Typography primitives variables / styles

I’m wondering if anyone has a file that shows the correct way to set up / organize typography primitives / styles for both desktop and mobile and how styles and variables work together. I’ve had a look in the community and not finding anything robust. Thanks!

New UI Rollout - Teaching Figma

Hello, I’ve been teaching a UX/UI course at the University of Pennsylvania for the past few years, a critical part of which is teaching students how to use Figma for all aspects of the product design process. The rollout of UI3 has been presenting a host of issues in this new semester. I still do not have the new UI available in my account. As an instructor, this means I cannot use it myself to properly update my materials and help students troubleshoot its usage. Half of my students are able to revert to the old UI, but all students who have newly created accounts are unable to do so. This effectively means half of my students are using the new UI, and half are not. All of our materials and tutorials are based on the old UI, and already this is presenting a lot of confusion. Is there a way to prioritize the rollout of the new UI to my account, so that I can effectively teach my students? I’m concerned that these issues will only compound as we continue to learn more complex function

Create an overlay that has a 100% of the vertical space depending on the user's resolution

When opening an overlay that is a side sheet on a Desktop prototype there is no way to define this overlay to fit the 100% vertical space. This is very important since the overlay has a sticky bar that should be always visible but on some low-resolution laptops this is not he case. There is no way I can design this in a flexible manner so the high-resolution and low-resolution desktop devices can have an optimal view of the design.

Export Interactive PDFs

I am trying to get my whole design team using Figma for as many assets as possible. Sometimes we still get requests to make interactive PDFs (think internal HR benefits doc) to be attached to an email. I just need some text (and some graphics) to link out to external sites when clicked. The solutions I have seen posted so far are to not use a PDF and just use a prototype (this will not work for us, for now we still need PDF) or to make a link with text and put it over the graphics with 0% opacity (this makes for a messy, less collaborative file). Is it possible to get what I am looking for or is it a possibility for future Figma releases? I know we are asking a lot of this program…I just love it so much I want to ditch other tools. Thanks!

Dropdown component within master component doesn't work in instance

I made a dropdown component and placed it within a datepicker component where you first have to open the calendar mode, then choose year and month. However, the dropdown wont open properly. Only the open/close chevron sign will rotate. How will I fix this?

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. If I copy the main component and change the symbol, the mask will be broken. (And instance swap is applied to the main component.) Please tell me why.

Elements appear in my feed sharing links without being present there

Hello, I have a problem with my feeds on Figma. I created a feed for each of my 4 mobile screens, and then copied the corresponding links to send to my client. However, when I pass the links to it, only the first one works correctly. The other three redirect to elements of the model present on other pages, which are not at all linked to the flows concerned.

Figma library issues, Not loading variables and comps

My library colors won’t load today, and I don’t know what the issue is. I’ve tried several tricks, like removing the library and adding it again, but it still won’t load my variables. I’m also on a tight deadline 😦

How to Remove Default Arrows on Lines in FigJam for Mind Maps?

Hi everyone, After a recent update in FigJam, I’ve noticed that the default setting for lines in mind maps now automatically includes arrows. This wasn’t the case before, and it’s causing some frustration as I prefer using simple, arrow-free lines for my mind maps. Is there a way to change the default line settings so that arrows aren’t automatically added? I’d like to avoid having to manually remove arrows every time I create a new connection. Any tips or solutions would be really helpful!

PDF exporting

I need to export my frames to a multiple page PDF for print, but it keeps exporting into 1 single page. I have tried the “frames to pdf” already and it still exports in 1 page instead of 10 so the printer can’t work with it.

Moving files to draft before Student Plan expires

My educational plan is about to expire and I’d like to keep important files across 3 different teams. How should I proceed to keep my files after the current plan expires? Thank you!

How to avoid locked items being duplicated?

Hello, Is there any possible way to don’t allow objects being copied/duplicated? I thought that by locking them, that wouldn’t be possible, such as on Miro. I created a canvas/framework, where I’m adding post-it’s on top of it. Commonly when I click on a post-it, holding option to duplicate it, I end up duplicating the actual canvas (WHICH IS ALREADY LOCKED???). Many thanks,
