i know we can use plug-in to change Lao Font, but i don’t know why we can not type Lao font in FigJam (without plug-in)

In the local variables view, I would like the ability to select a bunch of variables and batch scope them, instead of doing them one by one, this would be a big time save, thanks

As described on the title. The pixel numbers going down the Y ruler don’t align with the pixels on the artboard as shown in the image. This is causing all sorts of issues. What is going on?

Hi, I created a file in Drafts and now need to move it to a workspace where I have permission, but I’m unable to move this file. What could be the reason?

I am trying to load images from URL using Figma.createImageAsync. But some images are showing properly and some are not. Some images were not showing up few days ago but few of them are loaded now. I am not sure why this happens. Even I downloaded those images to local and tried load to Figma, but was not shown. Can you help me please? Thank you!

Hi, I’m trying to split my UI js content into multiple files. The bundling works in theory, if I add the js files to my app.ts in my webpack configuration: entry: { app: ['./src/app.ts', './src/test.js'] // This is the entry point for our plugin code. }, The code of test.js now runs, but with strong limitations. The js in my ui.html cannot use the functions of the test.js If I try to use the DOM in my test.js, the plugin crashs I also tried to use a typescript format instead of js for my test file, so I can use the import command, but DOM related code like “document” is unknown for typescript. The main goal I want to achieve is simply having a cleaner structure and in best case, referencing my js content across files. 😃 I was also taking a look into the Libraries and Bundling documentation and tried it with the script tag and as said with the bundling as well to add more js files to my UI. Thanks for your help!

I created a component with instance for an app i am designing and after prototyping the menu tab to each different pages it is not responding on preview

The cover on FigJam looks broken. It no longer fills the entire frame and I’m using the correct sizes.

How do you give every student their own copy of a FigJam. I see how I can share my copy with them, so that we can collaborate on it, but I can’t figure out how to give each child their own individual copy.

hi, i wanted to create a rotating carousals effect i have seen it from youtube . i am facing a problem the rotation are working but theres a blank screen which appears in front while preview or play. Can you help me rectify my problem.

Hello, I would like to know why some fonts are highlighted in gray in the fonts dropdown list.

Estou com este problema a algumas semanas, o site não carrega completamente e quando entro em algum projeto ele fica carregando infinitamente, tanto no site quanto no app desktop, não é problema de internet pois está funcionando em outros sites. Alguém pode me ajudar?

Question: Is there some way/hack/plugin to scale Figjam content uniformly (like the scale tool does in Figma) Unfortunately, I need to distribute elaborate UI diagrams as PDFs as I cannot get other depts in my company to use Figma. nasty problem: When creating larger flows by copying screens (1280x800 embedded software design) from Figma into Figjam, the resulting PDF quickly grows beyond the maximum allowed size (in pixels I mean, not megabytes) Resizing them with the Scale tool (K) messes up the file since the elements from Figjam (stroke widths, fonts, arrowheads) do not scale uniformly. This means that I need to rescale every screen I paste into Figjam uniformly to 25%. This completely breaks my workflow Koen

Problem The simple “Field” hugs the height if I hide the layers of “Boxes”. The component “Field” doesn’t. Check video to better understand this.

Hello! Is there a way to swap the value of a component boolean property on a prototype? Something like, on click on a button, I want to set the collapsed boolean property of my component to true.

Hi! For some reason the Preview suddenly stopped scaling when I resize it to check my prototypes. For clarity, this happens when I’ve hit shift-space, and resize the preview either from the right side, or from the bottom. It just makes the preview screen bigger, and doesn’t scale the window like it used to do. First this happened in browser mode, and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong so I downloaded the Windows app and there it worked properly on all my prototypes. A few hours later just now it stopped working in the Windows app too. If I check on my other computer, a laptop, the Preview scales correctly. I’ve disabled all Chrome extensions and rebooted, nothing works. For reference the app scales under the menu here, so weird.

Hi everyone, recently I designed my portfolio on Figma and used a prototype as a portfolio website. Just wonder if we can change or redesign the launch screen of the prototype (while loading) to fit perfectly with my design. Thank you so much!

When I hit the play/pause media buttons on Windows, often it will try and play/pause any videos that are within Figma. I know this is a Windows issue, but I don’t know how to fix otherwise.

I made variables for the quantities of these three items (it’s the same variable) so that it reflects the cart icon. The tutorials I watched only show how to do it to one item, not more than one. Let’s say I want 1 pork, 3 chicken, and 5 beef. My cart icon isn’t able to add them all up to total 9. Any suggestions? I have two more just like this but with two different meats (Figma won’t let me post more than one photo)

I’m currently developing a web application, and I’m setting up the web to communicate through REST API once Figma is connected, storing the access token in each user’s database. Recently, the usage period of the access token has become very short(Like 5 minutes), so the role of the access token integrated through our app with Figma has become almost meaningless. It was written that the default access token validity period is 90 days on your document, and until recently, I could use the REST API for a long time with the access token stored in the database. Is there any update regarding access token? My same please access token : GET FIGMA TOKEN { ... iat: 1714080594, exp: 1716672594, ... } 1716672594 which means exp date can be converted to Saturday, May 25, 2024 5:29:54 PM GMT-04:00 DST But I got this 403 message : {"status":403,"err":"Invalid token"} The test API events are POST COMMENT GET COMMENT Those events seems work as soon as the token is generated but it doesn’t work wi

I’m addicted to Autolayout. I may have to join a support group. At any rate, there is something that frustrates me to no end. Suppose I have a complex autolayout frame, with lots of stuff in it, like this Table layout for instance: Now I decide I want to add a new element - a new frame, or maybe a line of text - to the bottom of the table element - all following the autolayout rules. There are only two ways I know how to do this: (very poor UX): draw the frame or drag the text element, let it fall inside whatever container Figma feels like putting it in, and then I have to drag it out of a - sometimes very deeply nested - tree structure within the layers pane and put it where it should go. (ok, but a waste of time): pan to some empty part of my document, create the element, then cut it, then select the autolayout frame and paste it in. What is so frustrating about this? a) I don’t really want to drag a frame or text item at all - I’m going to let autolayout rules resize it any

I’m looking for best practices to support a dev-team that is leveraging Tailwind. Many multi-modal semantic and component color variables have been created. But Dev-mode only shows the variable value in that instance. Rather than flooding the canvas with every possible instance (ie. light/standby, light/hover, light/focus, light/pressed, dark/standby… ) Is there a way to show nested parameters of variables in dev-mode? How do you approach this?
