Copy paste vectors from Rhino3D

Hello, I use Rhinoceros3D v7 for anything vector related because it’s precise, user friendly and powerfull. I’d like to copy/paste vectors from rhino to Figma so I don’t have to export/import and create a junk file everytime I want to switch from one software to the other. Currently, I need to copy in rhino, paste in Illustrator (because rhino copy indeed the vector information), copy again from illustrator and paste to Figma, so I’m able to use a vector. If I copy from Rhino and paste in Figma, I have just an image. It would be nice to copy/paste vectors from rhino to Figma directly.

UI3 Feedback: Things I prefer in UI2 to UI3

UI3 may look cool, compact, clean. But it slows down my work a lot. In my opinion, it is great to bring these back: First I want the Go to main component and Create instance swap back to always visible. They don’t have shortcut keys, and they are also hidden. I believe this is 2 of the most frequently used action in Figma. Second, Constraints is either frequently used, especially by who designs icons or illustrations. Seems like you discourage users from using it: Third, please tell me the reason why you changed Clip Content from a checkbox into a dropdown? I hate it when I have to spend 2 clicks to get to it. Or do you have a plan to add more options into this dropdown? Or just because you want somewhere to add icons before the label? Fourth, after dragging a component from this panel, it won’t disappear right away and stays occupying space on screen. Why should it stay?

Adjustable/Custom-sized Figma Slides

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

Accessibility Annotations Built In

There should be a way to add critical accessibility annotations into a Figma component… for example, icons should be able to be “tagged” whether decorative or not, add alt tags… Headers should have the ability to add the correct markup. Basically, allow for designers to add properties into their designs that are not reflected on the screen… Would be AWESOME if your AI capabilities could analyse a screen and then add accessibility annotations as well… but in the meantime… ⬆️

FigJam Open Session - Extend beyond One Day

As a designer in an IT department which is part of a large organisation, the one day limit to open sessions is too restrictive for working with ordinary users who may only need to join a workshop occasionally. The duration of the Open Session should be configurable (both edit and view) by the Editor in Professional and Enterprise Licences.

Support for more color spaces, including the ability to specify gradient interpolation method

RGB, HSL are really pretty awful color spaces to work in because they are not perceptually uniform. According to Adam Argyle, this is the year for css color: State of CSS - YouTube as support for oklab, oklch and other color spaces will be supported by major browsers. We shouldn’t need to wait for all browsers to implement this, however, before we see support in Figma as there are libraries to help with extended color space support (in fact, there are quite a few figma plugins that add lch color support, so surely the figma team could also add this to the app). Would you please consider adding support for more color spaces in your color picker? Also adding support for specifying the color space for gradients would be fantastic (Color Spaces for More Interesting Gradients | CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks)

Add a Highlighter for Text to the Type Settings

Allow us to change the background color of text (not just the text fill color) to give a highlighter effect that stays with the words that the effect is applied to even when the size/shape of the text box is changed. For example: The above shows two examples of the same ipsum (left and right) where specific words are highlighted. When the size of the text box (the left example) is changed to accommodate a responsive layout (the right example), the highlighting stays with the selected words. The way to add highlighting for the above examples could be included in the type settings pop-over: Note: the idea here is that the user can apply this to specific sets of selected characters within a text box or to the entire text box, just like how all of the other type settings already behave.

Location of Boolean Sub-component not ideal

Hello, Been wondering for huge minutes looking for a place to attach a boolean to a sub-component in a component… also saw people had such problems on the forums… found it but… OMG APPEARANCE? Come on… it should be in its Properties panel in Component Configuration! There are more examples like this - tiny things that make the workflow broken…

How to Back Up Files in Figma Organization?

I’m currently using Figma with an Organization account, and I was wondering if there’s a way to automatically back up our design files and assets that are stored on Figma. Specifically, is there an option to back up files to cloud storage, such as OneDrive or an S3 bucket? I want to ensure we have external backups of all our design assets.

Back to work -> Following yourself

Problem statement Currently, when following another designer we struggle to find our way back to the work that you are doing. It always take some brainpower to find your way back to your workflow if you work in a massive file. Idea Following back yourself. Go back to your original work by clicking on your own user. I see our team is already trying to click their own avatars, so the mental model is there.

Ability to open Figjam and Slides page in the same Figma file

Only owners/admins to grant editor status + new editor seat(s) warning

We had to migrate files across different accounts. The only way we found possible was to add the origin account as editor and transfer the files and ownership. Anything else resulted in losing edit privileges during the process. A month later, we get a notice that we owe 15$. During the interaction of adding another editor, we never got any feedback from Figma about that costing an extra 15$. Now, we got a ticket about the issue but, as usual, it delays days to be handled (another drawback that needs to be addressed). Last but not least, even the editor account that was paid for one year in advance is now locked. This is not the best way you can do this. You need to provide feedback to the users when they come across an interaction implies an additional charge (yes, even if it’s somewhere documented). Instead of suspending editors, make the add editor interaction prepaid (like it normally is when you get the first editor), so that you don’t prevent paid editors from using the service,

A setting to make new layers go downwards

Hello, I really would love a setting that would make the new layers, freshly duplicated layers, etc, appear downwards - on the bottom of the list if nothing is selected or underneath the currently selected layer. In other words, to change the general direction of layer stacking - to go from top to bottom, instead of bottom to top only, as of now. This is very logical, isn’t it? We create pages in figma and they go from top to bottom, most designs are created from top to bottom, most content flows from top to bottom. Then why do layers go freaking upwards? 😀

Ignore variable group names?

When creating tokens and working with variables Dev Mode generates code where the group name is included as part of the token name. Currently this doesn’t make too much sense (for me at least) and in Figmas own variables tutorial it would result in spacing tokens being called “SpacingSpacing-sm” if you would look at the tokens in Dev Mode. Can we please get an option to exclude the group names from the generated code? The groups as I seem them are for organising and not necessarily something we want to automatically include in the token name. Semantics are important for tokens so if I have to leave out part of the name and only have it as part of a group name it makes reading the token and using it correctly in Figma so much harder. Definitely interested in hearing others experience regarding this! Maybe i missed something or should rethink our structure.

Keyboard navigation in Selection Colors (Tab/Shift+Tab)

Hi, selection colors is a really great feature! One thing that could be improved though is keyboard navigation. Probably a low-hanging fruit: As a user, I’d love to go through several colors and change them, using the keyboard. I can navigate the color fields using Tab/Shift+Tab. But if I change a color value, keyboard focus position is lost shortly afterwards. What should happen: I select the first color value field, change it, press Tab (twice, to skip over the opacity field) to focus the next color value field, change it by typing or pasting a new color value, press Tab (twice), … What actually happens: I select the first color value field, change it, press Tab once → Opacity field is in focus, press Tab a second time → Keyboard focus is moved out of the property panel to the canvas, next Tab changes what I have selected on the canvas. I’d also really love to be able to assign my color variables directly from the color value input field, auto-complete search style. But that’s a diff

Color picker could have a better location to improve picking variables colors

Color Picker should be on the little color square (wich already is) but also a picker on the right of the value so we could pick it faster.

Fully Editable Component Instances

One common problem I run into, as well as others is adding things to component instances, or changing things like auto-layout direction for a given instance. Right now, in order to achieve for example a tree structure that can grow would be to make sure that the tree items are not in a component, and handle the nesting manually by resizing the tree nodes. This can get pretty bothersome when you also need to worry about other layout constraints, or need to change the spacing for example. Another way would be to have all of the possible tree nodes you want already pre-created in the master component, but this makes it quite annoying to manage, because you’d need to always hide and unhide each tree node and it pollutes your layer view with unnecessary items. I think a solution to this problem, and also likely other common issues with component instance management would be to just allow instances to be modified completely without restrictions, including being able to add items into the hie

⬡ Variable mode changes in prototyping should MATCH how it works on the canvas!

Currently if I want to change the variable mode in prototyping, it applies the mode change to ALL visible objects that contain that mode. The problem with this is that on the canvas variable modes are not applied universally but on a per-object instance… or parent + child-inheritance. Mode changes should apply the same way regardless of whether I’m on canvas working or making actions change them in prototyping. Also, please do not suggest using variants. I know that would work, but I’d much rather use variables and have them act consistently rather than try juggle both and then also waste anymore memory than I have to. Here’s a couple of GIFs showing what I mean : How mode changes work on the canvas =😎 How it works in prototyping = 💩

Hide a Frame/Section Name from the published component structure

Please add a way to remove specific names from a component name structure. We organize our files to make the components easy to find and that might include putting it inside another frame but we don’t want that frame name to appear when we’re actually using the component. Just like we have the “_” to show that a component isn’t supposed to be published, let us add a marker to a frame name to have it not show on the component library structure. Example: We have Page/Frame/Component, and renaming it to Page/_Frame/Component would show the component under Page/Component.

Customizable shortcuts

The main source of inspiration for this idea was to match the keyboard shortcuts themselves to different keyboard layouts. Right now, users who don’t use US keyboards have to memorize the location of the keys, rather than to use the actual character location to be able to use the shortcuts. Those involving this region are primarily the case: ABNT2 layout (Brazil). And here’s an example of confusing shortcuts: Although this problem could be solved by just rebinding the shortcuts to the actual character and not the location on the keyboard, I’ve noticed there are some other issues concerning key bindings. On this forum post, a member of the community asked for help on backing one layer level with a different shortcut from what Figma has right now. This makes the user adapt their workflow to the tool, and not the other way around — and that hinders efficiency. It would be nice if the tool itself provided some sort of customization on this regard. Although being a workaround, Mac users c

FigJam post it tab for new note

I’ve started a new job as a researcher and am so used to using miro for interview note-taking. They’re using FigJam for this and I’ve found it really clunky when trying to take notes quickly. I want to be able to be writing a note and then press TAB to create a new post it note, same colour the sits next to it. It’s too much effort to drag a new one into the right place and then start typing. I’ve missed what they’ve said in that time. Thanks!
