I create a dropdownlistbox with textproperties, so i could easly change the values. But i want to use the equal sign (=) between text, example: level 1 = pupil level 2 = aspirant level 3 = junior when i press the “=” in a textproperty it shown directly the “variable panel” how can i escape this?
I have a strange problem with Figma’s professional plan billing. He wants me to pay 40$ for 1 seat, telling me I have two. I tried to shift “full” role to “read” to guess what’s going on. Tried to reboot figma and to open on another laptop. Nothing happened. Figma don’t allow me to shift “view” role to “full” despite the fact that I’m the admin of the project I billing. Can it be because of my customer who came once to my project as an editor? I turned him into reader now, but cost didn’t change. Please help me solve this problem, pay for 1 seat and have edit role to my files again
I’m struggling with the topic of variants vs. booleans in relation to memory usage of hidden layers with the latter solution. The best answer on the most detailed thread I found about this being almost 3 years old, I wonder if there have been any news about this. I’m currently designing several products that heavily rely on tables. These tables are built using different sizes (sm, md, lg) of table cells. Each cell contains a “Content” nested component, with variants for a dozen content types (text, icon, button, ranking stars, etc.). Some of these content types rely on base components with dozens of variants (e.g., a Text element with configurations such as Title, Title + Subtitle, Title + Subtitle + Icon, Body, Body + Subtitle, etc.). The reason I’m using such a deep nesting of components is to allow for easier updates across all tables in the future. However, I’m concerned about performance, as changing some subcomponents already takes a while due to the number of instances being upd
Considering that document.execCommand is deprecated, what would the best way to write to the system clipboard within a custom plugin? Right now, it’s a bit hacky where one can create a temporary HTML UI, set elements like textarea with the intended value to copy, then use document.execCommand. That will likely not be supported in the future, so ideally there’d be a nice and secure way to work with the system clipboard through a Figma API.
Hi Figma team, I’d love to request a feature that allows designers to simulate browser zoom behavior (e.g., 90%, 100%, 110%, 125%, 150%) either in the file editor or the frame preview window when a specific frame is selected. 🔍 What I’m Looking For I’d like to be able to press Ctrl + Plus (or minus) while editing a frame and see the contents scale like they would in an actual browser zoom, without having to: Use the K Scale tool (which permanently resizes elements), Or manually simulate responsiveness with constraints and resizing the frame width. This would be incredibly helpful for quickly checking how my UI elements appear at different zoom levels — particularly for accessibility and UX tuning — without jumping in and out of preview mode or doing frame gymnastics. 📌 Suggested Implementations A toggle setting (e.g., “Enable Zoom Scaling on Selected Frame”) in the editor. A zoom dropdown in the Preview (Present) window that behaves like browser scaling rather than just canvas zoom.
I was using figma paid version for the variable feature. Then, they increased the price and also made variable feature free. So I thought to downgrade to free version and moved my 2 files from project to drafts, but it is still showing locked. Though, I can modify all these files and work on them. Why is that?
I’m looking for a solution to an issue I’ve been facing. I currently have a collection board set up to swap components based on the brand. For example, when building with Brand A, I have the components configured so designers can switch to Brand B assets, such as headers and footers, using the appearance panel. Brand A has a different icon library than Brand B. I’ve created a base component with instance swaps that target the appropriate icon library, which works great. I set up the layers in these components the same way, with the same names so that the colours are inherited when switching from Brand A to Brand B. I create an instance of Brand A icon base, connect it to the component collection board, and change the icon and colour. All works well when when I switch to Brand B via the appearance panel, the icon correctly switches to the Brand B base icon that targets the library I want, and the colour applied from Brand A are preserved. However, the issue arises when I nest these comp
A few days ago when the new measurement spec feature was rolled out I started having issues with my asset library. Out of no where I can no longer place instances of my library asset. I can find the assets in the library panel, and select the asset, but when I select ‘Insert Instance’ the asset isn’t placed on the canvas. Please help as this is very inconvenient and blocking my workflow.
Figma just added an icon to collapse all layers. A thing that has existed in keyboard commands forever. but once again...they did not provide the reverse. Ability to expand all layers. why does Figma only do anything halfway? maybe instead of focusing on things like silly “FigPals” they could work on the million half-finished shortcomings in the product? instead of a cute temporary bunny, I would like to be able to control which properties of a nested component are adjustable. but Figma is making play toys. this is what my enterprise team license is getting me.
outline stroke does weird things on a good chunk of line art. this has been broken forever and is extremely annoying. maybe fix the basic features of figma before launching an awful ui3 update that no one wants
Hello, Id like to know if there is a way to make Dev mode and Rem unit the default option for my account in figma. I have to constantly switch to those options manually each time I open a figma file, and its a bit annoying. Thanks!
Hi forum sorry for this simple question but i couldn’t find the thing i want and i am pretty new on Figma, i have created a dropdown menu and in my design i have few different places which needs listbox ( dropdownmenu) in fact, is it possible to not create another one from sctrach and just duplicate- change the list items- then go or any other suggestionsThanks in advance
Hi all 👋, I'm running into a frustrating issue and hoping others have found ways to manage this. My team built a design system for a large client that’s now being used across multiple applications and design teams. Our base typeface, for example, is Montserrat, but we’re noticing a growing number of strange visual bugs during design reviews and collaboration—text appearing broken, spacing/layout shifting subtly, font weights looking off, etc. After some digging, I suspect it’s due to different designers using different versions of Montserrat. Some may be using the variable font version from Google Fonts, others might be on an older or TTF/OTF version, and a few may have installed it from entirely different sources. This seems to create unpredictable behavior in Figma, even when the font name matches. So my questions are: Is there a way to standardize or "lock" a specific version of a font inside a Figma file or library? Can we somehow enforce or recommend a particular font download to
I have created a file containing components and styles that I would like to re-use in other files, so I published the library. When I include the library in another file, all the components etc. show up, but not the typography or color styyles. What am I missing?
I’m working on a dating app prototype for a class. When connecting nodes to certain pages, it leads to a blank white screen. I can’t figure out why. https://www.figma.com/proto/QsIONn8q8v9aAFNGs77RUN/High-Fidelity-Prototype-(Copy)?node-id=0-1&t=Ofz3Az2JI9klf0nh-1 When clicking “YES!” on the profiles, it leads to a white screen.
Hey Figma people and community, Steps to reproduce in Figma design mode: Create a section Hide the section Create a layer at a X,Y position inside where the section is The layer will be added to the section and will be invisible. Also: Create a section Hide the section Create a layer outside the section Move the layer inside where the section is Resize the layer so it is still inside the hidden section’s footprint The layer will be moved inside the section will be invisible Happens on desktop app v125.2.3 for windows 11 as well as in chrome browser Not very annoying but needs to be fixed IMO Have a nice day!
I have been playing around with variable prototyping, but sometimes when I assign a variable to a variant, I get this popup. Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it?
Hello! I’m running into an issue with drop shadows. When I export as an SVG, the drop shadows are not exporting. I have read through every forum entry I’ve found related to this and none of the suggested solutions work. I really need to get this figured out because shadows on certain elements are a key part of the branding for my company. Any help would be appreciated!
a fractional value appears in the height of an autolayer when there are more than 5 components in the autolayer. The components themselves do not have fractional values. Binding to the grid in the file is enabled. What can be the problem?
There is a layer that appears to have a linear gradient fill, but when you access the fill property through the API, the gradientStops value is empty. Unfortunately, it seems that dev mode is unable to get it either. This issue has been ongoing for a while now. Is it possible to fix it quickly?
I couldn’t find a bug report, so just in case I’m posting my own. If we create a component with ‘No’ / ‘Yes’ variants (which Figma transform automagically into boolean) and we bind variable to that it’s not working. Since it shows as a boolean we can only bind boolean variable, but when we do that the variable name is crossed out and it’s not working. I suspect it happens because Figma still treats that variant as a ‘string’. If I change variant names to something else (so it’s not transformed into boolean) and I use string variable it’s working just fine.
Currently, when using Figma’s color contrast checker, the modal closes automatically after inspecting the contrast of a single element. This behavior disrupts the workflow when checking multiple elements (like buttons with different text colors) in quick succession. To enhance productivity and streamline accessibility checks, it would be incredibly useful if the contrast checker modal could be ‘locked’ or set to stay open while navigating between design components. Why This Matters: 1. Efficiency: Reduces the repetitive task of re-opening the contrast checker, saving valuable time during design reviews. 2. Improved User Experience: Supports a more fluid and uninterrupted design process, especially when auditing UI elements for accessibility compliance. 3. Consistency: Allows designers to maintain focus when assessing multiple elements without needing to re-access the tool repeatedly. A ‘lock’ or ‘pin’ option within the color contrast checker would greatly improve accessibility evaluati
App doesn’t work on PC “Error -101” and can’t opened site or web-version. downdetector shows it doesn’t work on Ural, Russia. How fix it?
When I import a new font to my computer (mac), it will only show 1 of the font styles (usually the latest one) in Figma. I cant access any other weights or styles e.g. italic, medium etc.. Any solution for this so that all the styles and variables upload to Figma?
on macOS, shortcut key for Unlock aspect ratio is command but i don’t no on Windows this shortcut key can you help me? thinks
