Education plan expiring but I have a starter plan

I got an email saying my education plan is expiring in 4 weeks, but I never signed up for that plan. I signed up for the starter plan. Do I have to upgrade my plan to keep my projects? Is there a plan that is just for me, since I’m not working with anyone else on my projects?

It will be very usefully if figma can support Chatgpt's "Work with apps" in future

Chatgpt now has a awesome feature named “Working with Apps”, and now is available for xcode chatgpt can read the content inside xcode, and provide answer base on it. Try to image if Figma can also support that. I can just ask chatgpt to provide wording advice during my design workflow, it will be very useful. 😀

How to do 360° rotation?

Hi everyone! In Figma, how to rotate an object for a full 360-degree cycle? For example, let’s say we have a “+” symbol that we want to rotate in a prototype. When we set the rotation from 0° to 360°, Figma interprets it as 0 degrees, resulting in no animation at all. Thanks in advance.

Looping animation in Figma Slides stops after one round

Hi all, I created a looping animation component using smart animate that starts automatically after a delay of 1ms. It works just fine when I preview it in the Figma file. However, when I paste the same component into Figma Slides, the animation stops after one round when it’s supposed to loop back to the beginning. I’m thinking this is a bug since it works in the regular Figma project, but won’t work in Figma Slides. If you’ve run into this problem, how did you fix it?

I duplicated a frame and now it won't link

Hi friends, I did search this topic. There was one other topic, but the learner had no replies, so I am hoping I can get some. I duplicated a frame in Figma to save myself some work, and now it won’t link. Is this a known issue? If I want linking do I have to make each frame from scratch? Thanks so much for your time and effort in helping me, I really appreciate it! ~R

incorrect image export in the plugin

The text node and the rectangle with the image are children of the frame. The Image itself is larger than the visible part and the frame. I’m trying to export the image as follows: let settings = { format: “PNG”, suffix: ‘’, constraint: { type: “SCALE”, value: 1 }, contentsOnly: true }; let bytes = await rectangleNode.exportAsync(settings); As a result, both the Image and the text are exported. It turns out that the image is cropped to the Frame, but only the visible part of the Image is needed. how to export correctly?

Wacom tablet not working properly with Figma

I haven’t been able to use my Wacom tablet with Figma at all, because the Pan/Zoom option seems to not work correctly. Here’s a video of the behavior of this function in Figma, versus the expected behavior shown in Adobe Photoshop: Figma Wacom tablet bug It doesn’t allow me to pan vertically, and both the horizontal panning and the zooming are way too sensitive despite being set to the lowest possibly value. What surprises me the most is that there are a couple of similar messages in the forum asking about the same bug, but none of them received any answers.

Exporting only the "viewable" part of a custom image

Hello all! I’m trying to export an image from a Figma project to be used in Webflow… The image is actually a mask group (a person w/ no background and circle object to the right in the bg.) I was wondering if there was any way to only export the “visible” part of the image… The shape is a full circle but I only want the part of the circle that is shown in the frame… Hopefully this ? makes sense and any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Boolean properties - how to turn one boolean off when turning another on?

Hello, i saw somewhere someone create a toggle (boolean) to turn a property on or off e.g show icon or hide icon, and on toggling that boolean, another toggle would switch off. I was wondering if anyone has done this and where i can go to learn how to do it. It would be v helpful. Another example: I have two property boolean switches. One is to show/hide an orange pin. One is to show/hide a grey pin. I would never show both at the same time. How can i create a condition whereby if i decide to toggle and show the orange pin, it automatically switches the other boolean toggle and switches grey pin off?

How to close the previous overlay?

Hi folks. Imagine there’s a Navigation drawer which opens in an overlay. Now you pick an item from the menu and it opens a dialog - obviously in another overlay. Now, how to close the previous overlay? This is my sandbox:Figma – 16 Nov 24 A few screenshots: Here is a screencast, showing that the underlying overlay with Navigation drawer doesn’t get closed.

New Apply Property/Variable button

I see you have recently rolled out an update to have this button, allowing to bind a property or variable to selected layer: This is so much convenient to create either prop or variable from the same place. But I am wondering… Why don’t you do the same when click on this applied variable name? As you can see, it is still old menu and old modal, just allow binding or creating properties, why isn’t variable included? I still have to detach property before I can swap it to any variable. If the update is not ready, please tell us. Or just simply make the UI consistent everywhere in the app.

Figma App should mirror actual size

When mirroring a frame to the Figma App on either iPhone or iPad, it automatically fits the frame to the screen, but I desperately need it to stay the actual size. I’m designing for screens (ie: automotive) that aren’t the size of the tablet/device I’m mirroring them in and need to see a preview of what they’d look like in prod. This should be so simple to include as an update but for whatever reason it’s not available.

Video playback is dysfunctional in Figma Slides

I have placed multiple video files (.mov and .mpeg4) into a Figma slide, and de-actived “autoplay.” When viewing the slide in presentation mode (either standard view or full screen), the videos do not play when clicked. If I skip to the next slide, then return to the slide with the videos, they play as expected. Major bug, not new, must have feature… please fix it.

Figma not allowing me to select multiple guides at once?

Were users ever able to select multiple guides at once? Trying to move horizontal guides all at once to realign with something on the pasteboard. Currently the guides go across auto layout objects and objects on the pasteboard, if that makes any difference. Don’t know why it would do though. Just put it there to be thorough. But yeah, it should be a basic function. *Currently have the latest Figma 124.5.5 on Mackbook Pro 2019, 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.

Extra Space in Text Container (width)

When text wraps to a new line either using auto layout or establishing a max-width, the container keeps extra space to the right based on the length of the word that wraps to the next line. Even when set to auto width, the container doesn’t hug the text completely. I’ve tried a variety or solutions but cant seem to get rid of the extra space.

Not seeing Local Variable displayed in Typography Section

Hello! I need help locating the variable button. I’m following a tutorial where they attach a number variable to a text box. In my Typography section, I can see options to attach variables to line height and letter spacing. However, I don’t see an option to assign a variable to the entire text box content, which is what I’m trying to do. The dark theme screen shot is mine and the light theme screen shot is from the fallow along video.
