I can't find the AI option in the tools bar

Hello I’m using a professional plan on Figma I’ve enabled the AI feature in the settings, but it doesn’t show up in the toolbar. Could this be a bug, or is there a way to make it appear?

How can I simplify custom bezier curve management?

Hi everyone, I’ve been using Figma’s custom bezier curves for a while now, and while they work great, I find myself frequently copy-pasting the same easing values across multiple components. This gets tedious, especially when I want to experiment with different easings for different elements. I’m curious if anyone has come up with a way to streamline this process or create more flexible solutions, like using variables for bezier curves, or any creative approaches that make managing multiple easing curves across components easier. Here are a few bezier curve names I’ve been working with: glide (0.5, 0, 0.5, 1) quick-snap (0.25, 1, 0.5, 1) Ideally, I want something like this in Figma where I would create Number variables and String variables and just plug them in and when I want to experiment I would just change the variables so I wouldn’t have to go through all my components to experiment with the easing: I’d love to hear any alternatives or tips you have for managing bezier curves a

Find ghost variable that is not assigned to elements

As seen in the picture Figma variables userd as 3 collections by the name tokens, alias then semantic. Semantic variables have been assigned to element in design. With the time being, and while using many designers, there are unused variables in each collection. Is there a way to check them out, so we can safely remove from the collection/s.

How to retain original transform of the node while using appendChild

"I want the selected shape node to become a child of a specific frame while keeping its position and rotation unchanged. When I manually drag and drop the shape into the frame using the Figma Layers panel, this works perfectly (left frame in the image). However, when I try to do the same using the Figma Plugin API, the shape’s position and rotation are altered (right frame in the image). Any way to achieve the same programmatically?

Variable Import Not Working for 3 Days!

How is this even possible, and why is it happening? I have about 5 files, and 2 of them serve as the main sources for components and variables. For the past 3 days, Figma has been randomly deciding which variables to export to other files and which ones not to. As a result: From one file, I can only see 2 out of 40 necessary variables. From another file, no variables are being exported at all. This morning, I created 4 new test variables, and guess what? They immediately appeared in all the other files. But the critical variables I actually need are still not updating! Where is support? Why hasn’t this issue been resolved after several days? This is paralyzing the entire team’s workflow!

What is the keyboard shortcut to access tools in the design panel?

There is a blue box that sometimes appears around some of the tools on the design panel. For example, the box that I’ve drawn in the screenshot below. And upon clicking enter, it changes the toggle. I wonder if anyone knows how to trigger this as a keyboard shortcut? I stumble on this a few times but do not know how to recreate it. I figure it’ll save me a lot of time instead of having to access the design panel via my cursor. Thanks!

Auto layout x Smart Animate

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with compatibility between Auto Layout and Smart Animate. I have two components, accordion lists, with several variants that collapse and expand through Smart Animate. Whenever I apply Auto Layout to the frame with the components, they lose the Smart Animate effect, the page twitches and then the accordion list expands with Instant effect. This is a video of the issue: 13.04.2022_09.55.55_REC.mp4 - Google Drive Thanks in advance!

My Files Are Missing

I’m on the Starter plan and I usually just browse through all my files that are not under any team under Recent. Now, they’re all gone. All I did was just delete a team, and then, they’re all gone. Has this happened to anyone of you? What do I do?

Boolean property "not used within component"

Hello, I cannot play with boolean properties anymore. Maybe something has recently been updated and I’m not familiar with the new UI or maybe something is buggy on my end, whichever way, could you please have a look at the attached test file and help me figure out what is happening ? Upon creating a component with two variants, I add a boolean property, which immediately indicates on the component property panel that it is “not used within component”. I then head to each variant, one after another, in an attempt to specify whether the new property should be True or False, however it does not appear in their property panel. Alternatively, I have looked for the “Apply variable” button in the variants Appearance panel, but the button doesn’t show. This is creating major delays in a prototype I am preparing for a client, so any help will be appreciated. Bets regards, Baptiste

FigJam: Cancel Your Subscription? Not Without a degree in frustration management!

I’ve been a loyal user of Figma for quite some time now, and while I love the platform, I find myself increasingly frustrated with its billing practices—particularly when it comes to FigJam. Cancelling FigJam should be straightforward, yet it feels unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming. For a multi-million company like Figma, this lack of transparency and ease is disappointing, if not entirely dishonest. Why should users have to jump through hoops to cancel a subscription they no longer need? It feels like an intentional attempt to retain revenue by making the process frustrating enough for users to give up. Figma has built its reputation on user experience and innovation, but practices like this undermine that trust. Surely, a company of this calibre can do better—providing an honest, user-friendly way for people to manage their subscriptions. If anyone else has faced this issue, how did you handle it? And Figma, if you’re listening, it’s time to fix this. Users deserve better.

"Imported Components" using a lot of memory, but no external libraries are used

We have two main libraries, a “Component” library and a “Data” library made up of text variables that we reference in the Component library. The Component library is constantly running out of memory and says that Imported Components are using 30% or memory. I checked through the whole file and not a single external component is being used. Do internal instances of local components count as “Imported Components”? If not, how could a few text variables use that much memory?

Variables for text styles make the file really slow

I have a big file (130K layers) and recently I add the new variables for text styles and boy the file running very slow, I can’t edit nothing, not mentioning play with the prototype. It has nothing to do with my PC or memory usage (14%). I had to remove the variables for text styles to make the file run faster and it works. This new feature is great but until this performance issue will not be resolved I will not add variables for text styles to my projects.

Figma Slides - Slide dimensions wrong when presenting

Hi! I’m experiencing an issue where the slides won’t display at the full 1920 x 1080 dimension when in present mode (both when presenting just the slides and in audience/notes mode). We also can’t change the dimensions of the slide itself, so not sure why it’s presenting at a size that don’t fit the default dimensions? The biggest option seems to be the “Macbook Pro 16” at 1728 x 1117px which cuts off a lot of the slide. I’ve already tried troubleshooting (closing tabs, quitting and restarting Figma, and restarting my laptop) and still can’t present at the full dimensions. Included a screenshot and video - would greatly appreciate any help/insight! Thank you!!
