Solved

I’m working in Figma slides, I have tried web and desktop but the problem persists.I am in Design Mode and have the move tool selected and Fixed Size text box, however it scales proportionally, including the text inside. I just want to resize the box. It’s like I’m stuck in the scale tool somehow. I have restarted and still like this. The same for exisitng and new text boxes.

I can’t create a color variables with existing in library color styles, they won’t appear in the list.As you see I have color styles in the file but they are not visible in variables menuMaybe I’m missing something?

Hi all.Please give me more details on the t parameter of the URL.     ※ https://www.figma.com/design/{file key}/[file name]?node-id={node id}&t={???} Please let me know if you have a page with an explanation. 

When I’m adding a new text property to a component which is nested inside another one the new text property content resets to the default when filled in, in the variant. All text properties are connected and have the same naming. IT is not happening to already existing components, but if I add a new text property to an existing component only the already existed ones will work.

Hi! It’s my first topic here :)I have a question about figma and it’s system requirements because I plan on investing into a new PC (windows) and I want to ensure it’s future proof and the specs I pick fit Figma’s needs.My current pain point is that I see a ton of lag on a 16GB RAM PC with moderate-level CPU. It’s a $800 type of budget pc that is 2 years old.And I need to know basically the following: On a 4k screen, to keep figma smoothly running with large files (50+ components, 20+ frames per page, 100+ variables etc) what do I need:Minimim RAM for smooth running; Is 64GB plenty even for the next 5 years of updates and features? What in the CPU does figma care about What in the GPU does figma care about, to what extend? Is it VRAM? Is there anything else?Of course I understand about keeping drivers up to date, working on the desktop app and so on.Thank you!

I’ve already fixed typo of a color style variable name from Bg-Reverse-A00 to Bg-Reverse-A100 But still got old JSON data:```bash curl -H "X-Figma-Token: <my-token>" "https://api.figma.com/v1/files/<my-file-id>/styles"``` I tried to suffix the URL with “?timestamp=random_number” but still got the same old data.

Where can I find information on how to “Prepare for Variants guide”?This Figma link is broken:https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055471353-Prepare-for-VariantsI came across above link from this page: https://www.figma.com/best-practices/creating-and-organizing-variants/

Hello,When prototyping, the top of my frame is hidden behind the phones camera (see picture). Is there a way to avoid this from happening or do I have make my top bars lower? Would be so appriciated if someone could help me.Wishing you a great day!Kind regards,Jacob

I support faculty staff and students at our university, so I would like to apply for the education plan as an administrator.  I do not teach, so I do not have a syllabus.  The form is not allowing me to submit the form unless I attach a syllabus.  The form gives you the option to apply as an administrator, but administrators do not a syllabus.  How should I apply?   Thanks, Aaron

I educate classes in Figma and before the summer they could apply for an education plan using their private e-mails. Since they’ll be graduating it’s better if they keep everything on the account that they’ll be using later on - after school. But now it asks for a school mail, is there any way around this now?

I prefer to use a limited design where I can see fonts, colors, size and so on. It seems that I have changed my settings and now “Prottype” TAB is installed…. I woud like to go back to previous settings - to “Properties type”. 

As it’s shown in the attachments, when there is arrows from box to box in FigJam, and each arrow is in different color, the top one show both sides as related to it although each arrow is a regular one with one side of head

Good afternoon, I’ve been working on this UI kit I downloaded for a few hours, and I just relised then that along the way something has occured that has caused these strange stripes running vertically down each frame. The colour itself does look to be one of my colour varients, however I have no idea how this has occured. Can anyone assist in helping me get rid if this?

When I create new variant properties, or new text styles, the newest addition will land at the bottom of the dropdown list in the right hand pane. Is there a way to reorganise these?

The tool appeared with all my acquaintances of designers, but I do not have it. How long to wait? He submitted an application to Beta. Updates are set by the latter

Hello! I have noticed recently that WebGL seems to crash when doing simple tasks in Figma, to the point that it is unusable. Figma used to work fine for me a couple of days ago, and now doing simple things such as using the color picker, moving an object slightly, zooming in on very simple files seems to make the screen black out, and WebGL will fail to load for about a minute after that. I have never had this problem until a couple of days ago, this makes me suspicious this bug was introduced in an update. I have tried clearing the website cookies, enabling override software rendering list and this has unfortunately not fixed the issue on my end. Please fix this major problem soon! Operating System & Browser: ChromeOS 132CPU: Intel Celeron N5100 

Does anyone have Figma Tax Residency Certificate for 2024 and 2025? How can I get one? I need it to avoid double taxation. 

I am an admin on a paid subscription and have given a user in my team Full Seat access for FigJam. Now he’s trying to edit a FigJam file created by me, but he needs to send a request for edit. Why? He has a full seat and I don’t understand why he cannot edit or even create a new FigJam file. Any ideas?

Hi there, I’m seeing a sudden uptick in error responses to the Figma REST api on the get files endpoint, with the error message. There’s no recent changes in our use of the endpoint, has anything updated on the figma side that would explain this?

Hi,I see many people have had the same problem as I’m currently experiencing. I use Figma for private things, such as creating a wedding invite in October 2024. When I logged into Figma now, both the wedding invite and another project from the same time is completely gone. There is no trace of them neither in the Trash nor anywhere else. I don't have a "Drafts to move" option. I have not been prompted to upgrade my account or anything else, and since this is 4 months ago I also don't have the links to the projects because Chrome doesn't store history that far back. Can you please help me restore my projects? They were called “Bröllopsinbjudan” and something like “CV 2024” or similar.

Sometimes cmd-c just doesn’t do anything. I have to right-click and select Copy from the context menu.Sometimes it works, I have not so far found logic to it. The recent Figma update did not fix this. (I’m using the latest Mac build.)This happens MANY times every day, and as I’m sure you can understand, is very annoying and slows down my work.

Hi there! After the latest update, I can’t resize autolayouts and boxes anymore (see video). The resize handle doesn’t become available - I can sometimes get the handle it if I am very very slow and patient. In the video I end up moving the box, not resizing it. Pretty basic thing to be able to resize stuff! And pretty devastating! (I also still have occasional problems with zooming in with my MacBook Pro trackpad). Has someone found a way to fix this? Is there a better way to report this bug? Specs: macOS Monterey 12.4 Figma Desktop App version 116.0.5

Hello!Does anyone know what the "VALUE" tag is, how to do it and what it's for?Thanks!  

I understand that Figma isn't specifically designed for this, but I’ve created a scrolling carousel of images. I did this by making a component and adding an interaction in the prototype menu. I want to use this for social media, but I'm unable to export it as a .mp4 file.Is there any solution for this problem apart from Screen Recording?
