Question

i have problem with measure selection figma/ It does not work

Hello Figma Support Team,

The core feature for measuring distances between objects by holding the Alt  key has suddenly stopped working for me.

This happened unexpectedly in the middle of my work. The measurement guides (redlines) no longer appear when I select an object, hold Alt, and hover over another element.

I have already performed the following troubleshooting steps without success:

  • Restarted my computer.

  • Reinstalled the Figma desktop app.

  • Tested this in both existing and brand new files (the issue occurs everywhere).

  • Tested in the browser version of Figma, and the issue persists there as well.

None of these steps have resolved the problem. Could you please look into this?

Thank you.

    Hi there, thank you for flagging this!

    As you may have already noticed, our engineering team has released a fix for this issue. Could you refresh your tab and try the shortcut again to see if it’s working?


    Thanks again for bringing this to our attention, and for your patience while we worked on the fix!
