I posted this wish in comments back in 2022 and 2023. Am I the only one that wants a nice elegant curved arrow option for the connectors? 🙂 It makes diagrams look so much friendlier and aesthetically pleasing, instead of orthogonal curves, straight lines or angled straight lines. Thanks all! Ben

Hey Figma team,I wanted to report a problem that’s been bugging our team for the past few months. We have an Icon Library in our design system, as well as a separate glyph library. These icons are used in different sizes across the product (16px, 24px, etc.). The master components of each icon and glyph contain elements which are all set to ‘scale’.However, within our larger components, whenever we want to swap an instance of an icon with a different one from our library, the scaling (of dimensions, stroke width, and border radius) is not properly applied, resulting in a broken view. One example is:We have a nested icon component scaled to 16x16px; We replace the instance with another icon from either library (original component of which is 24x24 but all elements set to scale) and expect it to scale properly to the 16x16 dimensions. However, the swapped icon appears broken in terms of the scale of elements inside, stroke width and border radius; We have to resort to a workaround like:

I’m sending a get_code request to the Figma MCP server via Cursor AI.Here is the request body I’m using:{ "nodeId": "XXXX:XXXX", "clientLanguages": "kotlin", "clientFrameworks": "android,compose", "clientName": "cursor" } However, the response I receive is in JSX (JavaScript XML) format with Tailwind CSS classes, not Kotlin.I would expect either Kotlin code (Jetpack Compose) or at least a clean JSON representation of the selected frame.Question:How can I retrieve Kotlin code or a raw JSON object for the selected frame?

Ai suggestions are turned off in the menubut I’m still getting this every time I copy and paste a text frame 

I cannot connect GitHub from a Figma Make template. The error I get is like the following. How do I fix? It is quite frustrating.  

In Figma, I can create a color variable like Primary/500,but there's no way to create another variable that links to Primary/500 with just a different opacity (e.g., 50%).This becomes a problem when I change the base color — I have to manually update every opacity variation, which is time-consuming and breaks the idea of dynamic design systems.🔧 Feature Request:Allow opacity to be applied on top of existing variables when creating new ones.

Optimize existing functionality to allow direct conversion of existing components into Figma-compliant component-based design source files via screenshots. The current application implements basic functionality, but the output has two main problems: 1) the generated SVG format files do not retain component structure; 2) the official Figma API does not seem to support direct component creation. Please improve the solution to achieve true component-based output while maintaining the existing category layer functionality. 

I need to cancel my ticket and would like to get a refund, but any time I try to start a chat I don’t get the right topic or resolution. Who should I contact/how can I complete the cancellation?

 I need to do regular bookkeeping throughout the year. Yes, I am in the EU which cares about and requires reciepts for bookkeping.Modern bookeeping platforms in the EU needs reciepts as email attachments to be automatically filed in the customers bookkeeping.Stripe doesn’t seem to support that by default at least for various reasons. This is a struggle as a customer.But I know that the American company livekit.io is an example of SaaS that attaches the reciept as PDF on sendout. Could you at least have it as an opt-in option in the Billing settings please?Thank you,  

My account is unable to update plugins because I changed the two-step verification process. The account is this email address. Please help me resolve this. The plugin name is iconcraftpro.

I’ve been in contact with a salesperson and have sent several emails and messages. I would like to talk about the plans that Figma offers.

I am facing a recurring technical issue while managing collaborators in a Figma file.Issue description: I add 3–4 collaborators to a Figma file (a mix of Can view and Can edit access). Later, I remove all collaborators one by one. After removing everyone, I change the share setting from “Anyone with the link” to “Invited only.” When I close the Share pop-up, a confirmation dialog appears again asking me to remove the last person I already removed. When I click Remove, the main Share pop-up opens again. As soon as I close it, the same “Remove collaborator” pop-up appears again. This creates an infinite loop, and the issue does not stop unless I completely close the Figma tab and reopen it.Expected behavior:Once a collaborator is removed and the share setting is updated to Invited only, no additional removal pop-ups should appear.Temporary workaround:Closing and reopening the browser tab fixes the issue temporarily.Please let me know if you need any additional details, screen r

The latest Figma update broke my components. Button hover states all messed up. Prototypes showing weird flickering.

Hi!My team has noticed an odd behavior. We share prototype links with clients and internal stakeholders all the time and have been moving designs between pages and the URL’s we’ve shared have been linking to the correct design for a while now. Our workflow for a specific client is to have designs on a page for internal review, and once internally approved move the design to another page for external review with client. We use the move to feature to keep the comments and linking like it should be doing. We’ve noticed if we share the link via the prototype (play and then click the share button) the link resolved when the design has been moved to the other page. However if we copy the link from the flows panel under the prototype tab - the link breaks most of the time.  In looking at the URL from each way to share the prototype they product different URL links. Sharing directly from the prototype gives a URL that includes Page-id and node-id. Sharing from the flows sidebar under the proto

When I use find and replace, the text I use for replacement always gets the first letter capitalized. Example below:Find: “sample text”replace: “example content”“This is the paragraph with the sample text.” will get updated to “This is the paragraph with the Example content.”The typography style is set as “Case: As typed” Is this a bug or is there a different reason this is happening?

SVG is often treated as a simple export format — click “Export as SVG” and move on.In reality, SVG quality depends heavily on how the vector is generated, especially when starting from raster images like PNG or JPG.Over the last months, while working on SVG conversion workflows, I noticed a few recurring issues that designers and developers run into.1. Why raster-to-SVG conversions often look badMost automatic converters try to trace everything: noise gradients shadows anti-aliased edges This results in: overly complex paths huge file sizes SVGs that are hard to edit in Figma The key insight: clean input matters more than the tracing algorithm itself.2. Pre-processing before vectorizationBefore converting to SVG, it helps to: remove backgrounds increase contrast simplify colors isolate the main shapes Even basic cleanup dramatically improves path quality and makes the final SVG easier to edit or animate.3. Optimizing SVGs for real useA usable SVG is not just visually co

When publishing a library, I would like an option to shows all nested elements at the top level. OR even better, when in a Figma file when working in the ‘Assets’ tab, I’d like an option in the grid view (in addition to the grid / list) which allows all elements to be displayed on the top level and not display them as nested items.I realize when publishing I can put all elements on the same page in a file and then I will have no nested items for the users in authoring when trying to pull in components. However, this makes the page too massive to work with. I have to break up the pages but when published, this make nested items which I don’t want. I want everything displayed on the top level as its SO MUCH faster for designers to easily pull in components/elements when they don’t constantly have to go back and forth between levels to find the components they need.

Multiple times per week I go to hit CMD + A or CMD + W in regular use and accidentally quit everything. Maybe some people like being able to quit quickly but it’d be nice to have an option to turn on a “Hold CMD + Q to Quit” blocker like Chrome has. Or just a confirmation to quit. 

When marking a comment as resolved, we are now automatically moved to the next one. I’m wondering if or how we can disable this behaviour?My work flow being to go from screen to screen of user flows, and not comments to comments, this is very disrupting as it can bring me anywhere in the file, and I need to find and navigate back to where I was. I understand this might be useful for reviewers that only goes through questions left by other people, but this probably not most users, so it would be useful to have the ability to disable this feature.

I would like to use Figma Make to prompt the creation of slides that I can use for a presentation. Usually what is first generates is in the right direction, but I want to be able to then edit directly on the slides (i.e. without vibe coding). Is that possible? If so, do I need to move it into Slides first? How do I do that? Thanks! 

Just discovered the “Templates and tools” tab and was excited to see if my team could migrate our design file templates to actual Templates. However to my disappointment, Figma seems to only offer this feature for Figjam and Figma Slides.My team uses design file templates to keep our work organized in a consistent way within each file. Right now our process requires having a “Template file” and manually duplicating it whenever we want to set up a new file for a new project. It would be nice if these could be built in Templates that we could access upon creating a new file instead of needing to navigate to the template file and duplicate it. 

WHY CAN’T I ZOOM INTO WHAT’S SELECTED? CTRL+K, NOPE, IT’S GONE. I’M NOT LOOKING FOR SHIFT+2. IF YOU WORK AT FIGMA AND YOU’RE READING THIS: I’VE BEEN A DIEHARD SINCE 2016, WHICH MATTERS NOTHING, BUT I HATE EVERY THING YOU’RE DOING TO THIS SOFTWARE.

The After Delay interaction has suddenly stopped working in all of my Figma projects. It fails to trigger in any file, including existing ones where it previously worked.This issue does not affect other teammates, even in projects that use the same design system within the same organization.I have already tried: Clearing cache and restarting Figma Reopening files and duplicating them Reapplying the interaction Following common suggestions found online and in forum threads So far, none of these steps resolved the issue.Is this a known bug, account-specific issue, or environment-related problem? Are there any additional troubleshooting steps or diagnostics I should try?

I’ve been doing a form mockup using the Atlassian Design system, and I’ve encountered the following error when viewing it as a prototype, involving the drop down menu element.The field looks normal before hovering over it.It shrinks to this width when I hover.It returns to the correct width when clicking, but the text in the field defaults back to the default text that the component has when you first place it.I’ve tried switching the states to define the width as “Fill” for each of them, but it doesn’t carry over to the prototype view. I’m also have the same width issue with date picker fields when hovering over the as well.Is there any way to correct this?
