Working in education, cannot provide syllabus

I received an email a week ago that my education plan will expire in four weeks. I am currently working in education as a research assistant at a university program where we provide engineering education resources (teaching activities, workshops, class materials). I graduated in June 2024, but this position is ongoing for the next year. I would like to verify my status in education. However, on the application page, I don’t think I can provide a course syllabus or URL because I am working on engineering education resources, rather than teaching a particular course. What are my options to verifying my status?

'save local copy' stuck at 'Downloading images and saving...'

‘save local copy’ stuck at ‘Downloading images and saving…’ I have a design of just 11 frames. no prototyping, no effects, just design/layout. but as the title says, it’s stuck just like that. I really need a local copy and I’ve been trying for more than 2 weeks now. I’ve successfully saved local copies of other designs before, some of which had more frames than this one. I’ve also tried cleaning up the design, removing hidden layers, flattening some of the gifts to a bare minimum. I also tried moving the frames to a brand new file/document. still no luck. also, there’s no plugin required for this file. again, purely just texts/images/frames, etc. and like 1 or 2 components. I use the figma desktop app mostly on my Windows 10. latest updates. but I also tried saving using Figma in browser. Still the same issue. see my screenshot: 'save local copy' stuck at 'Downloading images and saving...' - Album on Imgur IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP. Thanks.

Nested Assets — Want to see all assets/components at once

In a previous version of Figma, I was able to see all of my components under the Assets at once. Now if there is nesting, I have to click a lot to see them which is super annoying. Is there a fix for this?

Clipping masks/Frames don't work on printed PDF

Hi Team! I have encountered a weird issue I had never had before. I have created a pdf in Figma, where used frames with clipping content for some headshots. Exported pdf looks fine, but printed version reveals the clipped content. Do you know what that could be? This is a screenshot from exported PDF This is how it was printed. Thanks heaps!

Gradient Color Wheel Not Rendering Correctly in SVG Export

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue when exporting a gradient color wheel design from Figma to SVG. In my Figma design, I created a circular shape with a smooth, continuous gradient that flows around the circle. However, when I export it as an SVG, the result doesn’t look the same as it does in Figma. I attach screenshots to show both: The design in Figma: The exported SVG result Has anyone else come across this issue with SVG exports? Could this be a bug, or is there a specific setting or workaround that could help? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Font changing spacing bug

I was using DM Sans on a layout on the past few days and it seemed to be going fine till then, but while working with the same layout today, i noticed that the font spacing has changed. Notice the comparison between the font on my layout and the layout in the Google Fonts website. As of right now i’m having to manually adjust the font spacing to -2%. Anyone who knows what’s happening?

Feedback on Recent Update: Variable Handling Issue

Hello Figma Team, I am reaching out to provide feedback on a recent update. Please note that this email was translated with the help of GPT, so I apologize in advance if some sentences are a bit unclear. I’ve encountered an issue with the recent changes in how the ‘variable’ property is handled for objects. The new update has made my workflow more cumbersome. Let me provide an example to explain: Let’s assume there is a text variable ‘A’, defined as ‘AA’ in ‘Mode1’ and ‘Aa’ in ‘Mode2’. In the previous version of Figma, if this variable was applied to text objects ‘C’ and ‘B’, I could easily update the variable for both objects simultaneously by selecting them together, regardless of the mode. However, in the latest update, if objects with different modes of the same variable are selected, it is no longer possible to modify the variable in bulk. This change has caused some issues in my workflow. I manage multilingual text for designed GUIs using Figma’s variable feature. To streamline t

The Imported GIF is Outlined

Hi everyone 👋 I made a 1658x658 GIF and it looks great when played, but when I import it into Figma, an outline appears, you can see that when the prototype is played. Has anyone had the same problem? I tried reloading the tab and reducing the size of the GIF, but it’s still the same. Here is the link to the file:Figma – 6 Mar 23

Nested components in swapped instances are bugged?

I have a Form Field component, and inside it I have a Label, Input, and Helper text components. The Input component can be swapped with Text Area and Select components, all these three components have a nested instance of the Content component inside it which holds text and icon as a component property. When using this Form Field component instance it behaves normally as long as I don’t swap the Input instance. If I swap the Input instance to a Select and then swap between variables of the Form Field components (a Disabled state, for example). The Select instance will be kept, but the Content instance inside of it will be reset. This is how the component is built: And this is how the properties look for this component: There is a property for instance swap where you can change the Field to Select or Text Area, these components, like I mentioned, also have the Content component inside of them, and when simply swapping instances it works normally, inheriting the changes made to the Con

When are we going to be able to stop lottie animations and GIF's looping? Its been promised for ages

Hi, As an animator it’s so frustrating seeing the lack of functionality for Lottie files compared to other packages like Flutter Flow. Animating in Figma is fine for most, but not for an animator, creating animation-heavy apps. I need After Effects Animation for character animations and other complex animations. I need Lottie files to play animations in Figma just once on splash screens etc. Seems so basic for a massive app like Figma… Please let us know if this is being looked at, otherwise, we will have to stop using Figma for creating apps. Thanks, Andrew.

Need help zooming out of text

Hey everyone, I’m a beginner in Figma and still figuring things out. Here is what I’m struggling with at the moment: I want the text ”DINORIGAMI“ to appear on the screen. This is suppose to happen by an animation that zooms out. The first frame is suppose to show the inside of the ”R” hole, then zoom out, so the whole text is visible. I tried to recreate this effect with some tutorials I watched on zooming but unfortunately couldn’t make it work. I‘m happy for any feedback or further questions. Thank you in advance!

Lost my Figma Profile

So I made a project on Figma using my student email in June 2023. After that i graduated from the college and they deleted my student email around November 2023. Now I want to access that project file but unable to. I did give view access to one of my friend’s personal email. Now she is able to view it, but cant do anything. One thing is confirmed that the project still exists, but now I cant access it. What to do… I really need that project now!

Newish to Figma. How can I copy text styles into my doc?

Coming from Sketch I can copy text with an attached text style from a document and paste it in my new sketch document and its included there. In Figma when I try to copy/paste text styles from a Figma UI Kit into my document they don’t show up as part of that document unless I add the library they came from. Is there a way round this?
