Grid (Beta) question - extending a full bleed block edge to edge

Hi everyone, I’ve just started experimenting with the new Grids auto layout beta version. How do I get this square rectangle block to go from edge to edge of the webpage? I’ve added 10px padding either side of the webpage grid, however everytime I extend it, it snaps to the auto grid? I would like this to extend past the grid to the very edge! I’ve tried holding down shift and drag, however this creates another frame on top of the existing webpage frame and it needs to all be within one frame.

Remove unused editor seat?

Hey y'all, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I just added a user to my team account, when I meant to swap their seat with another user who was no longer using it. So now I have this unused seat I'm going to be billed for - and I can't find any way to remove it. I've googled and chatted with their AI bot. Can anyone point me to where I can remove an unused seat so I'm not billed for it? Can someone from figma also please explain the decision to hide this UX and make it so unclear?

The best custom made veneers

I've been meaning to share this for a while now, especially with anyone who has been contemplating about having bespoke Vida Veneers Custom-Made but doesn't know where to start. A few months ago, I was in the same boat, going through reviews, looking at before-and-after photographs, and second-guessing every selection. But I'm really glad I eventually did it.

Is there a way to export the new "texture" feature of Figma as vector?

Hi! I'm doing some Figma illustrations and need to print them so I'm transferring them over to Illustrator. Is there a way to export the new "texture" feature as vector? I've tried: flattening, outlining the stroke, exporting as SVG/PDF, but nothing's working. Hope someone can help (and apologies if this has already been asked and I missed it) 🙏🏻

Is Figma no longer interested to continue as a UX Design tool

With the recent Figma config and features it introduced, I feel figma isnt really interested in introducing newer features for UX Designers. I have this opinion based on Figma introduced Figma Make, where it can build and iterate websites based on a prompt (Feature targeted towards a general public rather than a UX Designer) Breakpoints in Figma Sites and not in Figma File (Figma introduced breakpoints for Figma Sites where we can design and publish in actual websites) but did not introduce the feature in actual Figma files which many have asked for. (As if Figma is trying to tease, we can do it, but we won't as we don't think UI design is persist for long) First Draft (First draft is where it would have been helpful if instead of a default library, they could have added a feature where we could add our own library) Again here they did not improve upon it, rather made huge advancements in Figma Make, which is targeted toward a general audience. What do you guys think, am I right?

How Can I Prevent This Node Problem?

Hi figpals, I'm creating an icon, and this issue has been bothering me lately. Right now, the only way to solve it is with a hack. I know there are ways to fix it, but I really need to avoid repeating this workaround in a loop. If there's a way to prevent me from having to do this hack over and over again, it would be a huge help. So here's the case: First, i create an icon (absolutely) like below: What I want to ask is about focusing on a selected object. I’m using an inside stroke for icon weight, which makes it easier to control the size measurements and set the radius for each corner. Then, to finalize, I need to vectorize the stroke using the “Outline Stroke” feature. And here’s what happens: A line appeared at the bottom, and what’s even stranger is that it only shows there. But when I enter edit mode, it looks like this: There is a visible line right there, so I tried to remove it as shown below: But this is what I ended up with: It removes the area right next to it, which keeps

Help with Image compression in Child Frames?

Hi there. To create my prototype, I am cutting and pasting a lot of images into my Frames. Currently on one of my Parent Frames, I created a child Frame to import an image. I was finally able to get all the content in however, there is a big gap to the left - please see attached. I would like all content to be preserved and just expand the width. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do? I will be doing a lot of cutting and pasting into frames. So If someone has a clean step by step process of how I can easily insert an image, keep all contents and expand it to the parents length that would be amazing. I am all ears. I spent a full day trying to solve this problem, which is probably a simple fix :) Many Thanks, Susanne

Responsive web page with autolayout

Hello, all, my name is Marina. I am a graphic designer lives in Greece. I have also background in web design. The last year decoded to transit to UX/UI Design. I have finished the Google course and started getting into deep learning of Figma. I have started with a web site for an African NGO that is called KIRC. I have watched plenty of videos and tried to practice in “auto layout” and figure out how I can create a responsive web page. I realised that there must be two ways : Either create frames for different devices or create frames and component with “auto layout”. Can you help me to clear this in my mind and follow a clear pat? Here is the link of my web page: Have a nice day. Marina

Automatically charge for extra seats with no permission?

This is super scummy. Does anybody know where we can complain in the Eu about it? Maybe people would like to jump on a groups case against Figma. This is so low. I’ve been buying my motnhly single user subscription (18e), this month they charged me for 8 people + 5 FigJam seats. Lol, nobody asked for this, they did this on their own. This is mega unprofessional and scammy.

How Do You Make a Circular / Ring Slider?

Hi! Industrial Designer turned UX Designer now. Is there a way to make a circular/ring slider in Figma? I see many tutorials for automatic/animated progress rings but I can’t seem to find how to make an actual user-controlled ring slider. I am also not referring to a linear/bar slider - however, this circle slider would interact just like a bar slider but move in a circle. Attached here, you’ll see what I’m referring to. For instance, you see these slider rings in various apps where you can set the time, temperature or some other kind of parameter with your finger by dragging the length of the highlighted circle/ring. Any help or direction to a tutorial showing this is much appreciated!!

Publish the design system

I have created a design system for a mobile app in a Figma file (lets call it A). Also, my project files are also in the same Figma files but in different pages.. Now the problem is, my Figma file is getting heavier and sometimes, it takes too much time to load. I tried publishing the design system (lets call it B), but every time I call a component, it directs me to the main components in the design system A. Where am I doing wrong? and what is the solution to publish the design system so that my current components sync with it (B), and not with the A.

Variable not working

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my variable list, particularly as it pertains to a drop-down menu I want to create. Below you can see the screenshot of the list (with the placeholder text “Button”). I’m trying to replace the placeholder text with the String variable I created “Grocery”. I want to replace all the placeholder text as well. Figma isn’t letting me replace the placeholder text with my desired variable. I’m not sure how else I can replace the text because there’s no option to do so manually. Hoping someone can help with regards to this.

Is it possible to create auto layout for selected layers?

I want to create auto layout for multiple selected layers. When I select multiple layers and press Shift + A, it wraps the layers in another frame with auto layout enabled. However, my intention was to apply auto layout for each layer. Is it possible to achieve this? Because I don’t want to click on each layer and press Shift + A. Thanks!

Conditional interaction doesn't run in preview

Updated: I saw someone visited my file and it was fixed. Many thanks 😊Hi guys, I have created this conditional prototype for the phone country code. The default country code is Germany. When I click in India the conditional prototype works but when I click back to Germany, it doesn’t change Germany to active.

Please someone help me with this. Thank you 🙏 Figma link: default It works when I click on India, but when I click back on Germany, nothing happens

Components cant contain instances of themselves

I have a component called “Dropdown base” and it has a couple of variants. For some reason I cannot insert a Button component I also have in my design system inside any of the variants. All the other components can be inserted fine: search bar, icons, chips, tags, anything Only with the Button component I get the error saying “Components cant contain instances of themselves” Which I dont understand because the Button is not an instance of the Dropdown base… is this a bug? thanks!

Figma Sites prototype different from design

I am designing my portfolio with Figma Sites and I have these buttons at one size when I am designing them, but when I open my page in prototype or publish it and check it, it is a completely different size. I also have an issue with my headers changing from bold when designing to becoming regular weight when prototyping. I don’t know if this is an issue on my part, or if it is a bug, thank you.
