The Annotation and Comment tools have their own cursors, but the Measure tool is the same as the default cursor (Move tool).I cannot count how many times I was confused and frustrated why I couldn’t move or edit an element, only to find out I was still using the Measure tool instead of the Move tool.Please give the Measure tool its own unique cursor!

Sometimes you need to be explicit when calling out a measurement where two elements are touching each other. The current dev mode measure tool does not allow you to explicitly measure a distance of 0. This is a required measurement for proper dev handoff and keeps us from using this feature.

After using the make-layer feature in Figma sites, I have created a component that I would like to use within my DS-kit. The fact is this component do not appear when searching for it on the library.E.g., I have a layout component for a responsive grid. This layout have placeholders inside as it’s generic and it must be flexible so we can add in it any other component (images if we want to create a gallery, cards if we aim for a summary section, etc)When using layer-make to build smart components those SHOULD be findable in our DS-gallery so we can set properties ‘swap instance’ and use those inside generic-placeholders’ ones.

Polygons and stars are currently drawn off-centre: there’s noticeable extra whitespace at the bottom of the frame while the top edge almost touches the bounding box. When we depend on precise alignment, auto-layout, design tokens, or plugin-driven positioning this uneven padding forces messy work-arounds.Flattening the shape fixes the offset, but that breaks scalability and makes later edits harder. A small change would solve it: Draw polygons and stars truly centered within their frames or Expose a simple “internal padding” control so we can zero-out that bottom margin. Either option would make these shapes far more dependable for automated and component-based workflows.

I use the same page color for all of my projects. For consistency, it would be great to be able to just add the color with a variable and not have change the color for each new project.

I’d love to suggest a small but potentially powerful feature:a local clipboard panel inside the canvas.Think of it as a lightweight, always-visible spot where I can quickly drag elements I create during a session and reuse them throughout the file — like a mini asset shelf, but temporary and personal.🎯 Use case:While working on complex screens, I often create utility elements (buttons, arrows, highlights, etc.) that I need to reuse across multiple frames. Right now I either copy-paste from frame to frame or scroll back and forth.With a built-in clipboard panel, I could drop those elements in one place and simply drag them out when needed.That would seriously reduce navigation time and context switching — especially on large-scale design systems or messy exploratory files.Attaching a quick visual mockup of the idea for clarity.Would love to hear what you think!  

Hi, facing preview issue in figma sites. Below is the preview screenshot which is totally different from what I created. Logo on top is broken, it was originally positioned on the left, and fonts are not appearing with the same properties as used in design.  

I’m migrating from adobe to figma for all my design stuff and I thought I loved figma until I tried to redesign one of my clients logos and I found out there are isn’t glyphs panel for your fonts. I know there is a plugin that has built in glyphs but they aren’t useful for making logos. I feel like this is a huge deal breaker for me because I can’t use fonts how they were intended. After doing research there are many others who want this to be a feature from years back and it definitely got overlooked by the Figma Devs. I would really like to be able to use figma because I like the features and UI of the software. but if I can’t make the designs I want in it there is no point of even using it. I understand it’s mainly for making vectors and web design but so many graphic designers use it everday! This is my petition for adding this feature into figma, if you agree reply to this post please so can make a difference

I’m frustrated with the forced centering in the bounding box of images when they are placed.Obviously, for a responsive design, the image is going to be seen vertically & horizontally at the same time depending on the device. This has been super annoying because I’d expect to have an anchoring/alignment positioning for the image so that I can keep the focus where I want it to be for each of its uses. I have all these useless editing options, but no “Top/Bottom Left”, “Top/Bottom Right”, “Top/Bottom Center” options. Just the default “Centered” which cuts off peoples faces or eliminates the focal point on anything that’s not dead center. PLEASE ADD THIS.

I found out I couldn't a while ago, and I apologize to the owners of Figma.I apologize if the chosen category is wrong, I think it is not the right option for my case.

Would love the option to be able add my own AI API Key or be able to incorporate Claude AI features in the Figma Make prototypes. For example, to generate text.

Could you make the height of the each content HUG (like following the largest size) instead of FIX? I'm so frustrated counting the fix height everytime I used this feature 

I would love for there to be a new mode, aside from Design and FigJam for a proper Diagramming tool, similar to Draw.io but better and within a single software. Currently I use Draw.io for UI designs, and Draw.io for UML/Design Diagrams. These become very complex, so do not suggest we use FigJam which in comparison to Draw.io, is a child’s toy. Would love to see what Figma cooks up for this sort of tool, as I really like your design ethos in general. Draw.io has a number of issues which I’m sure you could resolve.

I wanted to check if whether Figma is planning to launch an official MCP server designed for use with Claude—similar to the existing one available with CursorThanks

Sites is awesome!  Even when there are not so much default interaction animations, code layers compensate it. I would suggest to be able to set id on layers just like the html tag , so that code layers could interact with other elements. 

Hey ! I’d like to know if there is any chance to have a vertical marquee effect on Figma Site in the next weeks ? Well, great to have the two horizontal options, but our sites need rythm with variety of directions !  

I think the idea for figma sites is great! However there is some issues I am having. There is no way to connect a backend DB to the site that I have seen. I want to make my site password protected so have made a login system and Figma Make has created an authentication for it which is great and works, but if you type /home in the address bar it takes you into the site bypassing authentication.  The second issue is that there is no way to access the files behind the site. You can use figma make to code components which is cool, but trying to make a site-wide search bar isn't working because the code can't seem to go across pages so can only search things on that page which is pretty pointless. We need Figma Make that has access to all of the sites pages for better context. Another issue is that it's hard to redesign something once it has been coded in Make. If you design something and send it to Make then Make creates an image instead of SVG so it doesn't look great. But also means you

Context and ProblemFigma's current Instance Swap Override is a useful feature for swapping singular instances within a component. However, it becomes cumbersome and time-consuming when applied to more complex design patterns, such as:Managing dynamic content for cards, sidebars, and templates. Creating unique combinations of content within reusable components.Currently, designers must create a new component for each unique content combination, which leads to bloated libraries, repetitive work, and a loss of efficiency. This approach also lacks flexibility for managing dynamic layouts, which are more naturally represented in code through structures like parent-child relationships in HTML or Children props in React.Proposed Feature: Component "Child" or "Slot" OverrideIntroduce a new override type, referred to as "Child" or "Slot," allowing component creators to define designated areas within a component where users can **drag and drop any content**. This feature would streamline the wor

I can't believe Figma is forcing this change on us. UI3 is, without a doubt, the most unfriendly design possible. It has made my workflow painfully slow and incredibly unproductive. What’s the harm in letting people CHOOSE which UI works best for them?I always thought switching to UI3 was a HUGE mistake, but I never felt the need to comment on it because UI2 was still an option. Now that you're FORCING this change, I have to speak up.This is NOT an upgrade. It’s a downgrade in usability, efficiency, and user experience. Figma was supposed to be about flexibility and user-centered design—so why ignore the feedback of those who actually use the platform every day?Give us back the choice. Let people stick to UI2 if they want. This forced migration is a slap in the face to long-time users who built their workflow around UI2.

Hello, I used Figma site a lo recently and here are some feedback :The requirement to use a subdomain is quite restrictive. For example, if I'm forced to deploy my site on www.domain.com, I also need to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com to avoid users being blocked or unable to find the site when simply typing domain.com. This redirection then has to be set up manually on the server side, whether through a .htaccess file or an Nginx or Apache configuration. I have the technical skills to do this — it's my job — so it didn’t take me long. But it's far from accessible for someone who isn't a developer. In my case, the simplest solution would have been to host the site directly on domain.com. Dynamic components (e.g : carousel) which have breakpoint variants do not adapt responsively to the screen size. This cause major interface problems. The problem is not observed for static components. Buttons do not have focus states (interactions) which is highly problematic ATM for designing we

I love that with the add-on I can better integrate figma designs to google workspace. It woul be awesome if the chip conversion would also work for google sheets currently its just a link, even if the add-on is installed.  I would love to have it like in google docs: 

In my project, a primary color variable needs to be used with different opacity levels to represent various states. Unfortunately, variables that reference the primary color variable cannot have their opacity adjusted individually unless the alias is detached first. This significantly affects color consistency across the project. I hope a separate opacity setting can be added.  

To add an out animation for an object in Figma slides, I have to create a new slide. Plus, let me trigger the object animation after I change my slide. I don’t want to double-click if I have both a slide transition and an object animation.

Is it possible to change the units on the ruler without a plugin? If so would love to learn how! Trying to make a research poster on Figma, and finding it difficult to confirm that the scale is correct in inches.

I'd like to suggest being able to select different colours for different measurements, for instance blue for 8px, pink for 16 px, so on and so forth. It's easier to standardize my designs, and to help people quickly get the different paddings and margins. Thank you 🙂
