean? I think it’s related to autolayout, but I’m not sure about it.

I upgraded Figma today to see there are no Progress Buttons at the bottom of the page, have these been taken out Presention Mode?

Hello, I put an arrow-line between two rectangles. But when I move one rectangle, the arrow anchor doesn’t move ? How to do that ? Best regards.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?

How can I make this shape in Figma?

You guys made it utterly complicated by updating the appearance of it. First you all ruin the Project browse and create feature. Now look at the side options menu it’s very complicated and make the designers mind even stressful when dealing with it. You guys brought the minimalism by ruin it’s day to day practicality like windows. Also, I’m having font issues as well. What’s the matter of this? Who are the frs changing this time to time. I want to see the fug faces of those Basterds. Common man we want the older Figma back otherwise we have to switch another tool 🙂

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. Where did resizing in Figma go?? Can you show me a picture? I’ve been searching for two days and still can’t find it.

As a Pro user,I am so frustrated by the new version of Figma. Not only did it disrupt my flow with such a new layout, but also its responsiveness is so bad that my page loads forever to open.

Hi! I can’t find a way to make the input bars in an app resize correctly when the display resolution changes. They always stick to their pixel-given size, and I can’t use percentages. I wish I could do anything about this. It’s for an Android app, I’d wish for it to be universal. Here’s a YouTube link to the issue https://youtu.be/Z2noAIuh1tQ.

Here’s the scenario: There are 4 companies under one parent company. These 4 companies have their own website (desktop/mobile) and apps and are not entirely similar but can start out similar and change over time. Similarities Some pages (app/web) are similar in structure but the styling is different Companies may start with similar structures but over time may be different. Similar enough to use variable modes for theming Differences: Icons Text/Colour Headers & footers App and web don’t always align in terms of features and functionality - for example: Feature A is available on the website but has not reached production on the app yet and may never be (for a variety of reasons) Note: App components and web components have atomic components that are the same, but molecules and organisms can be very different or the same. The company is on the organisation Figma plan so we only have 4 variable modes How do I structure this complicated design system for web and app with 4 compa

If I click a link to open a Figma file, it opens in the Desktop App since I have selected the default setting “Open links in the app”. That seems to be working as intended. However, when I open a link to a prototype in presentation mode, it opens in the browser. There is NO option to open it in the desktop app - my browser doesn’t prompt me to do so, and I cant find any manual button in the Figma UI to do so. Is this a bug, am I missing something?

I have an onboarding component with an arrow at the bottom. The problem is when the component gets bigger when theres more copy added, the box gets larger from the center and the arrow gets hidden. Is there a way to have it resize by going upward? or have the arrow move down along with the bottom edge of the shape?

I want to change the state to the instance’s hover state when hovering over that instance in the parent component. However, I’m only able to access the variants of the parent component, and I can’t seem to modify the hover state of the nested instance."
