🎉 Welcome to the Figma Forum! 🚀
👋 Welcome to Biscuit Design Challenge Season #2! It has been some time since the release of Auto-layout version 3, and I am sure you all are pretty familiar with it and want to try out its limits. Well, today, I have four practical scenarios for you to tackle. All of which are frequent use cases from my personal experience. Each challenge has specific criteria you need to meet to succeed. Beyond that, you can design them however you want. There is also a video example for each challenge showcasing my best implementation for them so far, but yours can be utterly different as long as it solves the same problem. These challenges are meant to improve your Figma skills, learn from other lovely Figmates and grow together as a community. No code or plugin, or external software is required for any of these challenges. How to participate? Please respond with a video recording of your best practices to each challenge; they can be incremental as you will get more inspiration the more you
Hello, As per figma · Figma Developers documentation, Only private plugins have access to this. So what does private plugin means? Can it be accessible through anyone publicly or it is restricted to specific organisation? Or is it related to paid plugin? Please advice. Thanks!
So I’m making my own plugin and I would like to put my own image like anima does here, but I don’t think I’m doing it correctly, can somebody help me plz?
Hi, I made a MacBook Pro landing page with a width of 4327 pixels. And when I export it as a huge PFD file - about 50 MB does anyone know how I can reduce the weight in the Figma? Without having to rebuild everything
I can’t tag folks in comments who are part of the project (They only have right to view and comment) Sometimes it can, mostly can not… Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks!
Would love the ability to basically create just random boxes for things, not just ellipses. It’s really helpful when organizing a file for others
Hello I asked to register as beta tester to have access to variant interactions. How much time does it take to have an answer? Will I receive an email of confirmation? How can I see the difference in the app or webapp? Need I turn something on? Thank you
I sent the request to get Beta 3 times. But I couldn’t get it. I’m feeling disappointed
Hello! I’m currently writing a plugin that’ll retrieve and post font values to my UI. It’ll also use this value within another script written within my ui.html document. The problem however is that I’m getting NaN values once I try to use these values within another script. Here’s the code snippet for my UI.HTML file: <c id = "count"></c> <script> //Get Font Value from JS file onmessage = (event) => { //Pass to innerHTML document.getElementById("count").innerHTML = event.data.pluginMessage; console.log(event.data.pluginMessage); } </script> <script> //Begin TensorFlow Block async function learnLinear(){ const fontSize = document.getElementById("count").innerHTML; const parsed = parseInt (fontSize); const model = tf.sequential(); model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [1]})); const learningRate = 0.0001; const optimizer = tf.train.sgd(learningRate); model.compile({ loss: 'meanSquaredError', optimizer:'sgd'
Isn’t this abnormal ? It seems I cannot do the same programmatically and so I cannot draw my second arrow by formula symetry as It would only give one position (the bad one in red) whereas I want the other positioning (in green).
Hi is it possible to set debugging breakpoint inside plugin sandbox code? I managed to do this inside UI code but it seems not to work inside sandbox code…
Hello world, I’m setting up a design system in Figma for which I have a library named “core”. Here are all the components which are equal for web, iOS and Android. Coming from Sketch I did the same. In addition, I had for Web, iOS and Android a separate file which had components only for their specific usage. So that designers use only components which they are allowed to (for example iOS only). In Figma, it seems like that everything is inside one file … is that right? I tried to separate them, but even if I’m not switching on the core library, I still can see and use components in their … Is there a good explain tutorial or structure for this? I really appreciate your advices and help 🙏 Thanks in advance 👐
Not a wizard with code, and I’m essentially hacking an existing plugin that we have that changes styles from dark to light theme. Currently, the plug-in swaps theming/styles for ALL objects in the current page using: Figma.currentpage.findall() It swaps styles for basic objects, to complex components, frames, etc everything and walks thru all the child objects - that is all good. I want it to work on the current selection , so I changed the code to: Figma.currentpage.selection This works, but ONLY for parent objects - circles, squares, frame background colours, but nothing nested - does not work on objects within groups, within frames or components. I “think” this is related to what the selection returns and how it is organized compared to what findall returns? The rest of the function works fine and steps thru findall, but doesn’t iterate through child objects. Probably a very elementary question, but any help would be great. Thanks, -damian
I got a problem with one of my files, I can’t fully load the file and a prompt “This file has unsaved changes.” shows up at the bottom. I am online and connected to the internet. and other files I have loads, but not this particular one. before this problem I already see that Figma sometimes says I’m not online and that my files will be sync once I’m online. but I’ve always. been working with Figma online. anybody has a solution?
1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? Help!!! My figjam file can not open, all my other files works great instead of this one. 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? Double click this file, then just stuck at a loading screen. 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? Both desktop and browser can not open. 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using? Mac BigSur 11.3.1
Hello , i am a big fan of figma i use it since one year, before it was possible to write arabic but with some plugins help like “RTL arabic” , but figma doesnt even show the Arabic letters ! , any one had the same issue please ? Thanks
Hi, I revoke my personal access token in mistake… How should I do to recover it? There’s also no Create button on UI. Thanks!
I need to get a image (for a html img-tag) from a frame-node. My code looks like const paint = frameNode.fills[0]; const image = figma.getImageByHash(paint.imageHash); const bytes = await image.getBytesAsync(); The paint object has no property imageHash. So I get Expected "getImageByHash" to have type string but got undefined instead as error message. I tried to follow the example as described in Working with Images · Figma Developers. Also figma · Figma Developers does not tell how to get the correct hash. Is there any way to use this for a frame-node?
Question: Is there any way to update a property of a layer of Figma file (such as position or size etc) through a network request or REST api? What I am trying to do: Before accessing image URL of a layer I would like to change “isMask” property of the layer though a web call. I use following to get JSON node of a layer curl -H ‘X-FIGMA-TOKEN: USER_TOKEN’ ‘https://api.figma.com/v1/files/r8ZxK00DJJCTX6DfMybDhx?ids=0%3A1’ and following for getting images: curl -H ‘X-FIGMA-TOKEN: USER_TOKEN’ ‘https://api.figma.com/v1/images/r8ZxK00DJJCTX6DfMybDhx?ids=0%3A1’ Looking for a similar way to send data back to Figma Thank you
I managed to somehow turn off the visibility of slices. Don’t ask me how, but I did. The slices still exist on the page (I can find them in the layer panel and I can select them by dragging a select box over their edge) but I don’t see the dashed outline. It’s not file based, because my co-workers do see the slices.
Hello Figma Friends, hope you can help me! I need to rotate a guide, I remember doing it (maybe? : )) but cannot remember how I did it. Is this possible? If yes, how do I do it? Thanks!
Is it possible to remove a childNode of an instanceNode by calling remove method on the node. E.g. component node(with id 1:1) which has a child node (with id 1:2) instance node (with id 1:3) which has a child node (with id I1:3;1:2) Whether calling figma.getNodeById('1:2').remove() or figma.getNodeById('I1:3;1:2').remove() both resulting in Uncaught Error: in remove: Removing this node is not allowed. However, toggling visibility works fine.
Is it possible to change update notes for each version of an already published plugin?
As per title, since Figma is not allowing to set manually auto-layout for selected variants (multiple variant selection across different components) is it possible to set auto-layout property via plugin api?
