tab “Resizing”Hi everyone, I need help finding the “Resizing” tab in Figma. I’m attaching a screenshot from a 2022 video where this tab was present in the interface, and my current interface where it’s missing.Thanks for your reply if you’ve written one! :) 

SituationI’m using a component with 3 variants (default, hover, filled) as an interactive checkbox, designed in a design system file. There are no interactions in the MPC component in the design system file, only in the prototype file. This component is used on multiple screens in a prototype (a question flow with selectable answers). ProblemWhen I click an answer (switching the component to the “filled” variant), that state carries over to the same component instance on the next screen — even though I haven’t interacted with it there. So it should be in default state. Figma appears to remember the variant state globally, not per screen, which breaks the logic of my prototype. This becomes a serious problem when only one answer should be selected: if all options appear as “selected” due to previous interactions, the user can’t proceed in the flow anymore. This prototype is being tested

With the recent Figma config and features it introduced, I feel figma isnt really interested in introducing newer features for UX Designers. I have this opinion based on Figma introduced Figma Make, where it can build and iterate websites based on a prompt (Feature targeted towards a general public rather than a UX Designer) Breakpoints in Figma Sites and not in Figma File (Figma introduced breakpoints for Figma Sites where we can design and publish in actual websites) but did not introduce the feature in actual Figma files which many have asked for. (As if Figma is trying to tease, we can do it, but we won't as we don't think UI design is persist for long) First Draft (First draft is where it would have been helpful if instead of a default library, they could have added a feature where we could add our own library) Again here they did not improve upon it, rather made huge advancements in Figma Make, which is targeted toward a gener

Hi figpals,I'm creating an icon, and this issue has been bothering me lately. Right now, the only way to solve it is with a hack. I know there are ways to fix it, but I really need to avoid repeating this workaround in a loop. If there's a way to prevent me from having to do this hack over and over again, it would be a huge help.So here's the case:First, i create an icon (absolutely) like below:What I want to ask is about focusing on a selected object. I’m using an inside stroke for icon weight, which makes it easier to control the size measurements and set the radius for each corner.Then, to finalize, I need to vectorize the stroke using the “Outline Stroke” feature. And here’s what happens:

This is super scummy. Does anybody know where we can complain in the Eu about it? Maybe people would like to jump on a groups case against Figma. This is so low. I’ve been buying my motnhly single user subscription (18e), this month they charged me for 8 people + 5 FigJam seats. Lol, nobody asked for this, they did this on their own. This is mega unprofessional and scammy.

Hello Figma Community, I was really happy to learn that figma enables with the new update to write on a vector path.However, it is quite annoying, that it is not easily possible to edit the path after I put the text on it. If I double click, I just can edit the text. Sometimes I manage to edit the path, but I don’t know how to get there. I am thankful for your help.

Hi! Industrial Designer turned UX Designer now.Is there a way to make a circular/ring slider in Figma? I see many tutorials for automatic/animated progress rings but I can’t seem to find how to make an actual user-controlled ring slider. I am also not referring to a linear/bar slider - however, this circle slider would interact just like a bar slider but move in a circle.Attached here, you’ll see what I’m referring to. For instance, you see these slider rings in various apps where you can set the time, temperature or some other kind of parameter with your finger by dragging the length of the highlighted circle/ring. Any help or direction to a tutorial showing this is much appreciated!!

There have been many times when I hide an icon from the right or left of a button, it has a purple box around it. Please check this.

Hi, I can’t remove the template from the list in the Template and tools. It also appears in the dialogue window when creating new figma slides presentation. The template was unpublished by droping to the drafts folder *unpublish confirmed”. Any ideas how to make the template disappear from the lists?

I am not able to open a few of my Figma files. The files are around 8-10 mb. IT just keep trying to import but never loads. Is there any alternate way to open/import my fig files? This is a blocker. I need to think twice now before using Figma in future.Any help will be greatly appreciated. ThanksKed

I have created a design system for a mobile app in a Figma file (lets call it A). Also, my project files are also in the same Figma files but in different pages.. Now the problem is, my Figma file is getting heavier and sometimes, it takes too much time to load. I tried publishing the design system (lets call it B), but every time I call a component, it directs me to the main components in the design system  A. Where am I doing wrong? and what is the solution to publish the design system so that my current components sync with it (B), and not with the A.

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my variable list, particularly as it pertains to a drop-down menu I want to create. Below you can see the screenshot of the list (with the placeholder text “Button”). I’m trying to replace the placeholder text with the String variable I created “Grocery”. I want to replace all the placeholder text as well.Figma isn’t letting me replace the placeholder text with my desired variable. I’m not sure how else I can replace the text because there’s no option to do so manually. Hoping someone can help with regards to this. 

Does Figma Make support the learning of design systems or the implementation of predefined design standards?

I want to create auto layout for multiple selected layers. When I select multiple layers and press Shift + A, it wraps the layers in another frame with auto layout enabled. However, my intention was to apply auto layout for each layer. Is it possible to achieve this? Because I don’t want to click on each layer and press Shift + A. Thanks!

Updated: I saw someone visited my file and it was fixed. Many thanks 😊Hi guys, I have created this conditional prototype for the phone country code. The default country code is Germany. When I click in India the conditional prototype works but when I click back to Germany, it doesn’t change Germany to active. I tried to do other way, set India as a default instead, it works when I click on Germany (change their statue to inactive) but when I click back on India, nothing happens. Please someone help me with this. Thank you 🙏Figma link:  default

Hi, I want a button to turn into a selected state first, then only it navigates to new page / open a new overlay. The only thing I got when I put these two interactions is they showing one. How to make this possible?

I have a component called “Dropdown base” and it has a couple of variants.For some reason I cannot insert a Button component I also have in my design system inside any of the variants.All the other components can be inserted fine: search bar, icons, chips, tags, anythingOnly with the Button component I get the error saying “Components cant contain instances of themselves”Which I dont understand because the Button is not an instance of the Dropdown base…is this a bug?thanks! 

Hi all. I exported a frame (1920x720) and it outputs a 1928x720 PNG file. Is it possible to export an image the same size as the frame? Do you know why you can't export an image the same size as the frame? 

I can't seem to find the API docs for AutoLayout Grid recently.A few days ago, I could still access properties like:gridChildHorizontalAligngridChildVerticalAligngridColumnCountgridColumnGap...But now, I can't retrieve these properties anymore. Were they removed? Or were they moved to a different interface?

Was the sort feature removed from the Community tab? I can’t seem to find any way to sort the results by latest/trending/etc. Is this a bug?   

Amé la nueva funcionalidad, y para comunicar datos como interacciones o contenido. Pero no pueden visualizarlos quienes no sean parte del equipo. Es muy triste! Hay forma de configurar que un visitante no perteneciente al Team vea esas anotaciones?

When I click on an object and then press the Z key, I should be able to select a box to zoom in on the view. However, now I find that the mouse displays a magnifying glass, but the mouse can still move the object.

Dear Figma Team,Once I have imported a component into the figma site if any changes made back to the component it is not getting applied to the figma sites please resolve this issue.Thank you.

Usually, I design in low-fidelity, then move to mid-fidelity, and finally to high-fidelity with functional prototypes. During this process, I also create the design system (when it’s a new project).Now that I’m including variables, I’m running into a problem: variables aren’t exported unless I use a plugin, and even then, the process feels very slow. Updating every variable in the design system (whether with plugins or not) makes designing much less efficient.Here’s a real case: In my design system, I define styles for typography and sizes. For sizes, I set up variables for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. Later, while working on my mid-fidelity wireframe, I realize my sizes aren’t quite right. In this wireframe, I also have variables for breakpoints. Now, I’m not sure if I should:Modify the typography sizes in the design system (as styles and variables), orChange the variables in the mid-fidelity wireframe where I’m working with breakpoints.So, how do
