Hi! I cannot access figma design file generated with a help of Figma AI in “Developer Mode”.I have full seat.I have access to a file via organisation team.

Spinner not working, I have tried following some articles but nothing works

I am trying to create a script that would use figma apis to extract data from figma files. This script would run as a scheduled cron job and would be dealing with figma files from multiple teams. The basic approach of creating a PAT (Personal access token) seems very difficult to manage and scale as we have to get access to all figma files for the particular user.Is there a better way to achieve this ? Can an org wide token be created to achieve this ?What are other ways of performing such actions in production environments 

For example, I want the top border of a rectangle to be a solid line, the bottom border to be dashed, and the left/right sides to have no stroke at all. Is there a native way to apply different stroke styles per edge of a single object, or do I need to use separate lines of shapes as workarounds? Thanks!

Can anyone shed light on how I can get Figma to respond I am not able to access my figma account.Thank you.

Hi!I have a question that I would like to have an answer to in order to create/work with a plugin for Figma.I tested several Figma plugins related to string names generation/string push-pull and noticed that string IDs generated/pulled via plugin for text strings always override the actual names of text elements. Which means that plugin use these names as fields for meta-info. The actual text of the elements in kept in a container slot. And I can't change it without changing the text on my mockups. And looks like there is no other text field I can add information to.The question is, is there a way to keep meta-information (for example, textual) in some way for particular text elements in Figma? So that it is not kept as the name of text element or not kept as the actual text of the text element, but in some other way. If I need some meta-info to be connected to a particular text element, how can I do that? Does Figma API allow anything like that?

with figma make , when download file it’s has return full project code.my question is how to self run host server on my computer.and you said your components if ‘s from shadcn/ui structure 

I’m the admin of my workspace with the Professional plan, and I have a collab seat. How can I share a draft with viewing rights with my client, without having to upgrade to a full seat? Whenever I click the share button, I see the dialogue that I’m about to upgrade to a full seat. I even already upgraded by accident, which was annoying as it incurred extra cost for something I don’t need). On the free plan I’m able to share drafts without problem. Why isn’t that possible on the Professional plan? Here’s a screenshot of the dialogue that I get whenever I click the share button.  Would really appreciate some help with this, as it’s stated in the docs, that sharing designs with viewing rights should definitely be possible without upgrading the seat.  

Hello Figma friends,I am working on a prototype and having trouble making the 'Cancel' button in the final mockup to navigate to the tab where the Search entry point started from. I've tried using the 'Conditional' Action but nothing works.  Any kind advice are appreciated!!-----Figma file for testing:  

How can I copy frames created in Figma Make to Figma Design?

I am using theming.  I am creating a theme for each one of my brands.  One of my brands site background color is not a solid hex, however it is a linear gradient.  I am not seeing any way to do that within the variables.  Is that possible?

Hi everyone! Here is my setup:I have a main icon component that has all the sizes and the colors available.  There is an instance property on the main icon component where designers can select which icon they want (basically a nested component)  The nested icon component that is selected changes size and color depending on the settings of the main component Problem:We are adopting a new icon library I went into the icons that already exist and replaced the .svgs  I created new icons  Now all the instances of icon are not obeying the color property set in the parent and need to manually reset and reconfigured. This is hugely manual and annoying... is there something I can do to avoid all this effort, and why is this happening?

I’m taking a Figma class and in the video there are 2 things regarding ‘horizontal padding’ that are inconsistent with how my design is acting compared to the instructors. In the top left I can’t select the ‘Distribute horizontal spacing’ When I add horizontal padding to a group of components, it shifts them to the right, while and doesn’t add the correct padding on the left and right side of the cards which should push them 24 pixels inside of the parent frame.

Dear Figma Team,I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request access to Figma First Draft. As a user currently on the free plan, I am very interested in exploring this feature to enhance my design workflow and bring more creativity and efficiency to my projects.I believe First Draft could be a valuable tool in helping me generate ideas and iterate faster, especially as I work on solo and collaborative design tasks. I’m eager to test its capabilities and provide feedback that could contribute to its development.Thank you for considering my request. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to try out First Draft and see how it can support my design process.Best regards,Mario

I upgraded to a Figma education plan, and while I am a current student, I do not plan on using Figma anymore and would like to cancel in advance, non-paid users cannot contact support.

When designing for the web, I often use effects like background blur, blend modes, or advanced layering techniques. However, not all of these are fully supported across all browsers or devices. I’d like to know if Figma has any tools, plugins, or best practices to help flag these kinds of compatibility issues early in the design process — or if this kind of consideration needs to be managed entirely outside of Figma.Any tips or workflows from others dealing with this would be appreciated.

Love the new grid layout, but will we be able to apply variables to gap values like we can in horizontal and vertical layout?

i have a website design on wix.how to convert that website design to code

In the past, when you created Colour Styles and Text Styles, you could (along with identically named components) swap them out for each other by using the “Swap library” functionality in the Libraries panel. That functionality still works, and is great. However, Variables don’t seem to swap over in the same manner, which makes some sense as they’re not detected by the “Swap library” panel currently. Is there any way you can switch out Variables in batch when swapping libraries so they update everything eg colour, padding margin, booleans etc, or am I unable to use Variables for anything outside of local styling for now? For context, I’m creating a design system for a white-label product that can swap the associated branding on the fly depending on the target client. Naturally, colours, fonts, logos etc need to be switched out, and they work fine with the older method of library definition, but Id like to be able to specify padding, margins and other similar properties as part of the br

Hi,I have lost my most recent and the most important file on Figma and I can’t find the file in any of my projects section or in the deleted section. It just disappeared completely.I am the sole owner and editer for that file.It wasn’t a file in a team and it wasn’t in the deleted section either. I didn’t delete the file. I think maybe a bug in the “drafts to move” update on Figma, which I clicked a few days/weeks ago. Today when I launched my figma, it briefly told me the file transfer is still in progress? but then there’s nothing. And I have checked my emails to see if there are any teams deleted and nothing there too. Can the backend see or have the names of all the design files I created, deleted or moved somewhere. Maybe that can help what happened to the file. Again, it was my most recent created and edited file.I really needed that file, it contains all my works from my last company that laid me off a few months ago. Please help.

Hi, I’ve been trying to recreate a commercial tartan pattern for myself trough Figma, and though it looks almost okay, the spacing in between the horizontal lines below (created by a clipping layer) always seems to be uneven.The solid squares in the center look almost rectangular due to the clipping mask, the white squares in the corner end up being actually rectangular, despite all white borders being equally wide, and the spacing in the bottom white stripes are closer together in the middle. I know it must be caused by either ratios or my clipping layer, but I’m not sure which math is required to make a perfect square tile. Frame/tile size: 2250 pxPurple stripe: 306.8 px wideWhite stripe: 41.11 px wideClipping mask stripe: 10.2 px wide The entire pattern is created by making all vertical stripes first, then duplicating that layer and rotating it by 90 degrees, and then appying the striped clipping mask in between the vertical and horizontal layers The reason I’m using Figma is becaus

Hi everyone,I'm working with a Figma Make file that's based on the Tailwind CSS library. I'm looking to customize some of the default Tailwind styles directly within Figma Make to match our specific brand guidelines, and I'd love to hear your insights on the best way to approach this. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to Modify color palettes.For example, changing the  blue-500  to a specific brand blue, or adding new brand-specific color variations while maintaining the Tailwind naming conventions if possible.

In prototype mode, the hover effect (“while hovering”) sticks and does not disappear after hovering over an element. As a result, when hovering over several objects, all hover effects remain on the screen. What is the bug? : worried: Closing and reopening the prototype helps solve the problem. But after some time, the bug may appear again. It looks like some kind of memory problem, in general, prototypes and files take a long time to load and sometimes slow down. It’s very unpleasant to work. In Figma via macOS app
