"Navigate To" is not working inside of a conditional interaction

I want an if statement where two booleans are true, in order to navigate to another artwork, when a button is clicked. In my design, when the user clicks “match file” I want my prototype to check first if two of the booleans are true, before it takes me to another artwork. so, inside of my component, I created a conditional interaction:| if boolean1 === true and boolean2 === true navigate to “flowerror” else navigate to “home” when i copy and paste this component in my art work and click on play to see the prototype, it doesnt work. what am I doing wrong? please advice.

Embedded preferred variant value inside a component variant(?)

Hello Figma community! I tried valiantly to see if there was an answer to this question, but if there is one I’ve missed, I apologise! I’m currently attempting to build out a design system for a team of product designers I’m working with and I’ve run into a little snag. In the attached screenshot, you can see I have multiple size variants of a button. Nano, micro, default, kiosk and shakeMachine. I have successfully created embedded icons with instance swap properties, however I now need to create variants of the icons at different sizes to account for kiosk and beverage machines. I created a variant of the “Check” Icon, at 24px for the default size, and at 36px for the kiosk size. However, it appears there is no way to set a default variant for a variant! Is there any way this can be set? Would I need to separate out my buttons to variants based on size? I hope this makes sense, any advice would be tremendously appreciated. Cheers!

Is there a way to tell if Figma Frame built-in Frame sizes are up to date?

e.g. iPhone SE is 320 wide in Figma, whereas Chrome dev tools have an iPhone SE at 375 wide. I’d love to be able to more rely on these built-in frames, instead of having to scour the internet for the most up to date resolutions. I know Apple is to blame here, but yeah

Show something when at least 1 checkbox is checked

I want to create a dynamic behaviour where if at least 1 checkbox in a group is checked, display some other content. I am fiddling with local variables and layer opacity, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get the more complicated version going. I am trying to avoid to make the group a component with it’s variants. Do you guys have any idea how to solve this? Figma – 11 Sep 23

After delay overlay stuck in loop

Hi! I’m trying to create a prototype where I click a button which results in the button changing it’s state and then an alert banner overlay appearing at the top. So right now I have it built like this: UI with a button saying “turn on” Click button, which changes state to “Request sent” There is a delay set on the “request sent” variation that has an alert banner overlay appears at the top. The problem I’m having is that once you close the alert banner overlay, it resets the delay and it appears again and then stuck in the loop every time I close it. Is there any way to make it only trigger once?

Clients experiencing problems reviewing designs

Do your clients/stakeholders have problems using the Figma links and viewing screens/prototypes via a browser? Have experienced a few times now where a client wants to print out designs or struggles to navigate/scroll the designs. This sounds like we are giving them something complicated. I’m just sending links and having them open the page, for feedback on single pages… When it comes to reviewing prototypes, is there a good way to hand over clickable journeys so that stakeholders understand what they are looking at? I’m hoping this is a common issue, and not just whatever it is I’m doing. Thanks

Exclude locked layer from measurements

I want to overlay a locked display bezels layer on all my frames, but it prevents me from using the “alt” key to inspect measurements between elements beneath the locked overlay layer. Is there a way to exclude a locked layer from measurements? In Sketch, all locked layers are automatically excluded.

Whenever i move an element it places it on a decimal point on the X-axis

Whenever I drag an element in my Figma file it seems to place the element on an uneven decimal point (always .33). I can input an even number but if I drag the element it changes to .33 again. Input 6 on X-axis After being dragged

Facing problem to play figma file

Last month, when I created a new file in Figma for the web dashboard, it was not playing at all (flick Continuously). Then we buy Figma for 1 month thinking that Figma will not have this kind of problem in the paid version. But now we are facing the same problem. Though there is no problem in prototyping, but the file is not open. What should I do Please suggest me. Thank you

What happens to advance prototyping if I move a file from a paid team to a free one?

Hi! My company is considering acquiring a paid plan but we have some questions. We understand that a paid Team’s files will get locked if it gets downgraded to a free plan, so in that case it would be better to move them to Drafts or a free Team before downgrading. But what happens if we move a file in which we used paid tools (such as advanced prototyping or variable modes) from a paid Team to a free one? Will the prototyping interactions and the variable modes simply dissappear, mantaining the rest of the design? Thank you in advance.

How can I publish updates to an existing plugin from a different machine?

Hi there, A couple years ago I published a community plugin with my team. Since then I have bought a new machine which I have reinstalled Figma on and cloned the plugin repository onto. How do I get Figma to recognize that the cloned plugin code on my new machine corresponds to the live community plugin? Right now I am unable to push the updates I have made to my local copy.

Code.js is replaced when setting up Typescript compliation

Hi, I am using javascript to develop a plugin. I write the code for my plugin in code.js. However, whenever I setup Typescript compilation (as per the guide here: Plugin Quickstart Guide | Plugin API), my code.js file is replaced. From what I can tell, it is replaced by what is in code.ts. At the same time, if I copy and paste my code from code.js into code.ts, I get errors. Is this going to be a problem when I go ahead and officially launch the plugin? So for example, if I have functioning code in code.js, and I then submit the plugin, will that code get replaced by what is in code.ts?

Auto Layout Nested Design for Icons and Text

Hello all, I’ll get straight to the point, how do you recreate this icon alignment here in Google settings using 1 nested Auto Layout group, or is it not possible without separating them? (Because that’s what I did to achieve the desired result) Though I was wondering if it is actually possible to do it with Auto Layout alone for future use. Thank you

What size to design a frame for a website

Hello! I am new to web design and I was wondering if I could get any guidance based on what size to design a website template that later would be loaded to the web. I would like to design one for a mobile device, and one for pc. Do I need to design two templates? Is there a way to design one size then scale it to size? Will the website be automatically sized based off the device? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josef G
