Hi,I just wanted to ask if i will be able to use Figma sites with my educational plan or not. Figma sites actually looks fantastic :)

Hi,I am looking into some docs to create a plugin … I would like to make another “Copy as” feature to match our component development platform. I took the tutorials (orange rectangle party), added webpack bundling and started exploring the API.When using getMainComponentAsync from one of the nodes it goes wrong, the function returns nothing, I get no exceptions and execution just stops.It’s weird ‘cause I can do this from the console in figma but not from my plugin, any suggestions?Is a plugin the right way to achieve what I want ? Oh, I have dynamic-page set … otherwise the asyncs wont work ;-) TxY.

I believe the image bellow will explain the entirety of the issue + an explanation.

We have 4-5 Figma files with different colours styles (because the maximum groups of colour variables can be just 4 in a Figma file). We whitelabel our site, thats why we have plenty of groups of colour variables.So we have 4-5 Figma files with different groups of colour variables. For one of our customers we did a unique screen design for a unique service (we created another Figma file for them, because they have unique colour combos as well). Now we would like if this feature would be in our general template as well, but when I copy the screen design (frame), it brings the original colour variables, that won’t be a big problem if I would be able to change that to the ones where I pasted it. But I can’t!!! Attached screenshots:The original colour groups:  After the frame paste - the colour variables:

Anybody know how to fix it? Now only avaible on web.

This question was posted a while back, and never answered.  I’m having the same issue.  I’ve created a component with 3 variants.  From within a variant, I want to navigate to another frame in my prototype.  But, this isn’t working.  Any tips?  Or, maybe this can’t be done?

I want to prototype the generation of text that animates after submitting an AI prompt. In other words– when you type a prompt into Chat GPT and hit submit, the words begin to appear one after another as the response is created. I would like to understand an easy way to to this.

Hi Figma Community! Basically, I have a bunch of one size icons as variants in a component - they all have an auto layout frame applied to them. I want to use the icons throughout my design, but in different sizes. However, I don’t want to create varying sizes within the main component, as there would be too many icons and it would look messy. So what I normally do is: Create another test component using the icon with another element (for example, with a CTA here) Scale the icon using the scale tool (larger as an example here) Then instance swap it and it usually adheres to the new scaled size that I give it. However, recently, this method hasn’t been working and the instance just retains the same size as its original parent varient. *As a note, the icon starts scaling properly if I detatch the instance. Which ideally I don’t want to be doing, as I may have changes to the test component that I need reflected th

Hello,I just want to ask about the steps to sell on Figma community, when I start publishing the checkbox “sell this resource on community” is disabled, any ideas?

The svg_include_node_id property doesn't exist in the Pulgin API's ExportAsync method when exporting to SVG, but it is present in the REST API's GET image endpoint. Can we please have the property in the Plugin API as well? The svg_include_id property isn't enough to map figma nodes to SVG elements. It will be very helpful if the property can be added to the Plugin API.Plugin API SVG Export SettingsREST API GET Image SVG Settings 

Hi, Why can we not use naming that matches JSON when creating tokens? My developers cannot just copy paste the tokens since the naming is different.  

Hey Guys,I am not being able to use Brandfetch plugin. Is something wrong with this plugin? I searched online and it has not been closed too. Can somebody help me out in this? It shows something like this in all of the similar kind of plugins 

I’ve got variable strings where I need to display a portion of the string as a link, or bold. Normally I would just be able to select the text and style accordingly, but doing so with a variable string breaks the link to the variable. I could break the string up into various parts, stylizing the individual parts as needed, but when you are dealing with a paragraph of text it would be impossible to keep the various parts reading like a paragraph (unbroken) as string lengths change, and then I am also dealing with translations/localization which moves parts around.

When i updated new figma version, i can not find variables tab anymore, or missed any step to find it?  

 When you open a file in Figma Desktop for Windows, the app always uses your system’s current date and time—even if it’s earlier than the file’s real last-edit timestamp—and records that as the file’s “Last edited date” without any validation. As a result, if your computer clock is set behind the actual time (for example, due to sync issues), Figma will overwrite the true last-modification date with a past date, effectively making it look as though you haven’t opened the file in months or even years.In the image, i’m open the last file.Time and Date now. 

A GIF is worth 1000 words, so please see below.A number of elipses (plot points) are within a frame (or group). When the container resizes the elipses should:retain their relative position (the way they do within a group) retain their absolute sizing (the way they do within a frame)How do you get both, as in this example of a plot, where the red dots should retain their size but still sit on the right point of the graph when the graph resizes? I had hoped that setting each ellipse to “proportional” and then “top+bottom/left+right” within a frame would do the trick, but no.And using a group, well their size gets wacky - they either distort into ovals, or, with proportional turned on, they get huge/tiny when adjusting the graph along one of the axes, none of which is desirable.

Seems like every feature/product they are releasing now is about expanding platform reach and pumping up IPO, not about refining and improving their existing products.When you look at the bugs, feature requests and other needs that long time users have been waiting months and even years for, it gets really frustrating as an embedded Figma user to see them not fix and enhance the basic parts of the software that we so desperately need.Am I alone here? Maybe I’m just letting it get to my head, but so many basic things are not being taken care of. Just gets frustrating.

Just before installing this update everything was running smoothly. Right after a lot of layers display shadows that are not reflected in the Effects panel which shows nothing is applied. I tried adding and removing still shows the added shadow :(

Hi, The latest build of the Figma (124.7.4) was updated in my system last week and since after that, the app has started behaving too slowly as if a lot of load is on my system which somehow felt like it would crash in some time. I thought, this might be my computer so I kept checking on my Activity Monitor to see if something was going on in the background but there was nothing. Even though I tried it as the only app running and nothing was running in the background, the behaviour remained consistent. I realised this when I switched to the web version of Figma, and things got quite smooth compared to the app’s laggy behavior. The system that I am using is a 2019 Intel i9 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, and this should not cause any problems. I am sure this is something with the most recent build. I hope I am not the only person experiencing this problem.

I was importing an SVG generated from Illustrator. The text looked off (too long). Then I inspected the SVG and the imported settings. I noticed that the “letter-spacing” attribute of <tspan> was ignored during the import. This breaks SVG specs.
