Figma AI plugins

Hey everyone! 🌟 I’m diving into enhancing my design workflow with some AI magic and was wondering if you all could share your favorite AI plugins for Figma. What are the go-to tools that you absolutely can’t live without?

Share some but not all flows

Hi all, Does anyboby know if there is a way to lock off flows when sharing? I have a large project on the go and would like to only share sections of the prototype at a time as it would only be areas relevant to a particular team in my company. This would then mean I wouldn’t get quized on areas that are not finished or part of a different teams jurisdiction. Currently a flow will then just link up to any part of the prototype thats connected. Hope that makes sense? Thanks Simon

What plan do we need and what are the exact possibilities?

Hi, I am working at a company that has 3 webdesigners and we all want to switch to Figma. We also have some external parties we work with for the development so we need Dev mode as well. We tried figuring out how the plans work, but are left with some questions. Do we need the professional plan or organization plan? Does paying for a plan for ONE account make it possible for multiple users with different logins to be created without having to pay for each and every account? Or do we need a paid account for EVERY person involved?

New Figma version and nested component issue

Hello, I am encountering a difficulty that I had never encountered before the new version of Figma: I have a component (an image), which has 2 variants. It is integrated into another component which also has 2 variants (a default, and a rollhover). When I change my image (the variant), it cannot “keep the good variant” on the hover. I’ve never had this problem before. In image to explain better, sorry for my english 🙂 Here is my first component, a coin image, with 2 variant of it, one silver and one gold. Here is my second component, with my coin nested, it had also a variant, where i just move the coin position, and the relation between my two variant is just a simple hovering effect. If I try this, it works perfectly. But now if i change the nested component “coin” from silver to gold : it doesnt work anymore, because the over effect “load” my silver coin instead of the gold. I have never had this “bug” before. Any idea why the hover version doesn’t keep the gold coin

Figma Menu Loading Indefinitely on Instance Swap or Component Insertion

Over the past three days, attempting to swap an instance or insert the component has resulted in the menu for each of these actions loading indefinitely, regardless of whether I’m using the Figma app or the browser. I have not found a solution to this issue, and it is now impossible to swap an instance within a component. I am unsure why this is occurring, as the same file was functioning properly four days ago, but suddenly none of my assets will load anywhere.

Subject: Enhancing Auto Layout with Display Properties and Media Queries

Hi Figma Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to suggest a couple of features that could significantly enhance the functionality of Auto Layout and the overall design and development experience in Figma. Display Block and Display None for Auto Layout: Introducing the ability to use display: block and display: none within Auto Layout would provide unlimited responsive design capabilities. This feature would allow designers to control the visibility of elements dynamically, making it easier to create more complex and responsive layouts. Media Queries in Prototypes: Adding support for media queries in the prototype screen would be a game-changer. This feature would enable designers to create and test responsive designs directly within Figma, ensuring that our designs look great on all devices and screen sizes. These enhancements would greatly improve the flexibility and power of Figma’s design tools, making it easier for designers to create responsive and adaptive desi

Access/Change "Selection Colors" via Plugin API

Hi community, i have a question regarding “selection colors”. Is it possible to access and change the colors of figma.currentPage.selection[0] in order to change all occasions of “color x” to “color y” with one change? So I don’t need to access every single child element and change its color there. Thanks in advance 🙂

"Select layer" keyboard shortcut (Command + Right-click) stops working when "Right-click and Drag to Pan" is enabled

One of my most used keyboard shortcuts seemed to stopped working: Command + Right-click on an object to quickly select a child layer. After some troubleshooting I realized that this happens when “Right-click and Drag to Pan” setting is enabled. I like both of these features, and they should not be mutually exclusive. Can this be fixed?

Issues with the "Go to Main Component" Button

Hello! First of all, I want to say that I really appreciate the new UI design. It’s visually appealing and well-organized. Many features are now better grouped, making them easier to find. However, I’m encountering significant challenges with the “Go to Main Component” feature. Firstly, I find it difficult to locate this function, and secondly, I struggle to interpret it correctly. Previously, I relied on the appearance of the icon to quickly determine whether a component was local or from an external file. The new arrow icon, however, misleadingly suggests that I am being navigated away, which is not always the case when dealing with local components. This can cause confusion, as the action might simply involve moving within the same file. I would greatly appreciate a clearer distinction between local and non-local components. A more intuitive visual cue would help in quickly understanding the context of the component I’m working with. What does the community think about this? Am I th

Swapping variants between Desktop and Mobile using variables

Hi, I have a component with 2 sizes (variants): Desktop and Mobile. They were built before variables came out so everything within the component is manually done up. Right now non-designer users find it annoying that whenever they drag a instance from the library to their desktop/mobile frame, they have to manually switch the variant between the two sizes. I’ve watched this youtube video that does what I need but it seems weird that the binding of variable is done on an instance and not on the component itself. This makes it useless if the end user has to do all these steps like creating variables, binding the instance, just to swap between sizes automatically. I also do not want to create the components from scratch because we have too many, Is there a way to bind the variant names to the frame names?

Select matching layers/objects is not working?

I have a frame with three identical symbols inside: As far as I can tell, all three layers qualify to be “matching” according to this article. However, when I press either the button at the top, or the shortcut, I get the message below: I pulled out this frame as an example, but I obviously have a larger design I’m working on where I would really benefit from being able to select all matching layers at once. I feel like this used to work but doesn’t anymore. What am I missing? I’m still on the old UI. Can’t really tell when I received the latest update…

Move component from unpublished file to published library

Hola Amigo! I have a Figma working file (File A) and i use local components for the design. I have never published this File A as Library. On the other hand, I have centralized Library that contains all general component. Now I want to use the local components in File A in another project (File B) and still want the components in File A & File B to be linked. Is there anyway to move local components in FIle A to Library, so that i can use it in File B, without breaking the design in File A?

Heavy text containers when exporting to pdf

Hello! I was making a presentation in Figma and was surprised how heavy it was after exporting in PDF. After checking everything and methodically deleting different parts of the content from the slide, I found that the heaviest part was the text! For example, one 1920*1080 slide with several text blocks exports into over 6 Mb PDF. If I copy everything on a different slide, it weights the same. But if I create a new slide and new text blocks and type that text manually all over again - the PDF size drops to about 600 Kb. So the problem is definitely with those text blocks. Any ideas why is this happening and how to fix it? Retiping the whole thing would be a major pain. It is over 200 slides.
