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.

When I copy any Figma frame using Cmd+Shift+C (copy as png), it gives a message “copied as png” but when I try to paste it in google slides, it doesn’t work. As if there’s nothing in the clipboard. Tried clearing the clipboard still doesn’t work.

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

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all having a great day today.My problem is that, whenever I start to write any text, all the letters are in capital letters.I used to correct it with the old Figma version, but now with the latest version, how can I correct this ? I don’t find it like in the past version. Could somebody help please on this and tell me exactly where can I click on the new version? Thank you !

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!

Hello. I have recieved notification on email that my student plan expires in 4 weeks, though it has been only 1 year since i’ve registered in figma and i also verified my edu plan this year. I have read that student plan is valid for 2 years, so why mine expires so soon?

Is there a way I can convert my Figma Make design to Figma design?

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?

I just can’t extract an image using Figma MCP. As you can see its successful, but it gives me a url like this, which doesn’t point to anything hence the images do not get rendered. Also attaching my Figma MCP settings. And before anyone talks about it losing context etc because of the size. This is what I’m exporting, just this… Because I just want to find out how to do a successful export with an image.

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.

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?

We have Figma integrated with with SSO and SCIM for provisioning access to all employees, while also granting Dev Mode access to a few of them, but we usually end up getting tons of random Dev Mode access requests from in-product options, which are misleading, since we can’t automatically grant people access without opening a support ticket first to ensure the SCIM permissions are correct. How to turn that in-product option that offers people to request Dev Mode access off, so we can stop inducing people to request it outside of our IT support loop?

There doesn’t appear to be anyway to set text to be multi columns in Figma Slides. I know there are plug-ins to create the effect, however these still don’t allow the text to overflow into the next column. It’s a very common feature across other presentation tools like Keynote and Powerpoint, anyone know a fool-proof work around so I can add it into our company templates?

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.

There seems to be a bug where the Min and Max values do not show up on component instances? The values do get applied, but they do not show up in the W (width) and H (height) fields, so there is no way to see that’s where the width is coming from, or to clear the min / max when an override is needed. NOTE: this seems to happen only with nested components. In my example I have a button component, inside a “Button Group (Save or Cancel)” component. An instance of the button shows the Min width, but the button in an instance of the button group does not. Possibly related: Can’t remove min and max height when the component is nested

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.
