Prototype Smart Animate is really confusing me.

As shown below, when doing one of the animations it turned out fine, then when I copied it to another one, and matched everything up just like I did last time, it looks really bad and is very confusing. video here Project Link

Library is buggy and slow

Hi, is anyone else experiencing a buggy library sinds the new library update? Pushing updates takes ages to show in files where the library is added. When the update is shown in the file and you update your components nothing changes? you need to refresh the tab? Cheers, Sanny

Library syncing issues

Hi everyone, I have a design system library that I publish regularly. This library is being used in other project files. Recently I noticed that whenever I publish an update to the design system library I encounter the following three scenarios: The project files using the design system library is correctly receiving notice of all updates. I click “Update all” and it successfully reflects all changes. The project is correctly receiving notice of all updates, but clicking the “update all” button won’t reflect the updates. So, no changes at all. The “update all” button remains. Not receiving notice of the updates at all. What I tried I have read other threads in this forum, where some users suggest to repair various connections, which I did to no avail (also, the same design system library was successfully published and updated before). My questions Is this a bug? Is this a traffic bandwidth limitation? Is there a methodology that I’m not aware of that prevents this from happenin

Having problems trying to combine objects

I am making a music app for a school project. I am trying to do a horizontal line of a few items, which has a white square, image placed on top of the square and a title next to it. I was using the flatten button to do the first few items on the left, but then for some reason it stopped working. Whenever I would select the white background, the image and the text to flatten, the image would blow up and warp, but stay within the confines of their original size. This was the case no matter if I merged the image and the box first, or the image and the text, or the text and the box, etc. Same issue when trying to use ‘union selection’, except when I went to take a screenshot it started making all the elements disappear except one so that’s fun

UI3 not implementing floating side bars

Why are my side panels not undocking (even though it is UI3, they are fixed on (constrained on) sides and top and bottom. I really love the new UI3 look, really frustrated that I could not see it in my interface. 😥

Fill vector with different colors

I created a vector (on the left) from a picture (on the right). I’m wondering how to fill different parts of the figure with different colors? And related question: Left hand of Shmebulock is splitted from the arm with a narrow line. When I tried change width for path segment only the whole path is changed. So, my goal is to fill gaps with different colors and to have some of segment narrow.

Changing Variables from Library to be Different Values in Current File

Is there a way to substitute the values of inherited variables from other files in my library? For instance, I want to have the color variable “Error” be #ff4040 in master file while having that very same variable be #F02090 in a different file I’m working on- Additionally that variable is being used in various asset instances that I call from the master file. So, if I inserted an asset component with “Error”(#ff4040) background color from my library, it would have #f02090 as its background in the current file.

Pushing text changes to instances of a component that uses nested components

I have a menu component that is built from instances of a link component. The link component has the usual variants (default, selected, etc). I’m using instances of the menu component across the page in different views. In each view I have applied the selected state to a different link. When I update the copy of the links in the menu component it gets updated in the instances BUT not for the links for which I have applied the selected state previously. In order to update the copy for all instances I need to reset all changes for the instances and then apply the selected states again. What am I missing, why don’t the text updates get pushed to the nested instances?

Why in the prototype I am unable to see the updated value of an instance, it still by default showing me original value that was declared in the main component?

I have been working on a Dropdown Component, this component has been made by combining multiple Dropdown Item Component. After prototyping and declaring this new component, the bug I am facing is when I use an instance of it and update values as per the requirement, for example a dropdown is for colors - Red, Blue, Green, then dropdown header would be Select Colors, clicking over it, dropdown would expand and show items - Red, Blue, Green, now if user has selected Blue from Menu, dropdown will collapse and dropdown header would change to Blue as that item has been selected, but in prototype when I select any item the header text doesn’t change it shows me the default value that I declared in the original component The instance only works smoothly if I don’t update values.

Exceeding Memory Usage

Hey, I’ve got an issue with one of my projects regarding exceeding memory usage and I’ve been trying to use components as much as I can to reduce the file size but it’s not helping! I’ve been following the same logic for years now and haven’t seen this issue before. Is there a way of fixing this? What should I do?

How to add interactions when changing variants via variable modes?

Hey, we are working on a quite complex prototype at the moment and stumbled upon a issue with variable modes and component variants. Ill try to break it down as best as I can: In our product users have the option to link an account to reveal additional links that arent visible initially. To achieve that, we build several components with 2 variants distinguishable with a boolean “linked”. In our prototype we switch between this linked-status via a variable mode. So a user can go through the linking process and said components change from “linked=false” to “linked=true” to reveal additional options. This works without a problem and the UI changes as expected. But now we run into the issue how to further link the now shown options. When we change the variable mode globally to “linked” we gain access to the additional options and can give them navigation interactions. But these given interactions wont work when switching the mode dynamically in the prototype. Here is image for more contex

Asset Search is Completely Broken AGAIN

It just doesn’t return results. Generally, Figma been running sooooo slow. Constantly needing to reload pages/files each time you focus on the file… Then there are the conectivity issues (failing to save to cloud)… What a mess.

Swipe (actually drag) interaction is way below par on an actual device

We are using an ‘on drag’ (as there is still no ‘swipe’) interaction to emulate a carousel of cards. Pretty standard stuff. Works great on desktop and on mobile view on a desktop, but when viewed on an actual mobile devices it is really unstable. We carry out user testing with real users on real devices and this needs to work much better as it makes our prototypes un testable. Is there anything in the roadmap to improve this feature? Thanks!
