Hi everyone! I have a two-part question: Is it possible (or practical) to use a stylus with Figma on a MacBook for sketching wireframes? I find it more intuitive to sketch by hand rather than use a mouse, especially for early-stage, low-fidelity designs. The Pencil tool feels a bit restrictive with a mouse — has anyone found a good workflow using a stylus for this? I’m aiming to keep a hand-drawn, rough wireframe look but still want a touch of polish — something that looks sketchy but intentional. Any tips, plugins, or tools that help achieve that balance? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey everyone, I’m tearing my hair out trying to get a simple boolean property to appear under the Appearance section of my test component. I’ve seen other components (like the built-in showCaption) display the boolean property toggles just fine, but no matter what I do, my new prop won’t show up—and there’s no obvious “Add property” button to click. I’m hoping someone can point out the glaring thing I’ve overlooked! 

Right now I am using this workflow:Create a grey rectangle Press copy on a image SHIFT+COMMAND+V on the rectangle to fit the image on the rectangle.Problem is I keep getting the error “image was too large for the clipboard”. So i am looking for a way to just quickly fit the original image inside the rectangle but without copying it as PNG first. Is that possible?

Hello.Is this a bug?I have a set of variables to control layout in Desktop, Tablet and Mobile breakpoints.If I apply a variable width to a frame and switch it back to Fill container, it reverts back to the variable width when I switch to the other breakpoints. I’m constant re-applying Fill container.Does Figma somehow remember the previous setting and revert back to it? Infuriating.Or is it me?Thanks,Will

Hello.Is there a way to stop Position > ignore auto-layout from removing the frame/object from the flow of the document/parent? All I want to do is z-position a frame -20px above the object above it.Easy to do in HTML and CSS. Absolute pain in the dick in Figma.What do people do to maintain a proper auto-layout?Thanks,Will

Since a week I am having trouble with exporting PDF’s in Figma. The export works fine until I want to import this PDF into Adobe Indesign or an online print tool. Both apps failed to load the Figma PDF. I have send the files directly and the service replied they are having issues opening my file. The strange thing is, I can open the PDF in Mac preview, in an internet browser and I can import it in the Gimp image editor. So sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t. I am using the latest Figma 116.16.13 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.0.

Currently components are published as is on the website, which causes issues as not all transformations can translate into css/html. If those components could be set to export as a flat image all those issues would be solved. Any way to do this currently or is it planned for future release?

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.  

Hi, I am trying to complete Stripe onboarding to sell community resources on Figma but it keeps giving me this error (attached)Im guessing it’s because of the post code I’ve entered. I’m based in the United Arab Emirates and the country and cities here don’t have post codes. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

What is the alternative way to connect a marketplace payment system on Figma?

I can’t seem to share Figma sites on the community. Any idea when this feature will be back?

New to auto-layout and some things just won’t happen for me :DLooking to create a paragraph text that is aligned to the left within a frame (div) that will always remain centered. therefore the paragraph will be positioned responsive in the middle but align to the left.  See picture example in the comments:

There is a bug — I can't select some of the elements within frames, whether I'm clicking and dragging (rectangle select), or doing the same but with cmd key pressed (on mac). If you move the frame randomly on the page some elements may become selectable again. This occurred in a pretty big project of mine (a lot of frames and pictures on the page). I cannot work further with it. How to solve it?https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbThhZmo0bW5ocGYxY210bWhhYjdrbm1oNDV5aGR5bDU0MThkdDZheiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/utSX7fFaEyTVzcTI9o/giphy.gif This one shows that it’s inside the frame and it’s not locked:

Hi,I transferred a project from my personal Figma account to my school account, expecting to access the Education Plan features. However, the project is now behaving no differently than a personal project, and I’m trying to move it back to my personal account. Unfortunately, I keep encountering the error message shown above.To clarify: The top account is my personal account — it appears to still own the team and can edit the project. The bottom account is my school account — listed as the project owner, but it can't transfer or manage the project. The project doesn’t even appear on the school account's home screen. It seems I'm stuck in a loop where neither account has full control, and I urgently need to resolve this be

Hello! I need help verifying my student account. I sent a request using the form on the official website, but there was no response. Thank you in advance!

Please, I’m currently experiencing an issue with my Figma file. I was working on my design when, unexpectedly, everything I had worked on since I started UI/UX disappeared. I’m not sure what I pressed, and even after refreshing the file, the issue remains the same.

Hi, Suppose I use UI Kit 1.0 and then the designer released v 2.0 with design updates and few stuff my instances used in my design file should what be linked to the new components manually ? or how thes can be done ?Kind Regards

Hi, has anyone used FigProxy before? When I use it to send characters from my Arduino to Figma, it says on the FigProxy app that it’s sending the character. However, the corresponding interaction doesn’t happen on Figma. I used the exact code and setup as the basic arduino test that’s provided here: https://github.com/ideo/Figproxy/tree/main/Arduino%20Examples/FigproxyArduinoBasicTest. Any tips for troubleshooting? 

When in normal mode, if you press your left mouse button and then you drag you will draw a blue rectangle that is used to select elements. Problem is, when I am using outline mode, I can’t do this because the moment I press the left mouse button, the background frame gets selected and then when I drag the mouse I move the frame around instead of drawing a blue rectangle to select other elements.And now that we are at it, how can I select component instances without using the layers panel? I noticed you can select rectangles and frames if you click on their border when in outline mode, but you apparently you can’t select component instances this way. Why? Should report this as a bug?

Hi all! I’m relatively new with Figma, though I’ve worked with many other website builders – and Figma Sites seems to be a pretty simple tool to build a website. I’ve tried to do some simple tests with Figma Sites, but one thing I cannot get to work is to sites to play embedded videos on preview mode or in live website.  By embedded video I mean building a frame and inserting a video from computer’s library to it – not a linked video from Youtube or other websites.  Whenever I try to do this, it seems that the video stays frozen. I would like videos to autoplay as soon as view lands on in. Since I’m coming up with a client project where we need to embed multiple videos as well as some background videos to frames, I’m wondering is this on me, a general issue or a bug?  If anyone knows about this, I would appreciate a response.
