Finding this incredibly difficult to do. I just want to make a component that I can put other elements into. Just a basic frame like in picture attached that I can then add an arbitrary set of elements to. Please help.

I’ve seen this asked for back in 2021, again in 2022 and again in 2023. It’s now May 2024; Can we please have the ability to bulk export projects. And no, I do not want to export files individually. Seems like a basic feature; Select the projects via checkbox or designate all, Compress them Export as a Zip. Done. Why has this not made its way onto a Figma Product roadmap? Perhaps it has and it keeps getting usurped by more pressing needs? What am I missing? Filesize too large? Ok, limit it to multiple chunks no larger than XXMB Bewildered.

Hello, I am designing an interface to be developed in ReactJS. To optimize our work and avoid redundancy, I am searching for a library to use as a base and recommend to the development team. Although the Ant library is popular, it has not been updated in over a year. Do you have any other library suggestions? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I use the desktop version of Figma on macOS and on Windows. Once again I started the program on Windows and my computer just froze completely, only an emergency restart helped. I restarted the program and everything was fine, then immediately started Figma again, again the PC froze completely, restarted, and the DRAM light on the motherboard was blinking red. I took out one 16gb card, it didn’t help, I took out the second card and the computer turned on. What is this? Checked the card on a friend’s PC, it is dead!

Hi, how to open an illustrator file or image in Figma? unfortunately, the drag option isn’t working.

I’ve been looking for an implementation of gradient blur, I’ve only seen it on iOS devices, but I don’t have an iOS device and can’t provide an image yet. But I saw this effect on a web page, I wonder if I can reproduce this effect in Figma with the idea of the web page?

Hi there! I’ve seen this thread in the community before but it was not answered by the Figma team or anyone else on how to solve this issue, so I would like to point this out and ask for some help on solving this. I’m using powerful machines for my work (desktop - MacMini / laptop - Dell XPS 15 2022 model) for all the designs, etc. I noticed that when moving things around the Figma space while working with designs, and prototypes, things get a stuttering effect, and this is really irritating to work with, so I would like to know what the solution to remove this stuttering/slicing effect would be? How did anyone solve this issue? The hardware is powerful so that shouldn’t be the problem since I have no issues at all in PS, IL, Blender, etc… Please let me know how to solve this. I’m using Figma desktop app with the latest updates for November 2022.

Hi guys, it is my first topic here and I am also not so familiar with Figma, so go easy 🙂 I am using Material Design from Google and I changed the primary colors. When I add an asset from Material Design in a new file this component does not come with the colors I applied before. Why? I checked the original file and it is fine there. Also, my team’s library is set to use Material Design… What I am missing? Thank you in advance for any help…

I have some variables created in a library file. For one of the variable groups, I have set the scoping to: However, the Rounded values still appear in other number-type properties such as text size. How do I make it so that the Rounded variables are only visible in the relevant property? Thanks!

Hello, I’ve got 2 text blocks of differing widths that I’ve added left and right constraints to and attached them to the grid so they scale nicely when the frame is resized. Where I am trying to get to is that behaviour (example here: https://youtu.be/LSLP5VAUnUI ) but inside a container. The container would vertically resize to fit the text in when horizontally resized. If the text blocks were all the same width this would be a 2-second job with auto layout. I’m going around in circles trying to work out how to do it. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Cheers.

Hello, Our team has contacted Figma Sales a couple of months ago, multiple times and by multiple people. We have had no reply. Please help. Thanks, Tim

I have been following many different topics and basically have got my prototype to almost complete, however I am having trouble pushing it across the finish line. Hoping someone can help. I have created a multi-select menu where anytime an answer is “selected”, the CTA button should be “active” and if it is “default” the CTA is “disabled”. However, I want it so that 'if ANY answer =“selected”, then CTA = “active” and if ALL answers = “default” then CTA = “disabled” I have it working on each independent answer but i dont know how to get the CTA to react to Any or ALL.

I’m not sure what happened, but after editing a component on one of my files and then trying to view the prototype I quickly received an error message: " Figma ran into a problem Our team is looking into it now. If refreshing the page doesn’t work, check our status page for updates." With a refresh button below. So far, I’ve cleared the cache and restarted Figma, cleared the Figma cookies and restarted Chrome, and then realized that none of my Figma prototypes from ANY files will work on ANY browser. Has anyone ran into this problem before? I’ve been waiting most of the day on Figma support to get back to my support ticket, but who knows how long that will take and I have to demo this in front of clients next week at a conference. 😭

Can we even do it?

Do we have any alternative of Wixstudio plugin? by using which we can convert the Figma design to a fully working wix website? or when will wixstudio plugin be open to use?

Guys whenever I upload an image in Figma in high resolution, Figma lowers the quality of the image this is happening to me for the past 2 days. If you guys facing the same problem please let me know.

I logged into my Figma account and was surprised to see it empty as if it were a newly created account. Even when I checked the drafts > deleted files, it was empty. How can I recovered my account back to be normal?

Hey all 👋 Ever since variables have been released, I’ve been working extensively with them, especially for creating Light & Dark themes. What I really can’t wrap my head around just yet though is how to simplify my component structure even further. Ideally, I’d like to get rid of my “Dark Mode=True/False” property entirely and only have one single themed version of everything that themes itself by selecting the desired mode. So here’s what I usually do: I create the component and assign all necessary variables (in Light Mode) The component itself and its variants will be set to mode “Auto”, so are all nested components. By doing so I can inherit the parent layer’s mode when instancing the component in my designs. This works flawlessly and already saves a ton of time. Where it becomes tricky are all those (sub)components which cannot use variables, for example if they make use of background blurs. For all

I want to adjust the width of the black lines of my icon. It does not have a stroke. I can manually adjust the width with pen tool, and the X and Y value will change, but I’ll have to repeat it a lot and I won’t get the same width everywhere. How to adjust the width of this icon?

Hi, I feel like I have a problem, that should be relatively common with people creating prototypes. In general its a straight forward thing I want to achieve: I have elements in an AutoLayout When I click Element A, it should disappear and the other elements should move up When I click Element B, it should disappear and the other elements should move up And so on The Problem: The Layers don’t “really” disappear (I have set the height to 0.00001), so that i have a shift in the prototype every time I click on an element. What I have found in the forum as solution to set a height of the element, that should disappear to 0.0001, but as described this doesnt really work. This is a functionality, that is so common in everyday apps and software, that I am wondering if I am missing something?

Everything is in the title. When I group frames together they doesn’t show up on the prototype anymore.

In the ever present struggle of trying to keep my project files in order without folders, I was wondering if there is a list of the order that Figma uses to alphabetically sort files. It seems to be: Symbols (!,@,#,$,etc) Emojis Numbers Letters Can anyone confirm or deny?

On MacOS Sonoma Figma shuts up the fseventsd process 300% CPU, everything works so badly.

is there a built in render feature for rendering animations? most of the plugins are buggy, if not, do u have any free plugin recommendations

I have a graph where the data displayed can be changed by tapping Day, Month, or Year, and I have the default view as Month. I’m able to tap Day and Year to change to those respective views, however for some reason I’m not able to tap Month to return to the Month view. I have Month set to change to the Month view on tap, and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
