Design file and linked library: Is it possible to create a copy of them that is also linked to each other?

I have a Figma project with mobile app layouts and a library of components, styles, icons, colors, etc that is linked to this project. We are currently planning a slight rebranding of the application (so far only colors and some styles) and therefore I want to create a copy of this project and library. I would like the copy of the project and the library to be linked by default in the same way as the originals. That is, Project 1 is linked to Library 1 > I copy Project 1 and Library 1 > Project 2 and Library 2 are created > Project 2 and Library 2 are linked only to each other and Project 2 and Library 2 do not link to Project 1 and Library 1 at all. I tried the following and this is what I got: I copied Project 1 and Library 1 > Project 2 and Library 2 were created > I unlinked Project 2 from Library 1 and linked to Library 2 > Components in Project 2 still refer to Library 1, HOWEVER, the colors are already referenced in Library 2. I wouldn’t want to rebuild every l

Help me please! Figma does not want to launch on a Mac desktop.

The home page loads and that’s it. It allows me to create a file from scratch, but after I close it I can no longer access it. Endless loading and nothing more. Also, old projects are not opened. Mac version: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) 3.1 GHz 2-core Intel Core i7 processor 16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

How do I placing a tab switcher within a component?

Hi guys, I’m new here, and a Figma beginner, so apologies if I’m asking a basic question here. I’ve created a menu switcher to move between tabs within a web page mockup using this really helpful Mavi design YouTube tutorial This works great, but I’m now trying to incorporate this “tab switcher” into a wider web page layout. I’ve created a Loom video which hopefully explains my issue. Watch it here: https://www.loom.com/share/593b9ead237a47448de4de5150a7d671?sid=9a80a5eb-c6d8-4c56-b567-6ac6ee0bc615 The current menu solution relies on moving between different pages which causes problems when I’m trying to incorporate it into an overall single web page design as I’ve explained in the video. I’m wondering if there is a more appropriate solution for achieving this, or if I can adapt the current solution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Duncan

Component/variants with square around them

Why do some components & variants have this square around them? (image) while others do not? The ones with a square around them seem to be interrupting the interactions, how do I get rid of them? Without having to recreate all the components and variants without the square around them.

Scroll settings on master components vs. prototype instances

I rely very heavily on master components to make design more efficient. Because scroll settings are set at the component level and ensuring they work requires content overflow and clip-content settings, it causes problems when I want to display an unclipped component in the design for review, but also have it scroll properly in prototypes. Seems I can’t have both because I’m not able to resize the component for clipping just in the prototype. Am I missing something or is this flexibility a missing feature?

Nested Components Prototyping Bug

Hello, been running into the same problem over the past few months. If using multiple instances of a component inside of another component, they’ll get confused with each other while in prototype mode, resulting in buggy behavior. I’ve had several people in my team come to me with the same problem. While I did find a fix (naming the components with unique names so they don’t get confused with each other) this feels like a bug that should be automatically handled by Figma. The first time I ran into this I think it took me almost an hour to figure out. File example Video of problem: A related thread, though the solution was the workaround, rather than Figma fixing the source of the problem

Person who is not the owner of the file is able to delete files permanently

I’ve created a file and I am the owner, but another person with edit permission was able to permanently delete my file if they try to do it just a few seconds after deleting the file. If they take a few minutes to try to delete permanently, the option doesn’t show up anymore and only the owner is able to delete ir forever or restoring it — as it should be.

When there are 2 or more instances need updates, it will show the “Locate” icon to quickly go to the instances. But when there is only 1 instance, the button is gone. How can I find that instance in the file? In this case it should have been renamed I can not use Find to find it by layer name.

Importing modules on the Figma Plugin

Hi! I’m trying to import a module (@huggingface/inference) to my code.ts file. I installed the module, but I’m running into this error on the import line ( Cannot find module '@huggingface/inference'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'nodenext', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option? ). I’m new to typescript, so help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Unable to apply border-width variables

There is no variable icon next to the border-width input box. I am unable to apply my border-width variable. However, if I click on Custom, the 4 width boxes that appear do have the variable icon. I don’t want to have to individually apply my border width when they are all the same.

Place and replace deletes all connector lines in figma

I’m building out flows in Figma using connector lines that I copied over from FigJam. When I use the place and replace action to swap out one screen with another, all the connector lines connected to that screen also get deleted. I have to manually disconnect each point for each connector line, use the place and replace action, then move the connector lines back to each element. Is there a way to not have the connector lines get deleted if I swap out a screen?

Interactive component dropdown

I created an interactive dropdown component with different states: default, hover, clicked and disabled. The “clicked” state displays a list of items that can be clicked to trigger actions (e.g. load a frame or navigate to a page). When I use the component in my prototype, I customize the labels of the list items by overriding the text. Problem: when I launch the prototype, the texts I defined in the instance do not appear but the default texts of the component. Did I miss a step?
