I haven’t been able to get a clear answer on this via the chat, so I am hoping someone here can answer:If I own the updating and maintenance of our organizational design system, I think I will need an organizational account. If our graphic designer and web designer need to access our design system to pull components from it into their designs (but not edit the actual design system itself), do they need an organizational account as well? Does the organizational account just give you the access to own and change the organizational style guide, or do you also need that level to use its components in your design?

Example component - Avatar (part of variant set) Component description field text "Use them in any situation where users might need to quickly identify themselves or other users at a glance Default state for designs should be ‘fallback’ (color+user initials) Avatar color set can be found under color styles" (avatar, profile, user profile) Search terms in bold - avatar (which is also in the name yields results when searched but the others don’t I am trying to replicate this Build it in Figma: Create a Design System V: Documentation

Hi Everyone, 3 years later, is there still no way to copy and paste prototypes to another file?I have way too much in the master file that I still haven’t cleaned up do to an import from Sketch (did not go to well).  I cannot give the team access to it.  When I copy over to another file, all the links/variables/code breaks.  I cannot duplicate the file either as I have to give a new URL and access to everyone every time I change something.This is so annoying and very surprising coming from such a standard product.

Hovers on interactive components are malfunctioning in the prototype and present modes in a few different ways: Rendering text oddly, letters are getting jumbled Filling in areas with color Seemingly disappearing from view Seeing this on 2021-04-07T23:50:00Z

I will do a step by step to recreate the issue.1. create a component with 2 or more variants, In this case I will have a true and false swapping between the two styles. Then nest that component into another component 3, Then create an instance of that component and set the a variable to switch between the two variants we created with the original component. when the variable swaps between the variants it will reset all changes (including text changes) to the default in the original component (first image) Note: this issue does not exist unless a variable is the one to make the change. If i manually do it, or it changes by an interaction it works as intended, its

I paid the annual subscription for my Figma team, it’s been a month since I made the payment and so far everything was going well and recently I got this message “Payment failed Our last attempted charge was unsuccessful. Please update your payment method as soon as possible. File editing will be locked after 3 failed attempts.” and the charge was made to my card.

My Figma isn’t suggesting replacements for misspelled words. It does highlight the spelling errors, but when I Command-click or Control/Option-click, no alternative spellings are offered.I want Figma to flag errors and provide replacement suggestions, as I’ve seen this working for my colleagues.I’ve checked that my language is set to UK English under Figma > Text > Spell Check, restarted Figma, and I’m using the native desktop version on a Mac (not the web app).Any advice on how to fix this? I’m dyslexic and working on shared FigJam boards with my colleagues and not being able to correct my terrible spelling is inhibiting and painful 

When switching variable modes in an overlay the new values do not follow the autolayout rules. I think this is a bug because closing and reopening the model will fix the autolayout issues. To fix this I included a duplicate of the modal and switch between them when changing the variable mode. Let me know if anyone is interested in links or images.

Is it possible to customize figma so that when I click anywhere in the component, I get to the parent layer and get in the right panel all the settings of my component?Since now when I click anywhere in the component its child layer is highlighted.Now for this I had to write a plugin that when I select a child layer redirects me to the parent layer + breaks all the nesting. But the plugin takes up space on the workspace and it is not very convenient to run it all the time. It would be cool to be able to do hockey in the settings.For example, pressing the default Commant + Clik I get to the selected layer, but for example, when pressing Option + Commant + Click that I would get to the parent layer of the component while the component itself remained swallowed upCommand + Click go to selected layer

When exporting a frame to PNG, Figma is increasing the image size by 1 pixel only on the horizontal axis, which is a problem when I need artwork with exact dimensions.  

Hello I’m not able to select ‘on click’ in my prototype. It needs to open an overlay when clicking on a button. The default interaction is ‘on tab’ which I don’t want it to be. Does anyone know this problem and how to solve it?  

How can i create a scroll-changing header that remains fixed on top while scrolling, and can be applied to multiple pages.

Ive created a Bottom Navigation bar and after setting it normal none scrollable frame there isnt an issue but when i apply it to a long frame where i have to scroll vertically, just after i apply fixed (Stay in place) when i play in prototyope the bar bounces to middle of the frame and back after clicking on the icons.Can someone please help me with this as it keeps occuring for me everytime or is there any hack to avoid this?

Hey! I found peculiar issue with size variable with constrained proportions in Figma. When adjusting size values with variables, I expected both variables to update simultaneously since constraints was on, but it didn’t change the opposite value at all.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. We recently moved from Adobe XD to Figma because Adobe abandoned the software. We have many files and boards that we need to transfer from XD to Figma. I’ve tried the Covertify plugin, which brings the pages across broken and I also tried contacting Magicul for more information about their service, but I didn’t get a response and their social reviews are negative. Has anyone had any success transferring files and boards from XD to Figma? If so, how did you do it? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I seem to have run into an issue with variable mode switching - here’s the issue:my design system has a set of around 300 variables for 4 different services and in the main library I am able to switch between these 4 ones on components just fine. However, now I wanted to create a collection of variables in a different file (where the main library is attached) and I want to be able to get the assets from my main library and switch it between the modes defined in main library BUT also between the modes in the new collection created in the local.I may add that all the colour, text, … variables are different for each service value-wise but they are defined by the same name: same goes for the newly created file - the names matchIs there a solution or a workaround that’s worked for you or anything you can recommend? Thanks in advance! 

I have found some of my responsive designs when viewed as a responsive prototype are scaling down correctly but then are still scrollable to the right with a blank area. Solution - Set the Scroll Behaviour Overflow to Vertical on the top most frame (not sure if this works if your top most frame is a component) Hope this helps someone, Cheers

Hi guys, Is this a bug or is it a missing feature? If I take a components from one file, and I use it in another file, and after using it it the second file I make some changes in the original component, the changes won’t reflect in the second file. I basically need to copy it again from the main file to the second file.

Hi everyone, We recently created a design system where every component is its own library and the people in the organisation needs to enable that library in order to use the component. However, we also show our design system through an online service and allow user to access the component files (view only) clicking on the file. Therefor we give the following access: It then says “Everyone at (organisation) can ac

Hi guys,When I create an interaction for a prototype and I wanna select the trigger, the trigger drop down is cut off. Please fix this soon, it’s pretty annoying.Thank you  

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Figma plugin using variables, and I've encountered an issue with variable binding information on instances. Here's my situation: For a component (the main/original component) that has its characters property bound to a string variable, I can successfully retrieve the binding details. For example, using: node.boundVariables['characters'] returns an object with binding information (including the variable alias). Then, using await figma.variables.getVariableByIdAsync(variableId), I can get the variable details (and see a variableDetails structure, including the variable ID and mode-specific values). However, when I create an instance of that component and bind its characters property to a variable, the resulting instance's characters property resolves to the overridden string valu
