No fixed position option when using auto layout?

I have an auto layout frame where I’m trying to get the nav bar to fix position at the top of the frame. There is no option in prototyping like when fixing a nav bar in a normal frame. Is this not do-able or am I missing something? I’d also like to create a back to top button in a frame but that doesn’t seem to be possible either. Thanks!

Insert this frame one level higher.

Hey! I came across the same issue and followed Timo5 advice but then my design stops being responsive. Is there a way to solve this? :)

I have same problem. It seems no way to use responsive design in auto layouts and fixed elements together. Elements in “fixed” section must ignore auto layout and can't be responsive. It’s haven't “fill” option in “width”, if “ignore auto layout” enabled.

After weeks/months of trials getting discouraged about this, today i finally managed to keep the design responsive while using ‘ignore autolayout’ function on a particular element (in order to preserve its ‘fixed position’ option): After choosing ‘ignore autolayout’ for that element, constraints window appear and from there its necessary to modify its constraints to ‘left and right’ (or ‘scale’) for the horizontal axis, and ‘Top’ for the vertical one...DON’T CHOOSE the ‘Center’ option (which i thought was ok before), but only the ones i stated above.
Then if necessary go back to prototype options and choose ‘fixed position’ in scroll behavior tab again.

Edit: I just found it to be in one window together, sorry haha

 

Great idea! I wanted to try it out right now, but I can´t set the constraints to left and right only f.ex. left and top or bottom etc. Both together is not available. How did you manage to do that? Working on my Bachelor´s project so it would be amazing to hear from you!!
