Hello, Attached you can see a screenshot of the bug : -The component is set properly, with the background lines having an alignment constraint to the right of the frame. This way, the background lines never overlap the CTA. I created a variant so you can see that everything is working properly inside the component. -When I create an instance of the component, the constraint of the background lines are still set to the right, and can’t be modified. But while resizing the instance, the lines are actually constrained to the left, even if the interface says the opposite. I think thats a bug.

Hello everyone, I want to create a plugin that uses items from the library within the assets section and inserts them onto the page. Is there any similar code available, or is there a part of the Figma API that allows me to view the list of libraries and their assets? Thanks!

This is my first time publishing to the Figma Community, and I want it to be previewable as a prototype, but the option is disabled. How can I fix this? Thank you!

Faizan Abdullah new here. Been using Figma for a couple months now in order to plan my work and map my tasks and everything. Its a great software and best for my work.

Are you using Figma.getNodeById() which search through the entire document, or using Figma.currentPage ? I noticed that in big documents with lots of pages getNodeById is slow

Hi everyone, For me, an alias is another name for the same thing. While using Figma variables, if I delete the main variable, I expect all the other variables referencing that variable to get deleted too, as they are different names for something that doesn’t exist anymore. However, I can use that alias wherever I want to, without getting any warning from Figma. Is this the intended behaviour? Or is there anything that I’m missing out?

Hey guys, I can’t seem to find the SF Pro font in Figma. Is it a bug? and I couldn’t add them also. If its not available. Is there an alternative to SF Pro?

Hey am wondering is there any plugin available which will help me use UI Kits and design systems easily across different projects

Hi all, I’m experiencing an issue where the page background (not the frame background, but the entire project background) shows through during transition animations and disappears abruptly when the animation ends. I made the page background true red so it’s easy to see the issue in this GIF: It seems to be related to the fact that part of the component lies outside the frame. The component has a translucent fill, so it might be carrying over information from the page background instead of the frame. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. This is a school project that I need to turn in soon.

Wish there was a built in feature attached to the table within FigJam where you could select “Convert to Stickies” so I don’t need to rely on a plug in. My company limits use of plug ins.

I created a dropdown menu in Figma. When I copied the components and opened the dropdown menu to customize the text, I noticed that the preview still showed the original component’s text. However, when I set the component to be open on the new frame, the preview displayed as expected with my customized text. This is the main component [Album] imgur.com This is the component I copied to the

None of my text is coming up. All of these blue and black boxes are where text should be.

I was using GET/v1/files/:key/nodes endpoint with id param and value I360:21745;1269:159559 to retrieve node data . But the response was just empty array in children attribute in the Page Node where the targeted node exist. { "id": "360:10850", "name": "Page 5", "type": "CANVAS", "children": [] ... } But when I tried to get the node with id 360:10850, it was fine and the node I360:21745;1269:159559 was in the response as well. How can I get the data for node with id I360:21745;1269:159559? Is there something I should change in my request?

Hi everyone, How do I get a complete list of Variable collections and Alises used in the variables? So far I have managed to get the collection names, but unable to figure out what to do next? This is my code so far: I get the collections like this: await figma.variables.getLocalVariableCollectionsAsync(); After that I iterate through the list: for(let C=0; C<V.length; C++){ //console.log(V[C].variableIds); for(let i=0; i<V[C].variableIds.length; i++){ console.log(V[C].variableIds[i].valueOf()); } This is that the structure of my collections looks like (just a sample text variables)

Hi there, I’m a developer with a bit of Figma experience. For a new project I need to use the PrimeNG UI Kit. I have not used third party libraries before but managed to import the UI Kit, publish it and add it to my design file. So far, so good. I really love Figma, but there is one thing I cannot get my head around. When I create an instance of a panel/card or a panel/panel I’m stuck with a content frame that contains a text. I need to change the contents of the content frame to something else (non-text). So when I try to replace the text with any other component Figma objects and says: “Pasting inside the current selection is not possible”.

Why is Figma lacking these days? It’s getting slower daily, and Desktop App & File load time is getting longer. Also when moving from one frame to another within the same file, it gets stuck for a while then the frames take sufficient time to load. This is happening with my whole team not just with me.

Is there a way that I can edit the name of a layer same name to be change at once?

Hi Figma Community, I am currently trying to change the colour that’s assigned to be the primary colour in this DaisyUI Tailwind design system. I can find all the colour variables on the local variables fine on the tailwind side but can’t seem to be able to find where I can change what colour is assigned to be the primary colour in daisyUI. Help!

See the screenshot attached. How can I soften the bottom edge of the image? What would be the easiest and most efficient way?

Hi, I am trying to create a weighing scale prototype. I am attaching a screenshot for reference. I want the number to change as a I drag the weighing scale below. I tried giving number variable to it and gave a drag interaction to the scale but it’s increasing unevenly not smoothly.

Organizing your design files effectively in Figma can greatly improve workflow efficiency: Create a Logical Folder Structure: Establish a clear hierarchy of folders and subfolders to categorize your projects, assets, and resources logically. Use Descriptive Naming Conventions: Adopt consistent and descriptive naming conventions for files, pages, frames, and layers to facilitate easy navigation and searchability. Group Related Assets: Organize related components, styles, and assets into separate libraries or files for easy access and reuse across multiple projects. Utilize Frames and Pages: Use frames and pages to compartmentalize different sections of your design, making it easier to manage and iterate on specific parts. Label and Tag: Label and tag your files with relevant metadata such as project status, client name, or team members involved to prov
