Figma LottieFile extension not rendering images upon export

Hi, I’m using the LottieFiles plugin to export an animation to Framer. It looks great in the Figma LottieFiles panel, but when I upload it to Framer, (using the Lottie element) the pictures do not render. Does anyone have a fix for this? I’ve also tried using the dotlottie extension instead, with the same results.

Image export (REST) intermittently disregards variable mode

In a certain scenario, only parts of the exported images use the correct variable mode. Given this simple variable setup in a variable library file: And this simple component in a component library file, utilizing the variables from the variable library file: When I pull in the component from the component library file into the variable library file and set the page variable mode to “dark” the component looks like this in the file: But when exported through the REST api, it looks like this: Exporting it through the UI works as expected. This bug is seen for both svg and png. How to reproduce: Create a variable library file that supports two modes (light/dark) and publish them. In a separate file, create a component using variables from the variable library file and publish it. Import component onto page in the variable library file Set entire page to alternative mode (dark) Export image using REST api (/getImage) See result.

Open overlay on on drag trigger + on drag documentation

Hi, Is there any more detailed documentation on the on drag trigger apart from general article on prototype triggers (https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040035834-Prototype-triggers)? This trigger seems to have a few condition to work I think (eg. like content expanded over parent component frame … I think at least, etc). Are these conditions documented somewhere? At the moment I am especially interested in 2 questions concerning this trigger: a. Can on drag trigger ever pair with “open an overlay” action on a parent frame? b. Can on drag actually ever work out of a component (apart from setting variables, which I have tested, that it can do out of a component)?

Font uploading takes forever

When we try to upload an Asian language font (example: https://codeberg.org/nobles5e/fonts-for-figma-bug-report/raw/branch/main/Medium.ttf ), on Admin > Resources > Fonts page, it takes forever to complete the request.

[BUG] Bug in alignment

After the latest update, I’m unable to change my styles due to an icon alignment issue in the UI. Whenever I hover over the styles, the icon shifts downward, preventing me from opening and modifying them. This behavior is happening both in the Figma app and browser.

Is "Measure the Distance" changed?

I feel I can’t measure two elements as I did before. For example, if I select the grey box and press Option, the red line distance won’t show.

Can a developer have Design-seat Viewer adn Dev-mode full seat?

Hi there, I’m trying to optimise our people and billing. Developers only need to view and inspect code and elements, they don’t need to edit or create. Can I set all developers to viewer-restricted (design seat) and full seat (dev-mode)? Or does Figma force us all to have both ticked in as full to earn more money? 😕 /Magnus

Dashboard not appearing, colours missing, comments not displaying

Hi all, Is there service disruptions currently? I’m facing a number of issues including Dashboard/Home area staying in a skeleton state and not showing projects Colours imported from our design system not showing. All our libraries look to have bee removed as I’m seeing the ‘Add to file’ button and they’re not letting me re-add. When leaving comments, they’re not showing on the Figma board after the comment is submitted. I still get the notification but just can’t see where it is on the board. Any suggestions to fix would be much appreciated. Thanks

How do I find my invoices?

I’m feeling like an idiot. I’m on a professional plan, but I can’t find any invoices in my email and I can’t find anyplace in the Figma site to download previous invoices. This should be easy…been looking for 15 minutes and can’t find anything.

Instance Scaling Bug or Not?

I’m at a complete loss here and trying to figure out why. I have a main component and two identically setup instances, yet only one of the instances scales accordingly to the way i wanted it to work but the other does not scale at all and I can’t figure out why. From what I can see the properties are identical so I’m completely confused. Is this a software bug or am I missing something? I’ve attached a video for reference. You can view and make a copy of the file here to test it yourself. Figma – 28 Nov 24 Looking forward to figuring out what the heck is going on and a solution so I can fix this issue if I run into it again. Thanks in advance, -Confused

Bug when switching variable modes in nested components

I’m trying to switch a variant of component instance by switching variable mode. This works perfect once the component A is on top level and not nested. But if I nest component A into component B and then change the variable, the instance of component A still changes the variant as supposed but this also resets all other other properties of comp A to their defaults. This doesn’t happen when comp A is not nested. Tried with several components even with the simplest created from scratch. This topic doesn’t relate to prototypes and interactivity.

Can someone gift me a Figma Subscription?

Do they have Gift Cards towards Figma Subscription? The annual subscription tier as a gift is pricey, do they have gift cards for subscription of different increments like couple of months? Thanks for replying

Add Support for Selecting Color Variables in 'Set Variable' Actions

Currently, there is no way to select the value for “Value” from the Variable Library when using the following setup: Interaction: “While Hovering” Action: “Set Variable” Target: [Color from Variable Library] I would like to have the option to select the value by choosing from an already defined color variable.

Dark-mode variables and foundation setup

For my Primitives, I have added the Neutral colours as hex codes, light and dark use separate palettes and don’t pull from the same palette. When I go to map my Primitives to their Semantic names, the dark mode column shows the same colours as the light mode. There’s no way for me to add the dark mode primitives I’ve defined before. Also, to preview how my design will look in dark mode I have to switch both Semantic/Primitive modes in order to see the theme change. Is there a better way I could do this?

Is this feature possible? ("Drag and hold" carrousel)

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it’s possible to have an “drag and hold” picture carrousel. By this I mean that while on prototype mode the user can drag the pictures and change their place, just like when we do an Instagram post and we want to put some pictures first. Is it possible to prototype something like this? Thank you for taking the time Ap

In prototype mode, the hover effect ("while hovering") sticks and does not disappear

In prototype mode, the hover effect (“while hovering”) sticks and does not disappear after hovering over an element. As a result, when hovering over several objects, all hover effects remain on the screen. What is the bug? : worried: Closing and reopening the prototype helps solve the problem. But after some time, the bug may appear again. It looks like some kind of memory problem, in general, prototypes and files take a long time to load and sometimes slow down. It’s very unpleasant to work. In Figma via macOS app

Border radii bug?

I created two squares using the rectangle tool, both using the same border radius on the bottom left corner. However, one of the square seems to apply the radius on the wrong corner. I checked the rotation and it doesn’t seem to have any flips or rotation applied. Is this a bug?

Why am I prompted for a very old update?

With a pro account, I work on the same library every week. As a result, I have to push and update a lot. So all my dependencies files are often synced. Why is Figma offering me an update from two years ago? @Gayani_S ?

Copy Variables between Modes

Lots of posts about copying variables between files…but how do we copy variables between modes? I have a thorough set of variables with light and dark modes. Figma recently made it possible to apply variables to shadows. So now I added the variable set for shadows. However, it seems that I have to manually set the variable for each of the items in BOTH the light and dark modes. 🤬 Am I missing something? Does someone have a better process that I am skipping? How can I duplicate from one mode to the other without ending up with a whole third mode? This feels like missing functionality to me.

Can I create prototypes that are responsive?

Hi all, I’m 2 weeks in learning Figma so bear with me, I just finished designing a home page with prototypes and all. It was approved and I got the go to make the thing responsive for tablet and mobile. I tried to educate myself as much as I could on auto layout, constraints and all, but it seems like when I create a component that has instances and I put them into a auto layout, it doesn’t work as it should. It seems like if I want to use the same prototyped animation for desktop, tablet and mobile I need to recreate that prototype for each version? It seems like too much work. My example is: I Created a slideshow for the showcase section of the website. My slideshow is made of 5 images inside a auto layout, inside a frame that are turned into a component. The frame acts as a clipping mask to show only one picture at a time. I then created variants of this component showing different pictures each time. The prototype is set on a delay, and auto animates to switch picture automatically

Can the “Fill” image align to the top instead of center?

I resurrect this topic from another user that was closed without any response. For example: Using the Fill option for the image, the image will be center aligned when the container size changes. I need the image still fill the width of the container, but align to the top of the image, instead of the center. Crop doesn’t work, bc it will scratch the image only on the X-axis. The container can get wider, but the height is fixed. I tried different way (change the image to scale, auto layout, etc) and couldn’t find a way to achieve this. Anyone knows a trick? Or this is something Figma cannot do at the moment? Thanks!

Ability to set a slice and have that display in an image container in figma slide

I want to showcase my design system in a presentation, but preparing slices, exporting them, and importing them into slides is a cumbersome process. It would be amazing if I could set a slice, for example, 810x810, and directly target that slice in a Figma slide. This way, I could pull it through seamlessly into the slide. Additionally, having the ability to zoom, rotate, and adjust the slice directly within the slide would make it much easier to perfect the content.
