Overlay position not honored when variant "change to" triggers

I have a component where I have built a workflow of 4 “views”, each a variant, where clicking in the right place does a “change to” to the next view. These all work fine. prob 1, you can’t have a button in a frame target a variant to open. So I worked around this by pulling an instance of the first view out, and that gets opened as an overlay. Still good. And the whole “change to” flow still works. Now for the problem. I updated the initial overlay call to position “bottom right”, which is ok, but now when the “change to” triggers, instead of changing in place, it shifts the overlay to centered. I’ve tried re creating the links, restarting, etc… no change. I tried manual position of the initial overlay, and it still jumps center when “change to”. This bug is a huge problem and limitation as I often need to create similar localized variant usage.

A frame of 1920px at 100% zoom is wider than native screen res of 1920x1080

Issue: When I zoom to 100% in design mode I expect to see a frame of 1920 px wide fill the width of my screen. It however extends the width. I tested to create a new frame and it does the same, it almost feels like the file has some scaling issue. Context: Platform is windows, in the desktop app… Screen resolution is 1920 wide, windows UI scaling is at 100%. Figma interface scale is also 100%

Create, Read, Update, Delete User APIs available?

I am currently exploring ways to integrate user management capabilities into our internal tools and was wondering if Figma provides public APIs for managing user accounts within an organization. Specifically, I’m looking for APIs that allow for the following actions: Create (Provision) - Programmatically adding new users to our Figma organization. Read (List/Get Details) - Fetching a list of users and their details from our organization. Update - Updating user account details such as roles, permissions, or other attributes. Delete (Deprovision) - Removing users from our Figma organization. I am aware of the SCIM API functionality for user provisioning and deprovisioning, but I am interested in direct API calls that could be used without SCIM, preferably RESTful endpoints that we can interact with using standard HTTP methods. If such APIs are available, could you please provide guidance on how to access them, or point me to the relevant documentation? Any examples or additional resour

Boolean operations moved to Properties is disrupting workflow

In the new update boolean operations moved from center top toolbar to a tiny, difficult to see spot in the corner of the properties panel. In the type of design I do I use these controls constantly and it’s been frustrating and disruptive. Constraints have also been moved and is less accessible. It would be great to allow the user to keep a custom top toolbar that is easily accessible, or at least maintain the original toolbar without having to revert to previous versions.

Craete a new Layer first, then paste on object or create a new one

Hi! Is it possible to add a functionality where I first create an empty Layer and then I draw or paste objects on it? Right now on paste, the new Layer is created to an expected position among the existing Layers and I need to move it manually to the place I need it to be. Thank you very much.

ScrollTo to a frame with a dynamic name

Hi! I miss very much a functionality where I can use scrollTo a frame with a dynamic name, for example to frame named (‘images’+‘i’) where ‘i’ is a number. Thank you.

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. If I see the showUI method it was only the below options - Do you think it’s possible to hide the header of the draggable panel ?

HELP! An element is showing in my prototype, but not on my project file?!

I’m creating a prototype for a certification I’m doing and whenever I try to test my prototype, a little icon shows up out of nowhere. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE in my project file - even going layer to layer - and to be honest I’m kinda going insane with this.

Can I detect user keyboard events within figma (not only the UI of the plugin)

I want to know whether the user is pressing for example “command” currently or not. Can I know this within the Figma file? Not sure how else I would make my plugin as seamless as the rest of Figma. Thanks in advance for any help!

How do I move Bullet Points to Left Margin?

I copied text from Chat Gpt and I cannot move the red bullet to get it to line up with the white bullet below. It’s immovable. Also from the which menu do I add bullets in Figma? (assuming I strip all Bullets from Chats’ answers first in Apple Text Edit) Thanks

Figma beginner, one on one training

I am new to Figma and come from a programming background (C#, HTML and CSS, Java Script). After viewing the appropriate videos and reading your official written documentation, I feel that none of it helps me understand the fundamentals. There does not appear to be any “Top Down” Videos or documentation. Of course, there is a lot of fragments covered in many videos and documentation but nothing I can find that ties it all together. From my perspective, and hr. or two spent with one-on-one training would save me many many hours sifting through multiple videos and documentation documents. While I understand that Figma does not currently offer one-on-one training, there must be some Figma expert out there that is willing to do a couple of paid hours of training. Anyone in the community interested?

To whom are the AI features available?

I have version 124.7.4 and a professional plan. Why am I not seeing the new ui or AI features? I am reading that it’s in limited roll out, but what does that mean? Individually, regionally, based on your plan? I am confused. The whole reason I upgraded to professional plan was for these features.

Duplicate pages loses prototype links, creates ghost frames

I’ve recorded a Loom explaining this in full, but short version: For some reason when you duplicate pages in Figma that contain Components with Prototype links, it loses the links and you’ll need to relink your Prototype. The links become linked to “Ghost frames” that disappear when you change the link destination away from them If you Create a new page and then Copy and paste your elements, those links are retained This seems like a bug, given I’m assuming Duplicate should just be a quick way of Create New Page > Copy and Paste everything to that page

Display two overlays simultaneously from one interaction

I’d like to know if it is possible to display two overlays - one that slides up from the bottom of the screen and another that slides down from the top of the screen with one tap on the screen. I have tried to do this and only one is showing at a time. I am not able to display two at once unless I create two hotspots, but I want both to be displayed by tapping on one hotspot.

Exporting vectors using the API

Hi guys, I am working on a desktop app that is supposed to convert Figma designs into code directly. The problem I am with is about the SVG’s and how Figma works with them. When I use the API: “https://api.figma.com/v1/images/${fileKey}?ids=${svgIds}&format=svg” , Figma treats each path inside an SVG as an independent SVG with a path inside. This always starts when you copy an SVG into Figma, and it is represented as some vectors. This will make Figma export them as different vectors when it was supposed to be all part of one SVG. first image shows the svg. second image shows how Figma interprets the svg when i past it on the design
