Hi5 to everyone

Hello everyone, I’m Saeed, a professional Graphic, UI/UX Designer, and Game Developer. My work is not confined to the technical sphere only, as I am also a skilled Illustrator and Painter. My love for design and painting is deeply ingrained in me, they are my true passions. I believe coding to be highly addictive. It constantly challenges my mind, compelling me to put my utmost efforts. You can take a closer look at my work by visiting my website at my site. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Apply an Existing Color Variable to a Line Stroke Using Figma's Variables API

Hello, I’ve developed a plugin that creates lines between two rectangles in Figma, and I’d like to apply or assign an existing color variable to this new line. I’ve tried using this code, // Create the line as a vector const line = figma.createVector(); // Set line properties line.resizeWithoutConstraints(1, 1); line.strokes = [{ type: 'SOLID', color: { r: 0.616, g: 0.651, b: 0.725 } }]; line.opacity = 0.6; line.strokeWeight = Math.floor(Math.random() * (8 - 1) + 1); // Try to assign an existing variable to the newly created line const fillsCopy = line.clone(line.strokes); const variable = figma.variables.getVariableById("VariableID:1303:9577"); const newStrokes = figma.variables.setBoundVariableForPaint(fillsCopy, 'color', variable) line.strokes = newStrokes but I’m struggling to pinpoint the issue. Here’s the error that’s being displayed: Error: in setBoundVariableForPaint: Expected "paintCopy.type" to be one of the allowed val

Help with app flow

Hello, I’m working on a prototype for an events app, and I’m trying to wrap my head around this question: The flow is - choose a type of event, then where and then when. However how can I link the screens when only the type of the event changes (just for testing speaking). For example: Type: Party, where: Berlin, when: Today, should link to the parties results section. However: Type: festival, where: Berlin, when: today, should link to the festivals results section. Do I need to copy all the where and when screen in order to create a flow for each type of event, or can I somehow avoid that by using the same screens of the where and when. Thanks

Is there a a way to make actions happen only the first time a page is visited?

The first time someone visits a page, I want a modal to pop up that briefly explains how this section works… kind of like a tiny tutorial. I don’t want it to show up on subsequent visits though. I have the frame open the overlay of the modal window on a delay. That’s easy. But how do I get it to NOT call the overlay if someone navigates to this page a second time (ie returning after the tutorial)? This would be very useful for illustrating the difference between a path of a first time user and an established user without having to duplicate the ENTIRE PATH of all frames with tutorial elements attached. Does this exist? If not this would be hugely helpful to anyone using Figma for product demos. Thanks!

Embedded Software

Hi, I am exploring the possibility of using Figma to develop embedded software that operates without an internet connection, tightly integrated with hardware. Could you provide guidance on the creation, embedding process with hardware, and deployment specifics, if applicable?

Downgrade Organization to Professional - Possible?

I had a Figma Professional account. While I was updating our annual invoice to add extra Design seats, I upgraded to Figma Organization by accident. I submitted a ticket to reverse this as it’s not feasible for me to have Figma Organization. Has anyone experienced this, gone through the Support team, and was successful at reversing this?

Is there anyway via activity logs or REST API to see how many developers are accessing Dev Mode?

We’re trying to gauge how often our engineers are using Dev Mode. Does Figma have any baked in reporting mechanisms that report on this? If not, is there a way via any of the APIs to gauge how many and often devs are using Dev Mode?

Instance breaks autolayout wrap after changing to another variant

File for reference: https://www.figma.com/file/v9PuyvEWCmWZ631e3KpWo5/Error?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=3uOJJX0KDqEZ405s-1 I created a dialog box that uses a nested component called “footer” where I added two instances of the button component. The buttons have a minimum size, as the footer is supposed to wrap if the container gets too small. The component works fine, until I change one of the button variants. I have a variant called “Error” for one of the buttons (don’t come after me with variables, it doesn’t allow for enough modes to use it for button states). When I change the button variant, it breaks the wrap and both buttons are smushed together in a single row. I can get them to wrap again but only if I change them to “hug”, but I need them to fill each of their lines.

How can I bring my Figma Design System online?

After 2 years I have built a very extensive design system defining all UI elements in our product’s design. This file lives inside Figma and developers and sometimes external people need to access it. I would like this styleguide to be accessible online however, I was thinking in the style of the iOS or Android design guidelines. I can just make it into an interactive prototype and share the Figma link but I was wondering if others had already done something similar, if there are useful plugins, or if there are other suggestions before I start. Thx

Figma API - createEllipse performance issue

Hi, i’m writing a Figma plugin and at some point I need to create ellipse over the design. I notice that it takes some time, so when I need to create multiple (above 10) it’s kind of slow. tried different shapes, same issue. I wonder if anyone else experience it and if there’s a workaround or other solution than createEllipse. I need any kind of shape with a number inside. I tried create shapeWithText but got an error that it’s not a function, I assume since it’s for FigJam only.

Design system updates are ruining child component content

When my team makes updates to our Modal component and publish those updates, its changing the content within instances of that Modal component in other peoples files. Its overriding peoples work. Designers will add copy and swap out an instance within a Modal component. When the parent component is updated in the design system and published, the designer accepts the update, and it reverts all of the content they put in the Modal back to the design system generic content. I spoke with the Figma support team and they said that as long as the layer names and hierarchy of the parent and child component are the same, this shouldn’t happen. I made sure that all of the layers match, and it these overrides still occurred. This is incredibly frustrating and it makes it so Im unable to update our Modal component. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated 🙏
