Feature Request: Duplicate documents?

Hey there, are there any plans to add the ability to duplicate / create Figma documents onto the REST API roadmap? I don’t believe it’s possible currently (read only) but could open up some interesting opportunities. Thanks.

Figma Desktop app - Disabled Keys issue (windows 11)

I never came across this issue on OSX its only since I’ve been using Windows 11 fulltime. Basically when using the app I sometimes hit the Windows key between CTRL and ALT and the start menu pop-ups sometimes (thats fine), but then once back focused on the Figma desktop app, many keys stop working e.g. “X” “C” “V” “CTRL” “H” … just a bunch of random keys won’t respond. At first I thought it was something to do with a conflicting app I had installed, but it seems quite odd as I have a pretty clean/fresh build of Win11 with not many apps installed. Figma version: 124.2.9

Huge bug regarding Auto-layout?

For days now, every time I try to copy/clone an element from an auto-layout and paste or move it outside of this auto-layout, in many cases the element starts to “glitch” and it becomes impossible to drag it across the canvas correctly. Its origin point seems to have shifted, and when I try to move it, the center of movement is not associated with the pointer, but with a position 10-20-30px further away both vertically and horizontally. Moreover, any keystroke (right, left, up, down… any!) to move the element any number of pixels (it could be 1px, 8px, 10px…) causes the element to shift a fixed number of pixels (even in decimals) that has nothing to do with the input given. This is becoming exasperating and forces me to copy, paste, delete, and re-paste each element every time I do this. It’s a disaster… Is anyone else experiencing this? I can’t believe no one else is going through the same problem.

Do I really have to pay for one month of an organization account in order to move a project?

It looks like the only way I can move a project from my person email account to my work email account is by paying for one month of an organization account. Is this really the case?

The video is here Reddit - Dive into anything Hello, I wanted to know how to do in Figma the same thing as in example 1, in which when it becomes small it keeps 1 in the middle and on each side the border of 2 others, how do I make it become bigger or smaller and always be centered? I have been trying for several days and I have not found any video that explains this after more than 20 videos, please help, thank you.

Can I share file without giving read-only access to entire component library?

Hey ! I want to allow a customer to view and change text in a file. The file uses components from an internal component library (design system), and even with view only access and with the Advanced Viewers can copy, share and export option turned off, the ‘customer’ can duplicate the entire component library to his drafts. Seems like a IP hole to me. I can just share prototype links, but then customer will have to screenshots. Suggestions welcome 🙂

Can't change text style to another one from library

For whatever reason, I have a client where one of the designs on the team is unable to use the text styles in the design system I’ve created. When they choose a style to apply, it just does nothing. If there was a style applied already by another designer, it just remains at that one. If there was no style to begin with, it just doesn’t get applied. Typography variables for font family and weight also appear crossed out (see attached). One other team member had this issue, and it was because they didn’t have the font installed, that was fixed by installing it. But this member does have the font installed, and yet they are still having issues. Any ideas?

为什么不能把原型里的连线状态分享给别人

我想把做好的原型效果图分享给开发者，我不想给他编辑权限，只允许他浏览，并且希望开发者能看到不同版块之间的连线状态，而现实是，分享给开发者的原型，是一个预览状态，看不见连线结构，只能通过点击去跳转，对于全局的结构展示很不直观， I want to share the finished prototype renderings with developers. I don’t want to give them editing permissions, but only allow them to browse. I also want them to be able to see the connection status between different sections. However, the reality is that the prototype shared with developers is a preview state, and the connection structure cannot be seen. You can only jump by clicking, which is not intuitive for the global structure display.

Figma protoptye embed not working on mobile

I’ve embedded my Figma prototype in Framer, which is working fine for all viewports in Framer before deployment and in Chrome inspect after deployment in my Chrome (for all viewports) but as I open my site on my mobile the prototype is not scaling properly. here’s my embed code - “style=“border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);” width=“100%” height=“100%” src=“https://www.figma.com/embed?embed_host=share&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.figma.com%2Fproto%2Flj0zhz4tMlHcTV3aipmuMC%2FGreenThumb%3Fpage-id%3D1%253A6%26node-id%3D76616-1601%26starting-point-node-id%3D76579%253A4686%26content-scaling%3Dresponsive%26scaling%3Dscale-down%26t%3DHqkiFYSugJZQ3f16-1&hide-ui=1” allowfullscreen>”

Side panels - various positions

I usually have layers/assets panel on the left and design/prototype panel on the right. But I’m currently doing something that would be easier if they were next to each other. Going through layers and swapping the Auto-layout orientations, alignments, horizontal and vertical resizing selections. Do these capabilities already exist?

Global font styles have updated themselves and conflict to what's displayed in the UI

I opened my style guide file today and noticed that any of my fonts using the ‘Portrait text’ family have been updated to ‘Porter Sans Block’. I didn’t make this change and have looked through the version history which shows no sign of edits from other team members or myself, it seems as though this might be a bug? When I look at the style being applied to elements within the UI, the font is still correctly displaying as ‘Portrait text’ on the canvas but showing as ‘Porter Sans’ in the styles panel. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Acrobat keeps telling me that PDFs exported from Figma are damaged

Hi, I tried searching for this but couldnt find a answer. My appologies if I missed a thread where this was already discussed. I’m having issues using the “Export Frames to PDF” function that is built into Figma. When I try to open the PDF in Acrobat, I get a little error pop up that says that “The File is Damaged but it is being rebuilt.” I let Acrobat do it’s thing, but then when I go to the Advanced Optimization setting to compress the file (I’d rather do it this way than use a plugin), It says I need to save the file, but then I cant, because it says that the file is “read only” even though no other instances of the PDF are open. It’s not a huge deal, and I have found a work around. ( just close the Figma and the PDF and then repoen the PDF and for some reason, I am then able to save the PDF and then use the optimization settings to compress the file). But it seems a little buggy. Any ideas why this might be happening? Like I said, not a huge deal, just a little annoying, especiall

Text property gets reset when variant is set by a variable

I’m working on creating a reusable radio component for my team, and I’m now seeing this weird interaction. I have the variant for each radio bound to a local variable, and I set the Not Selected variant for the other radios when one is selected. The issue I’m seeing is that when the other radios are set to the “Not Selected” variant via this bound local variable, the Text property for the label is reset to the value set in the main component. The expected text returns when I hover over the button to trigger the “Change” to the Hover variant. Is this a bug, or am I just going about this all wrong…?

Why does holding cmd to crop an image now crop it symmetrically from the centre?

Maybe this makes sense for certain photos, but if you care about what parts of an image are included in the crop, it makes no sense to crop from the centre. I’m sure holding command and scaling an image used to just crop the side of the image you were scaling from. Now it scales / crops from the centre, like you might expect it to if you were holding cmd + option + scaling. This is one of a few issues with scaling / holding cmd that I’m having recently, I’ve also found that holding cmd+ scaling a frame is inconsistent in whether or not it ignore constraints

Text in button changes to components default when using variables to change pages

So I’m thing out variables and tried using a String variable to change pages. When I change the value manually everything happens as it’s supposed to, but when I actually press the button it changes the text inside of the button to the default text from the button’s component. I don’t understand if this is my fault or not since this has never happened when using the older methods, either making a frame for each page or using interactive components. I can’t upload the video here yet although my account is not new, but here’s a video showing the interactions and component: https://streamable.com/tayfav

Triggering smart animate variables at the same time (or smart animate for 'set variable mode')

Tried a bunch of options but couldn’t make it work. I need to change states for 4 components. If I use ‘set variable’ and animate it, the transitions happen of after the other which doesn’t work for me. Is there any way to make they trigger at the same time? Another option would be using ‘set variable mode’ which I would actually prefer, but then in that case I can’t make smart animate work at all. Anyway, would love any ideas on how to make this work 🙂

Windows11 fonts problem

Figma does not sync Windows 11 installed fonts Ask the community Can someone help me? Everytime I close a browser tab, all my newly installed fonts are gone. It’s the same when open in app. i have the exact same problem: with win11 the fonts are not syncing with Figma. after every reboot of the pc i have to reinstall all my fonts i’m using in Figma. then they are recognized again. this happens in the browser AND on the app. i tried to delete all of the fonts, reinstalling the Figma font service, trying without the font service just in the app… the problem persists. the font itself is not the problem because on windows10 and on mac i can use it without a problem.

Team Plan Changed to Education Plan Without Any Action from Us

Hi Figma Team, Hope you’re doing well. Our team has run into a bit of an issue, and we’re hoping you can help us out. It looks like our team plan somehow switched from the Free plan to the Education plan. We’re seeing messages like “Your Education plan has expired” and “This team is for Education users only. New users will be required to verify their Education status.” However, we never opted for the Education plan. The Free plan works perfectly for us, and all our accounts are just regular accounts with no ties to any education setup. Here are our main questions: How did this change happen? How can we switch our team back to the Free plan? What can we do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks a lot for your help!
