Importing SVG with transparency mask

In need of a workaround for importing SVG illustrations using transparency masks to a Figma artboard, as all shapes are fully exposed with disregard for the mask when imported. Apparently, there was a plugin developed by Figma for this purpose at one point, but this is no longer available.

Publishing libraries in different workspaces

I published 1 library to the entire organization (eg v1.0.0). Now I have a set of components that I want to test first - I’m considering publishing them inside the team first and then to the entire organization (v 2.0.0). What happens to v1.0.0 if I do that?

Use Figma with subcontrators

Hey! Do you have any experience with using a Figma account with many designer subcontractors for several projects? I’s seems a very simple question but I am not sure if there any opportunity to connect two different Figma accounts maybe, to see the exact same desingns in both (but only the designer can edit it.) Because asking for access to many different accounts can be messy. But if the designer already has a separate account, we don’t want to pay twice because it’s unnecessary. So what do you think what is the best way to see all the projects in one Figma account whit different subcontrators? Thank you for your help! 🙏

Figma branches and merges MS Teams notifications

In this article: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039813234-Manage-your-notification-preferences#Branching_Organization_plans_only It should state how you can get notifications in MS Teams, for branches and merges, however it doesn’t necessarily mention how to setup that. Can someone walk me through this?

Adding an action to an overlay

Im building a travel booking site. On the homepage, there is a search bar with location, check in/out dates and guests. When you click on location a search city overlay pops up and you can choose your city, for dates a date picker overlay pops up to select dates etc. When the overlay closes I want the data selected in the overlays to update in the search bar Now, I know how to close the overlay, and I know how to navigate to the next page, but I can’t get the two interactions to play back-to-back and update the search bar. Any help is appreciated!

StackBlitz SDK issues with Plugins

Hey community, I’m trying to integrate StackBlitz’s SDK for generating sandboxes on the fly from my Figma plugin, but I’m facing a strange issue. I’m being redirected to the sandbox, but the code is missing, so probably the “body” isn’t reaching StackBlitz. I reached out to the StackBlitz team as well, it’s all good from their side & works from browsers so most probably it’s Figma App which is stripping the request from the SDK for some reason. What’s even weirder is I can’t see any network request being sent to the endpoint. The steps I’m following are listed here: Creating projects with the SDK | StackBlitz Docs

Component Animation - 2 animations

Hey guys, I’m relatively new to Figma and have a question about component animation. Here’s the scenario: I have a button that enlarges when clicked, created with 3 variants of a component. It works great. Now, in my prototype, I want to click the button, have the enlargement animation occur, and automatically switch to the next frame. Just like you would expect when transitioning to the next page in an app by tapping a button. Unfortunately, here’s what’s happening: I click on the button in the prototype preview, the enlargement animation happens, and to move to the next frame, I have to click again. Unfortunately, I can’t find a way for both actions to occur automatically in sequence. Can anyone help me with this? I’m currently using the free version of Figma. I would greatly appreciate your assistance, thank you very much!

Change to on instance not keeping text change

I made a component for a drawer that opens and closes to show a list below it. I made an instance where a nav uses multiple of this component with different text for each drawer. When I set up my prototype, the “change to” keeps swapping the text to what it is in the parent component rather than what I changed the text to within the instance. I already tried swapping the text within the instances (like toggling the open/close and changing the text manually) but it doesn’t work. It keeps switching the text to the parent component text instead. Curious if anyone else ran into this issue and could help

Viewing Spacing in Dev Mode - Multiple Layers

Hey all, I’ve only just started looking at Dev Mode and I love the way it displays layer padding and gaps between layers in auto layout frames. I have noticed that Figma lets you select one layer, and shows it’s padding/gaps, and then hover over a second layer to see the padding/gaps for that layer as well. Does anyone know a way to select all layers, or many layers, and see the padding/gaps for all selected layers? I have tried using SHIFT to select multiple layers but as soon as I do the padding/gaps disappear. I’d like to be able to build up a view of all the layers that I want spacing for, screen grab it and send to developers. Any ideas would be great.

Images going down in resolution automatically

I have recently noticed that the resolution of the images in my layout were pixelated, even though I have placed high resolution images. I place the high resolution images into my layout and they look great on screen, even @ 200. They look fine even after multiple closing/opening of the file. At some point, I notice that they have become pixelated. This affects the quality of the exported assets. I wouldn’t care if Figma automatically lowered the dpi or quality like jpgs do but these changes are very noticeable. Anyone else have this issue?

How to best utilise Boolean variables in prototyping?

I feel like I’m going to break my brain thinking about this, so I’d be super curious to hear how others are handling their prototypes. Our design system provides an “app launcher” component consisting of a button and a dropdown menu. The app launcher has a property “Is open” that can be either true or false. Other elements have the same type of property – on a page with several dropdowns and menus you can have dozens of components that are either open or closed. What I do want: All the components that have an “Is open” property close on click anywhere on the screen that isn’t one of the components. What I don’t want: All the components that have an “Is open” property open on click on any one of them. What works is to create a Boolean for each component – “App launcher is open” (true/false), “Personal menu is open” (true/false), “Honorific selection is open” (true/false) and so on. Then I can create an on-click event for the entire page to set all these to false. However I also need to

Why do my components' scroll behavior "Position" always reset to "Scroll with parent"?

Is this just the default behavior of components when put inside a frame? Example, I created a navbar component and have it’s Scroll Behavior - Position set to “Fixed.” When I drag it from the assets panel the Scroll Behavior will reset to “Scroll with parent”. The component does not keep the “Fixed” setting… I know I can just copy and paste to preserve that setting…but it makes workflows slower because I have to find my style sheet and copy the main component every time I make a new frame for a different screen. Thanks for any answer.

Finalising various shape types to a single vector

Hi, I have created a logo which has the following elements: Some letters created from a font with a thin style / weight Some letters created from the same font with a black / extrabold weight In-between, two lines manually created using the pen tool. This element has a rectangle underneath is as a mask, so that I can control the shape and length of the manual lines: My n00b question is how do I flatten this element so that I just end up with an outlined vector of the two lines exactly as they appear there? Thanks!
