我想把做好的原型效果图分享给开发者，我不想给他编辑权限，只允许他浏览，并且希望开发者能看到不同版块之间的连线状态，而现实是，分享给开发者的原型，是一个预览状态，看不见连线结构，只能通过点击去跳转，对于全局的结构展示很不直观， I want to share the finished prototype renderings with developers. I don’t want to give them editing permissions, but only allow them to browse. I also want them to be able to see the connection status between different sections. However, the reality is that the prototype shared with developers is a preview state, and the connection structure cannot be seen. You can only jump by clicking, which is not intuitive for the global structure display.

I usually have layers/assets panel on the left and design/prototype panel on the right. But I’m currently doing something that would be easier if they were next to each other. Going through layers and swapping the Auto-layout orientations, alignments, horizontal and vertical resizing selections. Do these capabilities already exist?

I opened my style guide file today and noticed that any of my fonts using the ‘Portrait text’ family have been updated to ‘Porter Sans Block’. I didn’t make this change and have looked through the version history which shows no sign of edits from other team members or myself, it seems as though this might be a bug? When I look at the style being applied to elements within the UI, the font is still correctly displaying as ‘Portrait text’ on the canvas but showing as ‘Porter Sans’ in the styles panel. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hi, I tried searching for this but couldnt find a answer. My appologies if I missed a thread where this was already discussed. I’m having issues using the “Export Frames to PDF” function that is built into Figma. When I try to open the PDF in Acrobat, I get a little error pop up that says that “The File is Damaged but it is being rebuilt.” I let Acrobat do it’s thing, but then when I go to the Advanced Optimization setting to compress the file (I’d rather do it this way than use a plugin), It says I need to save the file, but then I cant, because it says that the file is “read only” even though no other instances of the PDF are open. It’s not a huge deal, and I have found a work around. ( just close the Figma and the PDF and then repoen the PDF and for some reason, I am then able to save the PDF and then use the optimization settings to compress the file). But it seems a little buggy. Any ideas why this might be happening? Like I said, not a huge deal, just a little annoying, especiall

Maybe this makes sense for certain photos, but if you care about what parts of an image are included in the crop, it makes no sense to crop from the centre. I’m sure holding command and scaling an image used to just crop the side of the image you were scaling from. Now it scales / crops from the centre, like you might expect it to if you were holding cmd + option + scaling. This is one of a few issues with scaling / holding cmd that I’m having recently, I’ve also found that holding cmd+ scaling a frame is inconsistent in whether or not it ignore constraints

When I logged in Figma at evening all the latest files disappeared. Can anyone please help in getting those files. Please help

When I search for an plugin using the search bar within the resources section it take ages to give me a result even with a high speed internet connection. Some time it take ages to even close the resource panel once I search for a plugin. I am not sure how to solve this is. More context: I am using latest Figma app on a new macbook air M2

So I’m thing out variables and tried using a String variable to change pages. When I change the value manually everything happens as it’s supposed to, but when I actually press the button it changes the text inside of the button to the default text from the button’s component. I don’t understand if this is my fault or not since this has never happened when using the older methods, either making a frame for each page or using interactive components. I can’t upload the video here yet although my account is not new, but here’s a video showing the interactions and component: https://streamable.com/tayfav

Hi Everyone, If it’s possible, how can I automate Figma similar to InDesign using JavaScript, Node.js, or another API? Aside from macro, I’ll need to automate the repetitive tasks.

Hi Everyone! I need to resize my posters for a variety of sizes (such as 100 sizes). I’m wondering if there’s a way to automate the process or if there are any available APIs or scripts.

Tried a bunch of options but couldn’t make it work. I need to change states for 4 components. If I use ‘set variable’ and animate it, the transitions happen of after the other which doesn’t work for me. Is there any way to make they trigger at the same time? Another option would be using ‘set variable mode’ which I would actually prefer, but then in that case I can’t make smart animate work at all. Anyway, would love any ideas on how to make this work 🙂

Figma does not sync Windows 11 installed fonts Ask the community Can someone help me? Everytime I close a browser tab, all my newly installed fonts are gone. It’s the same when open in app. i have the exact same problem: with win11 the fonts are not syncing with Figma. after every reboot of the pc i have to reinstall all my fonts i’m using in Figma. then they are recognized again. this happens in the browser AND on the app. i tried to delete all of the fonts, reinstalling the Figma font service, trying without the font service just in the app… the problem persists. the font itself is not the problem because on windows10 and on mac i can use it without a problem.

Hi Figma Team, Hope you’re doing well. Our team has run into a bit of an issue, and we’re hoping you can help us out. It looks like our team plan somehow switched from the Free plan to the Education plan. We’re seeing messages like “Your Education plan has expired” and “This team is for Education users only. New users will be required to verify their Education status.” However, we never opted for the Education plan. The Free plan works perfectly for us, and all our accounts are just regular accounts with no ties to any education setup. Here are our main questions: How did this change happen? How can we switch our team back to the Free plan? What can we do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks a lot for your help!

I am trying to set up modes for two brands, let’s say Brand A and Brand B. I’ve designed a new header for Brand A, which will be almost identical to the header for Brand B apart from the main brand colour and logo. The two logo SVGs for each brand are set up as a component set with variants for each brand. Goal: I want to have a mode for Brand A and mode for Brand B. I’ve easily managed to swap the band colour using a colour variable. I was expecting to use a string variable to swap the logo variant like you can do with prototyping, however, within the header component I can’t set a string variable for the variant in order to swap the logo on mode change. Why is this? I know that image variables are in beta testing at the moment. I am wondering why we can’t use the already available string variable to achieve the same result.

Why my Auto layout’s panel is not the same as the picture

I was trying to pay for a plugin. And suddenly this form appeared where I can’t see any sign of secure connections or payment provider. Can I still trust this and make a secure payment?

Why doesn’t control clicking work as a right click in Figma on Macs? This is default behavior across Mac OS.

I imported an icon and it looks like this (see link below). How did they achieve a closed shape with a partial stroke? I’ve been asking around and googling, no one seems to have an answer so far, or at least i could not find it. How the hell do you achieve this in Figma? Figma – 31 Jul 24

I imagine the ability to upload multiple images in to FigJam and have them all collapse in a widget. Is that possible?

Missing Export Panel on developer’s view. They see a message saying that my file has Export functions disabled. My Figma file has been enabled to the appropriate setting for allowing users (with View Only) to Copy, Share, and Export elements. This was an option I found in the “Share” prompt window. My understanding from Figma’s documentation that users with “View” permissions SHOULD allow them to see an Export panel on the right-hand side. However, my team is getting the messaging that they cannot export anything in the Export panel. I’m dumbfounded on what else I am missing. (Note: These users, development team, already have been invited to my Figma file.) In the meanwhile, I have granted them “Edit” access to get through the obstacle. I’ve already searched for this question on the forum here and I came up with no resolution to my existing problems, despite having gone through all of my Settings and documentation on Figma. My Figma is up to date.

My designer and me both own pro licenses with Dev Mode access. I cannot toggle Dev Mode in a design he created. I somewhat understand your “teams” concept but this is totally unusable. Why should his organisation pay for my seat? I feel cheated out of my money since I bought it through the popup that opens when I try to toggle dev mode in his file. What kind of policy is this please? I either want my money back or a solution to viewing his file in dev mode even though he owns it.

When i click on “Start from scratch” Figma creates a new draft using “Light slides” template. I tried to use another account and it worked, but only once, so now I can’t use blank slides from two accounts. How it can be fixed?

I can no longer easily resize the Pages panes in the Layers Panel. Most of the time the resizing cursor won’t show up, sometimes it will. The only way I can consistently get the resizing cursor to show up is to click on a different page (then what I am working with) and then resize the Pages pane. I have a feeling a “hover” event was mucked up in one of the last few upgrades. Anyone else?

I am trying to import Figma design into Android Studio for application development. I tried to import a Figma component URL and it succeeded in importing but soon met with the following error below.
