I want to prototype the generation of text that animates after submitting an AI prompt. In other words– when you type a prompt into Chat GPT and hit submit, the words begin to appear one after another as the response is created. I would like to understand an easy way to to this.

Hi Figma Community! Basically, I have a bunch of one size icons as variants in a component - they all have an auto layout frame applied to them. I want to use the icons throughout my design, but in different sizes. However, I don’t want to create varying sizes within the main component, as there would be too many icons and it would look messy. So what I normally do is: Create another test component using the icon with another element (for example, with a CTA here) Scale the icon using the scale tool (larger as an example here) Then instance swap it and it usually adheres to the new scaled size that I give it. However, recently, this method hasn’t been working and the instance just retains the same size as its original parent varient. *As a note, the icon starts scaling properly if I detatch the instance. Which ideally I don’t want to be doing, as I may have changes to the test component that I need reflected throughout the file. Can anyone assist in finding why this is, that would be

Hello,I just want to ask about the steps to sell on Figma community, when I start publishing the checkbox “sell this resource on community” is disabled, any ideas?

The svg_include_node_id property doesn't exist in the Pulgin API's ExportAsync method when exporting to SVG, but it is present in the REST API's GET image endpoint. Can we please have the property in the Plugin API as well? The svg_include_id property isn't enough to map figma nodes to SVG elements. It will be very helpful if the property can be added to the Plugin API.Plugin API SVG Export SettingsREST API GET Image SVG Settings 

Hi, Why can we not use naming that matches JSON when creating tokens? My developers cannot just copy paste the tokens since the naming is different.  

Hey Guys,I am not being able to use Brandfetch plugin. Is something wrong with this plugin? I searched online and it has not been closed too. Can somebody help me out in this? It shows something like this in all of the similar kind of plugins 

I’ve got variable strings where I need to display a portion of the string as a link, or bold. Normally I would just be able to select the text and style accordingly, but doing so with a variable string breaks the link to the variable. I could break the string up into various parts, stylizing the individual parts as needed, but when you are dealing with a paragraph of text it would be impossible to keep the various parts reading like a paragraph (unbroken) as string lengths change, and then I am also dealing with translations/localization which moves parts around.

When i updated new figma version, i can not find variables tab anymore, or missed any step to find it?  

 When you open a file in Figma Desktop for Windows, the app always uses your system’s current date and time—even if it’s earlier than the file’s real last-edit timestamp—and records that as the file’s “Last edited date” without any validation. As a result, if your computer clock is set behind the actual time (for example, due to sync issues), Figma will overwrite the true last-modification date with a past date, effectively making it look as though you haven’t opened the file in months or even years.In the image, i’m open the last file.Time and Date now. 

A GIF is worth 1000 words, so please see below.A number of elipses (plot points) are within a frame (or group). When the container resizes the elipses should:retain their relative position (the way they do within a group) retain their absolute sizing (the way they do within a frame)How do you get both, as in this example of a plot, where the red dots should retain their size but still sit on the right point of the graph when the graph resizes? I had hoped that setting each ellipse to “proportional” and then “top+bottom/left+right” within a frame would do the trick, but no.And using a group, well their size gets wacky - they either distort into ovals, or, with proportional turned on, they get huge/tiny when adjusting the graph along one of the axes, none of which is desirable.

Seems like every feature/product they are releasing now is about expanding platform reach and pumping up IPO, not about refining and improving their existing products.When you look at the bugs, feature requests and other needs that long time users have been waiting months and even years for, it gets really frustrating as an embedded Figma user to see them not fix and enhance the basic parts of the software that we so desperately need.Am I alone here? Maybe I’m just letting it get to my head, but so many basic things are not being taken care of. Just gets frustrating.

Just before installing this update everything was running smoothly. Right after a lot of layers display shadows that are not reflected in the Effects panel which shows nothing is applied. I tried adding and removing still shows the added shadow :(

Hi, The latest build of the Figma (124.7.4) was updated in my system last week and since after that, the app has started behaving too slowly as if a lot of load is on my system which somehow felt like it would crash in some time. I thought, this might be my computer so I kept checking on my Activity Monitor to see if something was going on in the background but there was nothing. Even though I tried it as the only app running and nothing was running in the background, the behaviour remained consistent. I realised this when I switched to the web version of Figma, and things got quite smooth compared to the app’s laggy behavior. The system that I am using is a 2019 Intel i9 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, and this should not cause any problems. I am sure this is something with the most recent build. I hope I am not the only person experiencing this problem.

I was importing an SVG generated from Illustrator. The text looked off (too long). Then I inspected the SVG and the imported settings. I noticed that the “letter-spacing” attribute of <tspan> was ignored during the import. This breaks SVG specs.

Hello. Since last year, the AI ​​feature has not been activated for my account. I need it like many of my colleagues.😓Can you tell me how to activate it? Or how to get on the list?

Hey everyone I just signed up for the pro plan but for some reason, I can’t find the AI tool in the menu at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestion?

Is it possible to create a component in Figma that triggers a modal, and have that modal be the same and shared across multiple files?

I’m wondering if this is a bug. Sharing a ‘Presentation link’ gives the recipient a view-only view of the working Figma file along with notes. Makes sense if there are other presenters and they need to see the notes too. Sharing an ‘Audience link’ gives the recipient a view-only view of the slides. However, it also allows them – who will very often be a client – to click a button at the top to open a view-only version of the Figma file along with all of the presentation notes. Unfortunately, it’s currently not fit for purpose to share a link with clients, as there’s no way to send it purely for viewing without all the additional UI options to open in Figma and view notes etc.} Ideally, there needs to be a sharable ‘Audience’ view of the slides where all that can be seen is the slides – no extras, no ‘sign in’, no ‘add comments’ (ideally this can be switched on OR off), and definitely no ‘open in Figma Slides’. Just a view of the slides, and that’s it.

how do i get the plugin

I have used variables extensively to create a prototype which is greatBut now I want to create some documentation showing various states of a page.Problem is that I want the visuals in the documentation to stay fixed, but they update every time I toggle a variable valueIt seems there is no way to tell a frame to ‘ignore’ all the variable bindings it has within it… any ideas how I can solve this problem?

I received an email that says I have two weeks left on the education plan. It briefly states what will happen and what you can do about it. However, I'm still confused. I’m not sure how it'll affect my account and what I can or can't do with my files. I would love more clarity. Right now, I have two teams and have drafts and projects in both. One is a free team and the other is and education team. I have the most drafts in my education team as it’s the one I have been using the most. The main question I have is:Does this mean I won't be able to edit any files in my drafts under my education team? Will I only have access to the "free" team and need to move my drafts from the education team to my free team? Or can I still edit in the other team because the filed are in the drafts?Thank you in advance to anyone who can help answer my questions! 

The checked state of my checkbox is only visible while hovering, and disappears when the hover state ends. I’m using a hover interaction in a menu prototype with checkboxes. When I select a checkmark, it gets selected, but when my cursor leaves whatever item I selected and I go to the next item the checkbox disappears. It seems like the selected checkmark is not persisting and only being applied to the hover state. Additionally, it seems when I hover on the item again, the check mark shows as selected, but only during its hover state.  What’s also odd, however, is that when my cursor leaves the menu and goes outside of the frame the checkbox will still be selected. Any solutions to this problem?  Checkmark selectedCheckmark gets unselected when I go to the next item.  

Hey, I did POC with Code Connect and found that the code will work only with Figma component. For example, we have BottomSheet in our design system file but Product team need to detach it so they can custom content inside. The detached BottomSheet won’t have code connect feature unless Product team make the component and write the code from their side. Any suggestion to control this from design system team?
