Figma Make are not using my library components attached. It only picked “generic” ones. Both with “Attach design” and using a full design system library file.

Hey ​@Daniel_Leinerud, thanks for reaching out! 


To use an existing design system in Figma Make, you'll need to ensure that your designs are properly set up in frames or as components. Here are the steps you can follow:
 

  1. Ensure your design is in a frame or component: Designs you want to attach to Figma Make must be either a component or added to a frame. You can use the Frame tool to create a frame around your design if it's not already in one.
  2. Attach your design: Once your design is in a frame, you can attach it to Figma Make. For your reference, I've included a screenshot of what that area would look like (bottom left corner of a Make file). If you encounter any issues, make sure to check that your design is correctly framed.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to our best practices for attaching designs and images.
 
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
 


Daniel, I’m having the same problem. Even when I attach a design that is using the components it doesn’t work. 

 

Honestly so far it is fast to design than to use Figma Make and the code it generates is not what our design system using at all.


Hi ​@Gayani_S and team, is there a roadmap that includes the ability to replace and/or augment the initial shadcn component files? For instance, an ability to upload a ZIP of accurate component files that still use React, but aren’t shadcn.

Or is there a plan to allow for a more direct connection to design system code rather than the translation to shadcn components that currently happens when onboarding a library?
