how do i get the plugin

I have used variables extensively to create a prototype which is greatBut now I want to create some documentation showing various states of a page.Problem is that I want the visuals in the documentation to stay fixed, but they update every time I toggle a variable valueIt seems there is no way to tell a frame to ‘ignore’ all the variable bindings it has within it… any ideas how I can solve this problem?

I received an email that says I have two weeks left on the education plan. It briefly states what will happen and what you can do about it. However, I'm still confused. I’m not sure how it'll affect my account and what I can or can't do with my files. I would love more clarity. Right now, I have two teams and have drafts and projects in both. One is a free team and the other is and education team. I have the most drafts in my education team as it’s the one I have been using the most. The main question I have is:Does this mean I won't be able to edit any files in my drafts under my education team? Will I only have access to the "free" team and need to move my drafts from the education team to my free team? Or can I still edit in the other team because the filed are in the drafts?Thank you in advance to anyone who can help answer my questions! 

The checked state of my checkbox is only visible while hovering, and disappears when the hover state ends. I’m using a hover interaction in a menu prototype with checkboxes. When I select a checkmark, it gets selected, but when my cursor leaves whatever item I selected and I go to the next item the checkbox disappears. It seems like the selected checkmark is not persisting and only being applied to the hover state. Additionally, it seems when I hover on the item again, the check mark shows as selected, but only during its hover state.  What’s also odd, however, is that when my cursor leaves the menu and goes outside of the frame the checkbox will still be selected. Any solutions to this problem?  Checkmark selectedCheckmark gets unselected when I go to the next item.  

I am not able to rotate gradients when I add the swatches from the Variables, however if they are not linked to the variables there’s no issue.

Hey, I did POC with Code Connect and found that the code will work only with Figma component. For example, we have BottomSheet in our design system file but Product team need to detach it so they can custom content inside. The detached BottomSheet won’t have code connect feature unless Product team make the component and write the code from their side. Any suggestion to control this from design system team?

Hello. For some reason, my design has been deleted, but I don’t know why. If I contact Figma support, can they help restore it?

I’m using seperate files as a way to distinguish different versions of a website prototype. Each of seperate file has identical text styles but as I copy content between each file the applied text styles are lost. Is there anyway to for this not to occur?  

Hi, I would like to ask if there is any way to export my figma file to psd file that keeps the layers as I designed them in figma. Thank you

Hi there, an admin approved a dev seat request when they didn’t mean to. Is there a grace period before we are charged for the seat?

I have a graphic of a chain (vector) that I need to simplify so I can bend as a whole, rather than individual points. I’m trying to achieve a more fluid look, similar to an “S” shape.I’ve tried a few things but it seems like there is another step, maybe outside of Figma, that I need to do.Any help is appreciated! 

Why does the community tab now auto closes when i pick a file, I like how it works way back then when i can click multiple files using shift + click and it opens in new tabs. The new update made it so I can only choose one at a time and now this latest update its forcing me to go click the community page and search over again if i want to explore files. So frustrating.

Hello, I am experiencing what seems to be a bug. When I import a path in Figma, it shows some strange artifacts.ImgBB This artifact also shows when exporting to raster (PNG). It seems to be something having to do with pixel hinting. But I cannot get rid of it. Anyone knows what might be causing it? Thanks

I created rectangles in Figma Slides and copied them to Figma, their name turn into purple “shape with text”. How to keep them blue like regular rectangle?When I try to resize, they always add round corner automatically even if I change the corner radius to 0 manually before resize. Really annoying! How can I remove them? I know I could just create a new rectangle. but really want to figure out this useless function.

Hi there, If anyone can please help me with two things: Why when I open the app on my iPhone does a message pop up saying some missing fonts were replaced when in prototype mode? The font of the “Confirm” button which is in Helvetica is then not as I have it set. The Button does have some variables to reset Time/ Date selections after a delay but not sure if that is the issue? When I open Prototype Mode on the Figma app on my iPhone and view my Prototype some of the variables I have set no longer function as they should? But when I view the Prototype on the desktop app it works perfectly fine? Appreciate you taking the time to help out. 🙂

Hi Figma Community, I am currently on the latest version of Figma UI3 and I can’t find the annotation and measurement tools anywhere in Design Mode. It was accessible while I was on UI2. I can see the comment tool as a standalone button on the toolbar, but I can’t find or use any shortcut to toggle the annotation and measurement tools.

We have a note comment component which uses the dropdown icon component inside. The dropdown icon has the following actions: Edit & Clear. When i choose edit i want to link the note comment variant - default to the variant edit. But for as now I think it is not possible to link an option from another component to a new variant for the note comment component.  

Hi there!I'm a bit stuck and could use some help. I'm trying to demonstrate the focus state for accessibility purposes using the Tab key, so developers can see how focus behaves when users navigate with the keyboard.The issue I'm facing is that the element doesn't reset when moving on to the next one. I've tried using it both with and without "reset component state," but it just doesn't work as expected.Do you have any idea what might be causing this?Here's an example:  

I followed a YouTube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6L2xdX-TXc) on how to create a carousel slider, but the only difference is that my version contains text only. Once I applied the “SMALL” property to the “Frame 60” and chose the "2" variants, the text scaling didn’t work like I thought. I tried auto layout and set the constraints to scale, but it didn’t work. Please excuse my choppy explanation; I can't find the solution anywhere.

I want to create a variable for a font style that is italic and has a defined font weight (eg. 450). Is it possible to create a variable to handle this case?

I am trying to apply for the educational plan. However, when I click on https://www.figma.com/education/apply, it shows me “you’re in” and “go to Figma” instead of application also the plan doesn’t change. I emailed support@figma.com, and they replied by stating that I should ask here in the community forum. Please help me out. For your reference I have attached the screen.

Hello, I have 2 questions:first, if I need to create an interaction to a particular destination page, it won’t let me until I do create ‘create component’ for an object and choose it. Is there a way that I can make the destination is the whole page?second, the prototype doesn’t show the whole screen for my design and doesn’t allow roaming between the  interactions I created freely . Am I doing something wrong?I included what I mean in the 2 screenshots below. Thank you in advance.
