 I stare at it, looking for the option I want before finding it. Here is what throws me off. For reference, there are the five rows of controls presented:Here’s what’s confusing to me.In row 2, the left-most button switches modes (auto, freeform), but it’s *inside* the mode that is set by row 1, confusingly in the same row as the mode modifiers. Also, the icon for this button is meaningless to me. Rows 2 and 4 four directly affect each other, yet they are separated by W/H. Rows 3 and 5 directly affect each other, yet they are separated by layout origin/spacing. BTW I love the layout of row 4! It’s just feels like it’s in the wrong place. This would make so much more sense (to me) 

Add opportunity to wrap verticaly to use grid for layers with different proportions

Need print funtionality and MP4/CMYK export now we have buzz. To compete with Canva. It is the last thing keeping canva users from using figma that export functionality. Also display in CMYK. Crops and bleed options too. MP4 to export animations.

Honestly i’m not impressed with this year feature update. Last year changed the ui a LOT!!! which was a learning curve for everyone and this year you still changed the major features: autolayout, layers panel, draw feature.Layers panel:I get you added the thumbnail of frames,groups to give clarity but it actually is distracting and taking too much space and not doing it’s basic job of telling me which frame is horizontal aligned or vertical, it’s not even clear that it is an autolayout or frame or group. Unless i don’t rename them i’ll have no way of knowing it, If there’s a way please let me know. But otherwise it was needed and hampering my workflow right now. I like the old icon pattern look which was clear right away, not making me think twice.Autolayout: It is changed again with too many icons at top, even if you explain us the meaning it is still not making sense to me. LAST YEAR changes made a lot of sense for me as you grouped major things that were supposed to be together but

Figma Buzz me parece una función fascinante que ya hacía falta. Sin embargo, tengo algunas sugerencias para potenciarlo (o quizás ya existen pero no he logrado encontrarlas). En cualquier caso, aquí las presento: Assets frecuentes: Sería muy útil contar con una sección donde se puedan añadir elementos como logos o imágenes que usamos constantemente en nuestros diseños. De esta forma, cualquier usuario con acceso al archivo podría arrastrarlos y soltarlos fácilmente desde allí, como una especie de panel de recursos predeterminados. Exportación de carruseles: ¿Existe alguna manera de exportar una sola publicación dividida automáticamente en partes iguales? Por ejemplo, al crear carruseles para Instagram que están conectados visualmente, solemos trabajar en un solo frame, pero luego debemos exportar y recortar manualmente con otras aplicaciones. Tener una opción para dividir y exportar según un tamaño específico sería ideal. Banco de imágenes: Estaría genial poder vincular una librerí

I’m a UI designer, not an analytic or product designer and Figma UI3 is a huge drawback for me for many reasons.Now I need to search where the @$#% size/position and layout section is. Every. %!@#*&$. Time. It just exhausts me. Effects section is now above selection colors? WHY? WHO HAVE ASKED FOR THIS? Back in the day all assets were shown simultaneously and I could have pick them instantly, now I need to navigate through folders and to try and remember where have I placed them. Plugins are now buried in sub-submenu for like why? They don’t matter anymore?PLEASE PLEASE at least let us customise your shiny new piece of… refined and exquisite design.

 I love the implementation of Figma Draw! Please keep adding more functionality, because I would love to keep using Figma instead of having to pull in elements from Adobe Illustrator! Here’s my feature request:Can you add more detailed point manipulation tools in Figma Draw, such as the ability to scale, rotate, transform individual vector points in concert each other relative to a custom transform origin point?This process is relatively simple in Illustrator currently. I just select my points, select the Scale tool, set my origin point, and then drag/scale. Each point is transformed an equal amount, its perfect. This capability is super helpful for icon and logo design.  In Figma currently (unless I’m missing something) this is a very manual process: I have to select a vector point, and then key in an X (trial and error that value) and then do it for the other point, which is extremely cumbersome compared to most vector editors.   

Did you actually test UI3 on power users? I suspect not given that the simple and intuitive UI2 is now ruined by annoying extra clicking and UI elements not being  placed together. This “update” is a backwards step and we as users should be able to choose and configure how we want the UI for our purposes. The bottom centre floating tool bar is just wrong for power users. 

Fundamental to using any digital whiteboard, is being able to hyperink image elements.Please consider adding this to the pipeline! It’s a huge setback to using Figjam and lags behind competitors for a basic requirement. Community, I’m not alone. Please chime in! 🙏

When I use lines to visually show navigation between screens (like button-to-screen flows), I often run into issues with drag selection. Even when I’m not hovering directly over a line, the bounding box gets picked up, which makes it hard to select other elements nearby.It would be helpful to have an option to only select a line when the stroke itself is clicked or dragged over and not the entire bounding box. This would make drag selection much more precise when working with visual flow diagrams.

Hey Figma Team,Now that the Figma Sites are here, all my website ideas can be implemented. But some of them require the ability to fetch and showcase live data from existing databases like, Notion, Google Sheets, etc. I want a feature like Framer Fetch that can allow me to fetch external data and sync any thing from Figma into the database, essentially allowing Two-Way Sync. Please, would appreciate having such a feature.

Hello there Dear Figma community! Figma is great and perfect.It is unque and also user friendly.Its new tools like buzz and drwing are fantastic.Its prototyping is fast and smart.Its collaboration and dev modes are all great.But for making it further perfect can you please add some more interactions like scroll in veiw and tilt oter interactions.Please also add cursor bar in which we can creat custom cursors that will be used in our app or website.I hope that you will add these features soon.I will be very thankful to you!

I want to choose origin x y position

I’d love to see Rive embeds working live in Figma. Currently, in Notion you can embed a rive animation and then interact with it directly in the Notion window, this is also available on Twitter feeds. Here is an example of some Rive animations running in notion → RIVE EXAMPLE I am currently creating motion design standards to complement a design system and giving the engineers the ability to interact with the component they are building would be phenomenal. I’d love to see Rive animations incorporated into prototypes as well.

I am excited about the new figma features, but especially about the figma grid. But the problem is - I do not understand how to work with grids. I tried playground and I couldn't do the first task😁 Well, I'm not the brightest mind, so can we please have a video tutorial? And not just for grids! I would also like to see an overview of the other new features. My brain is struggling with all the new updates. It's easier to watch and follow a tutorial, at least for me :) And can you please add Hug option for grids too?   Thanks a lot!

Huge!! 🌳

Hello there !I am a designer working with dev all day. So we (dev and me) have high hopes for dev mode. And now it's relatively interesting to work with. But there's still one thing missing... When the ‘open overlay’ interaction generates a background colour, this background is not mentioned in the dev mode interaction section (this is for the pop up case)… I mention this because, my devs don't have the reflex to look at interactions in prototype mode. So they miss them. And one more thing, the export of CSS is no more available ?Thank you a lot for your work.Marine

Hi,I'm working on a Figma Slides project that requires animating text line by line within a single text box, but I've encountered a limitation. Currently, Figma only allows us to animate entire text boxes as single units, regardless of how many lines of text they contain.It would be incredibly useful if we could apply different animations to individual lines of text that are separated by line breaks/returns within the same text box. For example, having line 1 fade in, then line 2 slide in from the right, and line 3 scale up—all within a single text box.This would enable more sophisticated text animations without requiring designers to split text into multiple separate text boxes (which creates maintenance headaches when content changes).Has anyone found a workaround for this? Or could the Figma team consider adding this capability in a future update? Or is it already there and I’ve just missed it?Thanks for your help!

Please, for the love of everything mighty, add an item “Cancel request to edit” in the dropdown menu below the name of the file. It happened to me several times that I clicked by accident on the “Ask to edit” button, on files that I REALLY didn’t want to touch, and the mere thought of the poor file owner wondering who’s that random guy who requested access to their own file is so embarassing to me…

Hello,I currently can’t use half of the keyboard shortcut because I use an azerty keyboard on PC. The current Figma azerty layout is only valid for mac. The layout in Figma My layout Out of the 3 essentials shortcuts, I cant do one of them at all and I have to remember the correct key for another, so I can only do 1 out 3 without thinking about it. There are two different layouts for UK keyboards (Mac and PC) already so it would be great to have the same for french! Thank you

Built-in support for sound/audio interactions in prototypes especially for simple transitions for better engagement

When I select text layer and press CTRL+C to copy it’s content to WYSIWIG editor (I use Wordpress and Elementor builder) I’ve got this https://i.imgur.com/UiRFdrh.png and I copied the simple text layer with content “About” figma: https://i.imgur.com/RwSHuPQ.png result: https://i.imgur.com/yO2UdH1.jpg Yes, I can copy text with this button https://i.imgur.com/W0UGvXT.png and all works fine, but this is not very handy to switch between tabs with a mouse while your are codding. In my opinion this CTRL+C should work exectly like button above. Or maybe is there a way to add some hotkey (like CTRL+SHIFT+C) to copy only text content of the layer?

As a backend developer, I would like to be able to add details for how various parts of the design can be implemented as backend interactions (API endpoints, parameters, specifics). Currently, I am limited to add an URL in “Dev resources”, but I would like to be able to add information other than an URL.There also doesn’t seem to be a way to easily see which parts of the design have dev resources attached and which don’t.All in all, I haven’t found a way to use this feature in a useful way so far, and have been using discussions instead.

It would be nice if I could use the arrow keys to pan the view. They don’t seem to do anything right now (at least in read only mode). This would allow to alt-tab from code to Figma and scroll around to consult the design without having to use the mouse.
