My team has an area where we put stuff like copyright notices in a group/frame. Figma keeps moving the point where it was aligned too (where the person who made it put it originally, that was right where the camera spawned). What I’m suggesting, is to add a way to set that point, with no chance of Figma moving the start pos.

In Figma’s gradient feature, when switching from a solid color to a gradient, a newly introduced color always alters both the brightness and saturation. However, such occurrences are scarcely applicable in interface design (at least in my experience, I’ve never encountered it). Consequently, each time I switch gradients, I have to manually copy the hex value to override the unwanted color and proceed with my work, which is quite inconvenient. It’s hoped that there could be presets for newly introduced colors. Every user has different usage scenarios, and it would be beneficial if saturation, brightness, transparency, or newly added colors could remain unchanged. Previously, having a gradient’s newly added color with 0% transparency was preferable to the current situation.

Hey! Let’s say I make 100 icons. I often need to change sizes and positions. My monitor is wide: the sidebar is far from the icons, and it is inconvenient to aim. Resizing with the mouse is not convenient for small values (e.g., 148px → 146px). Therefore, I suggest adding the ability to change sizes next to a layer: select the layer → click on the size → enter a new one. Exactly the same feature would be useful for moving layers and points on vectors to exact coordinates (e.g., 131.48px). I suggest adding that one with the option to turn it off.

When renaming many variables it is frustratingly slow to do so and prone to errors. With layer renaming it’s much more intuitive, fast and accurate. It would be great to have that same functionality applied in renaming Variables.

I loved this feature in sketch, the way you inserted a component. It was much more organised, the current way figma uses assets is not as clean. I would like this feature added.

I find myself updating instances too often and forgetting to push to the main component. A setting to update the main component by editing the instance would be really beneficial.

When using the alignment function on content across multiple different frames on the page, it did not align them with each other as described in the documentation, which worked correctly in previous versions. However, if these frames (Frame1, 2, 3) are nested within a parent frame (FrameA), it is possible to align the elements within Frame1, 2, 3 with each other. This achieves my goal, but it’s overly complex.

is it possible add private mode so no one else can access file while you’re working on it but everybody can access it in public mode? Basically same file with private and public mode available.

If I make changes to the scoping of a variable, the only way to track down the changes is to click into each variable and check the scoping settings. It would be nice if an icon could be placed next to the variable label, perhaps aligned to the right for the following states: Full scope - no icon Partial scope - half-closed eye Fully hidden - closed eye This would obviously only apply to colors and numbers.

Hello 🙂 I think it might be useful if there is some kind of feedback to why the ‘Invite’ option is disabled. For example today it was disabled because the email address I have added was missing a dot (.), therefore invalid. I spent a lot of time searching for resolutions and reading unanswered questions in the community so maybe a single hover state why it’s disabled might be useful. Or leave it enabled and provide error messaging. I hate displaying errors but it might be clearer than expecting someone to see a missing dot at 10:30 pm 😃 Hope that makes sense. Cheers!

It would be nice to have an option to have the stroke offset or inset the shape it’s being applied to. As in, when I have a rectangle with a fill applied and want to add a stroke to it, sometimes I want the stroke to be inset or offset of the shape and not on the perimeter. As it stands now I have to copy the shape and group them together, one with a fill and the other as just a stroke and it’s a bit cumbersome. There should be a setting within that dropdown that has the inside, center, or outside settings where you can select inset or offset. Then you can input the amount you want, would make it much easier and quicker.

A request that might seem a bit unusual at first, but it’s something that I believe could greatly benefit many designers, including myself. I have a significant number of design files saved in the Adobe Fireworks format (.fw.png). While I understand that Fireworks is an old and somewhat outdated tool, these files contain valuable work that I’d like to import into Figma for further collaboration and development. Unfortunately, Figma currently doesn’t support the direct import of .fw.png files, and converting them manually can be quite time-consuming and may result in loss of fidelity. Hence, I’m wondering if Figma can consider adding compatibility for this format.

That is totally useless for me, I use as solo designer, Why do I need multiple cursors

是不是可以让某个组件单独设置成可编辑模式？ 比如设计一个响应式的组件，查看的人需要能够尝试一下拉伸效果

I wasn’t able to understand why my critical component didn’t publish. When I decided to look into the problem I discovered Figma: Doesnt allow you to Publish things with unused instances anymore I have a futureproof instances I can use when needed. Why cant they just hang around? Has a very bad UI/UX for telling user about it. First of all why show this, if it can’t be published: Second of all why Invalid instances look like a header here (and why collapsed by default???) Why can’t it at least expand if I try to publish bad component?

Sometimes you need more space within an artboard, but you have elements above/under/to the sides and you want to create more space by enlarging the canvas while pushing the rest of the elements to one side. Normally you would have to enlarge the artboard, select everything, move it and then continue editing, but that is a hassle.

Sometimes your FigJam gets cluttered with shapes, stickies or images, and you want to create some space. Normally you would have to select everything and move it to one side. It would be great to have push feature that would push all the elements to one side and open space.

I use the home page left sidebar to organize files and access them quickly (and it’s very helpful for that). However, I think it would be even better with a few feature additions: I treat my sidebar lists as personal folders that improve my efficiency, whereas my team as a whole has its own system of organization for files in projects to ensure that all stakeholders can navigate easily to the right files. I would love to be able to click into a sidebar list and view its contents in full page mode in the same way that you can click into projects and view their contents. Pinning could function in the same way it does in projects, but pinned items could also be displayed as pins at the top of a list in the sidebar. This would allow me to treat a sidebar list as a project without impacting the organization system that others on my team see and use. It would also be very helpful to have the ability to sort (in both the sidebar view and the full view detailed above) sidebar contents by rece

Please add some kind of this preview to navigate faster between file pages

Put back the show hide ui with the shortcut ² on windows it was very practical, the @ is not possible with windows keyboard. Thanks

Hey Figma Community! I wanted to share a challenge we’re currently facing in our design system: line-height flexibility. Our typography setups have served us well, but they’re starting to feel a bit rigid in certain design contexts. After some brainstorming and debates, I’ve been contemplating a solution: introducing line-height variables. This idea draws inspiration from frameworks like tailwindcss, which offer classes like tight, snug, normal, relaxed, etc., allowing developers to adjust line-height dynamically based on the class applied. Implementing line-height variables could offer the flexibility we need without cluttering our typography styles library. It’s a way to provide designers with more control without overwhelming them with excessive options. However, I’m also open to exploring alternative approaches. So, I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how we could tackle this challenge together. Looking forward to your insights.

Higher memory usage limit would be useful when working with huge design files and with huge design system libraries imported. We are currently having issues with this specific situation.

我经常在做后台管理系统，自己创作了一套组件。 但是会遇到一些让我头疼的问题： 1、我希望表单面板分3列，每个小的表单组件占用1个位置，而右侧一般为我的说明位置； 2、有些比较大的组件可能需要2列位置，如果我想创建两个自适应组件，他们会平分。但是我无法控制它的宽度占用2/3的空间，另外一个控制在1/3的空间。如果我设定了一个固定值，那么它便不能自动适应。 所以我希望能够自适应面板中，内容在填充状态下，尺寸可以增加比例的控制，我想代码层面也是自持比例控制的。

Would love to have the ability to apply outlines and outline offsets that will not mess up my alignement. Similar to how it’s done on CSS. For example if I have a button that I want to design a focused state for I currently have no simple way to do it (I have to nest it in several layers and again the padding will remain) Moving from “stroke” to “borders” and “outlines” is a lot better in my opinion

Hi there, Is there a possibility for the monthly or quarterly invoices to have an exchanged rate pricing on the invoice as this will reflect a more realistic figure for the accountant at the time of conversion. I’ve attached an example of my Adobe Creative Invoice with a local currency exchange rate as well. The currency I need to be converted for example is South Africa’s “ZAR” Feedback on this matter will be highly appreciated. Kind regards
