Ultimately, the AI features are great value add - although at a price. There are many things I would prefer integrated or at least having some consistency between the tools.Some of them includeAdding the Make Changes feature into FigJam that are there for traditional design files Allowing for import/export of visio documents Conversion of files between FigJam, Design, Sites, Make, etc.

When detaching a child (nested) instance, this should detach that instance ONLY. It should NOT detach the parent instance (or any other component instance higher up in the chain).

Hi all,I’ve been using the Figma MCP server and found that get_code outputs Tailwind classes without any reference to Figma variables. For example, if I have 2 boxes that use two different semantic variables with the same hex value, Figma only provides the raw value in the generated React components.My Figma frame setupWhat get_code returns in CursorUnfortunately, this means the model has to guess which token to use from the codebase based on the raw value provided. Here is what Cursor tells me: Do you know if this is intended? Am I missing something that can bridge that gap accurately?Thanks.

It would indeed be game changing and important if we could get the option to automatically swap between variants based on the actual size of the parent frame. This could simulate real life complete web applications and be really helpful to show when and how a breakpoint should interfere with a component.

OK, maybe I’m just lazy but while developing a plugin using an AI editor to help, it would be really nice if I could highlight/copy the red error messages form the Figma application. I know the solution to this issue but for other issues it’s good to give AI the exact wording.   

A Cloud TV platform lets you stream live, linear, and on-demand content to web, mobile, and smart TVs—without heavy infrastructure. With scalability, multi-monetization models (SVOD, TVOD, AVOD), and real-time analytics in one dashboard, it’s a future-proof way to own your audience, grow revenue, and expand globally. Solutions like VPlayed make this transition seamless, combining broadcast-quality delivery with complete content control.

Right now, the “Update from main file” modal is the least helpful modal imaginable:No indication of what or where the conflict is. All I see is a zoomed-out view of my “Layout & Content” library page with nothing highlighted or listed out anywhere. And with this information, I have to choose whether to keep these changes or keep my branch. I manage a design system for a team of 10 designers, split up into 3 pods. This is a nightmare every time.Items with changes should be highlighted, and those changes should also be listed on the left-hand side.Edit: And would you look at that, I chose to keep the branch, arbitrarily, and the next screen actually shows me what the update involves! Why wouldn’t this be on the first screen? (I’ve edited out the content for NDA reasons) Now I actually have to go back to the previous screen and choose again if I’ve made a mistake. 

 Background:Let’s start with what is going on. Last config, Figma launched a new feature in Figma Design called Grid (Beta) which is I think an additional for the Figma Layouts. I’ve tried to look on what’s the difference between the new feature and the existing Layout Grid now Layout Guide (why would you rename existing features?) and all I could say is its the same thing, but with snapping element feature.   Auto - Layout (Vertical/Horizontal):A full auto-layout container has the ability to hug layers inside and adjust its dimension automatically In order to mimic the grid system, have to create a child container for the elements either by row or column, depending on your setup Adjust gaps between elements on the main container and the child containers Can add min and max for height or width to control column or row dimension Can use hug to set height and width of a specific column/row to automatic  Layout Guide (Former Layout Grid):Can’t adjust dimension automatically (no hugs) Layo

I was surprised to discover today that embed prototypes in Figma Slides do not show the mobile cursor nor allow me to hide the device frame.. 

Problem: Figma pages that were created to generate a prototype can be confusing for engineers and fellow designers. We sometimes get away with cleaning up the pages and labeling the frames, but that doesn’t always do the job especially for more complex flows. So we end up creating a separate page for our engineers which looks more like a sitemap with arrows for navigation. Solution: Have Figma auto generate a flat flow (sitemap) from the prototype. So it would take a prototype and create a new Figma page that has all the interactions of the prototype layed out in separate frames. They should be well organized frames of all the screens and interactions like popup modals, flyouts, all linked with arrows that can be labelled by the designers.

Is there a plan for Figma to support relative font size units, such as vw, vh, vmin, vmax, etc.? The design system I’m working at is trying to add fluid font size calculations to bigger title sizes, and Figma’s native support for these units would be extremely helpful. I’m also working separately on a plugin that converts inputed relative units to px values, but it seems Figma’s API won’t support background-running plugins that observes text layer changes. Any thoughts on making the plugin more useful?

I want to apply AI to Figma for example automatically update or generate UI screens following my current asset (I will create a library with color, icon, component, font of text, size of text,...). I see the feature First draft in Figma but it only allows me to use the existing libraries of Figma, cannot put mine. Please support me with this.

Hi there- I was just wondering about the possibility of adding a new feature surrounding components which could hopefully expedite some slow and time consuming processes- namely defining more complex variables which rely on the modal values of other variables without applying and editing it every single time to every relevant component- which is incredibly time consuming (for context, I used Figma as required for an assessment task, and building it with the variables in interactions took up too much time, both in figuring out how to apply variables if I couldn’t predefine them -apart from simple definitions in the variables table- and in debugging all of it- I even stayed up all night because I was too stressed- I ended up working on it from late afternoon all the way to 8 AM and thinking of solutions and I still couldn’t finish it- and that was just some of the final touches that should not have taken as long as it did.. even got sick from not sleeping. I’m still sick from it).So, I w

We are able to use icon fonts as icons in Figma (e.g.: Font Awesome, Material Icons) but the new Material Symbols font isn’t built into Figma yet. It would be so cool if Figma implemented this… What do you guys think?

For example, select a with the cursor, and write the same for b. Or write for B that the value of A multiplied by 50,000. I wish we could have this kind of function.The ai is absolutely powered by the text you enter, and even a slight change in the description is producing a completely wrong result.It would be nice if we could select multiple objects, such as adding the values of A and B to C.

For years I have the same issue with my devs: “Where to find a hover state for this button?” I’ve tried different approaches, but the most native (and most useful for devs) it is to have ability to see all component states on the fly, without leaving document and trying to find some piece of design documentation. You already introduced this as Playground feature, but it is not useful for devs. So my suggestion: Rename “Playground” to “Inspect component” Add Inspect panel in playground modal (in dev mode) Increase size of modal Add zoom-in\zoom-out features for component preview

I would like to be able to use colour styles just like fills / strokes. Meaning that I would like to be able to apply mutliple of them and or combine them with other fills. Current implementation: Currently using a colour style for either the fill or the stroke completely disables adding new fill or stroke colours Why I would need the feature: Using them in combination with other colour styles and or regular fills / stroke colours would allow me to do things like define shades over an image fill that I could reuse and update easily, or define a highlight shade that I can apply for different states (like mouse over). Currently, if I wanted to do that I would need to create multiple layers and give each of them their own colour styles. This is very much possible but complicates groups that have auto-layout or leads to text layers being below other layers and as such are not easily changeable without going through the layer panel. It would also enable you to quickly create slight variants

Hi all, I’ll try to keep it short and simple — I couldn’t find anything that directly addressed this issue, but in my opinion the way masks work in Figma is not optimal. Full disclosure, I come from a very comfortable with Adobe Illustrator angle (which essentially established the standard way to apply masks as far as I’m aware, and with good reason). The problem with needing the mask object under the object that is being masked, is that the mask object will invariably be smaller than the target object, and therefore this makes it extremely fussy to both select the correct items for masking and editing the mask layer itself. Once a mask is applied, to edit the vector points of the mask, the only way I can see is to find the mask layer in the layers panel and hit enter or the “edit object” button in the toolbar. This is a serious workflow killer when considering you could just double click into the mask object had it been on the layer above. That’s it! Please consider changing the mask

It would be amazing if you could unpublish individual templates that are no longer actively being used without unpublishing a whole template file.

EDIT: This hasn’t happened before but it loaded? So nevermind!Hi there! Is there any way that we could get the option in Figma to remove videos from a file when importing files for a free user account? I’m trying to add in an old project file to my personal figma that someone must have added a video file too, and it’s kind of a pain that there isn’t an option to continue the import and to remove it, I’d need to sign up for a month just so that I can even get in the file to remove it

It would be great if you could add the option to align multiple objects to a key object (like in Adobe Illustrator). You can see more here: Select & Align to Key Object | Illustrator Tutorial If anyone else wants this or has other alignment suggestions please upvote this topic and comment.

Looking for an updated version of the MKitF2I plugin to work with Indesign 2025.

not trying to shout in the title, just want to make this more visible. currently, when you want to apply, lets say, a gradient mask to an image, you need to make a shape, apply to it the gradient with transparency, then have the image on top of the shape and make a mask from the 2 layers in the layers panel. the problem is that its very hard to control afterwards, to select the image or the gradient layer you need to search in the layers panel, its just difficult. plus figma doesnt (yet, i hope) smooth gradients like photoshop does, so the mask wont even turn out very nice. you should look at how photoshop does it, why not just have the mask strictly linked to the image, or on the image, if you will, without the need for extra layers. for an example, imagine you are working with a irregularly shaped png with transparence - it would be really uncomfortable to apply a fade transparency to that png using the current means, you would create that masking layer under the png, but the png is

Why are Ukrainians not allowed to sell their files? We are not responsible for the situation that is currently happening between the two countries. I am a designer, and I want to earn additional income for my effort and my work! I believe it is unfair that we do not have the opportunity to share our creations “for a fee,” especially since no one knows how long the war will last. Please open access, because this is not fair to us as people and as designers.

Ideally we would see an MCP connection icon somewhere all the time so we do not break our prototype when the MCP connection fails or drops and then have the AI suddenly be dumb as a box of hair and redesign everything.
