Interactions for reusable components

I’m having a button component with a hover state. I’m reusing this button it in a prototype in its default state for obvious reasons. I add an “on click event” of the button to navigate to another page and it doesn’t navigate to it. How possibly Figma’s team think I can attach the on click event / prototype interaction on the hover state, when I am reusing the defaults component state and I don’t want to remove hover effects.

Organization editors for only 2 months?

Organization plan is billed anually. If I want to collaborate with somebody for eg 3 months: Can I invite, restrict after 3 months and then pay only those 3 months? Or do I have to pay for one full year? Or until the end of the year? Thanks in Advance! 🙏🏼💫

Include Drop Shadow In Image Width/Height Measurement

Hello everyone, I’m developing a design for a website and the design has a series of png images that have several layers of drop shadows The issue I’m having is I’m trying to get the measurements correct so that the shadows aren’t clipped on the developed site. Any tips. The png images each have a different shape behind it as decoration so I was hoping to export the image and shape together as one image Is there anyway to include the drop shadows in the measurements so I know what rem size to give the parent div

Component overwrites not carried over when nested in other components

I have a dropdown component, with property that allows exposing a dropdown menu. I made overwrites to this component (define what’s in the dropdown) and nested this component with overwrites in another component (header). Now when I go to a dropdown instance in header component and I try to reveal the dropdown menu (trough properties) my previous overdrives are set back to master component defaults. The only workaround that I found is to make a new component out of overwritten one and nest instance of that new component. It seems cumbersome, and I don’t get it why it’s not doing what it’s supposed to do from the begging.

Text styles need to be breaked to use auto width, auto height or other formatting functions

Hi all, When I add a text style to a text box, the resizing options “auto width” and “auto height” are no longer available on the text box. This is inconvenient for me because in my designed products the sizing rules of a textbox are dependent on the component it is placed into - not on the fact that it’s a H1 or H2 etc. What is more, setting part of the styled text to bold will break the style. This is counterproductive because if I ever want to edit my text style the change won’t be applied to my paragraphs with a few bold words - - so the advantage of saving time is gone. I want to keep my text styles because it could save me time, but I must use different resizing rules and bold, italic, etc. words. Does anyone else struggle with this? Do you know any solution for this problem? <3

Can you search text by formatting?

Is it possible to search by formatting like in Indesign? For example, can I search for all text using the font size of 24 pt?

Conflict between new and old font versions.

We use a custom font. A month ago, I reinstalled the font on my computer, and now all the old layouts have this bug: when I put the cursor in the text to make changes - the text moves up by 2 pixels. In the updated version, the line height has been changed. What to do with old layouts now? need to update on each and correct the height of each text (content, buttons, tables…)?

Duplicate color token appearing

I recently made a minor update to the color palette in my library, and now I’m encountering an issue where two identical tokens are appearing in the libraries panel. The puzzling part is that the old color persists as a selectable value, even though it has been updated in the main library file.

Add CODE_BLOCK, STAMP and HIGHLIGHTER nodes to the REST API

Currently the following node types are not included in JSON output: CODE_BLOCK, STAMP, HIGHLIGHTER. If you use the GET file endpoint, the JSON will not have any of the above nodes. If you use the GET file nodes endpoint, you will get this output for each of the above nodes: { "document": null, "components": {}, "componentSets": {}, "schemaVersion": 0, "styles": {} }

Making arrow icons

I’m trying to do some icon design and I want to recreate this purple arrow. Is there any icon design experts that can provide tips on the best way to recreate this arrow. Right now I’m making a circle and then using the arc feature but its not as smooth and simple. I’m fairly new to Figma so I feel like there must be a better way 😕

Images don't load

Hello all 🙂 Issue I imported images into Figma. When I go back to the file : Some images take several minutes to display. Other images never appear. To be noted This happens both on the app and on Chrome. I already cleared the cache in the app. But it didn’t fix it. When I double-click on the image, it finally appear. But when I close Figma file and come back, the problem appear again. Can you help?

Limit to where students can write?

New to this, but as a special ed behavior teacher, I am looking to possibly utilize this to help my students collaborate, but I have found that they are drawing, deleting, and doing everything but what they should be on the document. (Thinking about making a layer where they can only interact with their space?) Is there a way to limit what they can move/interact with? I have been watching tutorials and playing around, but have not found a way yet, and help would be great!

Size variables are no longer working

I had set up several components to use size variables for the frame size, and they worked fine. But I’ve come back to that file several weeks later, and they no longer work, even though no one has made any changes to them. Now they all look like they’re set to the same size, even though they each have a different size mode, and those modes each have different sizes defined. For some reason, Figma seems to be ignoring the selected mode.

Prototyping action malfunctions, changing components erratically

I have tried to rethink the way this interaction is supposed to happen, and spent the better part of my day last Friday trying to figure it out, even though I have built similar interactions a million times before. I might be doing something wrong, but I am becoming more and more certain that this is a bug. The video below shows the individual button component that makes up the sections of the segmented button below. You will see that the interaction on the button is as follows: Default state changes to hover state on while hovering Hover state changes to pressed state on while pressing Hover state changes to active state on on click (this works better than trying to do on click for the pressed state) Then I have a simple component set of 5 variants where clicking on one option should toggle the view to the next, but instead, you can see what happens. The nested component SHOULD remain active after pressing, and yet it goes back to default. If this is not a bug, I would love to l

Unable to play embedded video in Prototype

I’ve built a prototype (Frame 1) that that uses the “on-click” interaction to pop-up a new frame (Frame 2). In Frame 2 I’ve embedded a video. The video also has an “on-click; play” interaction assigned. It will play the embedded video in design mode, but in presentation it will not play on click. When linking the video to an outside page (YouTube) it plays, so at least that interaction appears to be functioning appropriately in presentation. I also added clickable play buttons outside of the embedded video in Frame 2, and those also would not play in presentation mode. The video is under 30MB, and I’m designing with a Professional account. I tried it a few different ways: 1) embedding the video saved to the laptop, 2) embedding the video by pasting the YouTube video link in FigJam and then bringing it over to Figma, 3) embedding the video saved to Google Drive, and again with iCloud. Is this a known constraint with prototypes or is there a setting I’m missing somewhere? Thanks!

Text is cropped in bottom

I have a problem with text cropping in the bottom. If you look closely in the attached screenshot you can see that the bottom is not rendered correctly in prototype mode. Sometimes it works when there is a second text object close to it but when you delete the second item the first goes back to being cropped. The problem is the same with different fonts. Any ideas how to fix this?

Variables & Widgets

Hi All, I’m looking to solve a problem using variables but it’s unclear to me if i’ll be able to (I’m trying to get access to variables via getting an enterprise account, but i dont have the upgraded account yet so i cant test this myself just now). The objective I had was to change a image using variables, but its clear you cant use variables to change an image source today. My backup idea was to build a widget that uses the plugins api to access the variables in the page. It seems i can do this, but what i don’t know is will my widget get notified of any changes when variables on the page update? It would be ideal that if a widget depends on a variable, that when the variable changes the widget automatically re-renders. I intend to use this as an embed on a public page, so the visitors wont be able to trigger the re-render, so ideally I can rely on the widget to do this on its own. If anyone from Figma is reading this, the ability to change an image source via the REST API would also

Bug report: Type settings lack of update rendering method when style is selected

When we assign a text style to a text frame, we lose access to the “details” tab. Therefore, if the text frame is not updated with the new text rendering method (update from last year if I remember correctly), assigning text style (that has this update accepted) doesn’t inherit the update. As we don’t have access to details after assigning the style we cannot accept the update otherwise than detaching style, updating, and reassigning style. Link to test playground: https://www.figma.com/file/NtqkUTg1cZXKHdusCtDMqk/Text-style-bug?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=kuVM7xMPfCGzt57N-1
