Question

Allow Percentages in Variables


claudiaf24

Please can we get percentages for variables? We can use percentages manually, but we can’t create a percentage as a variable. This would speed up my design to dev process tenfold, and considering we can already use percentages in the design, why disallow it in variables?

An example is I want store values for line height and letter spacing as percentages which behave responsively/dynamically, so when creating type variables I don’t have to do manual calculations, store 10+ letter spacing/line height values based on which font size they will be used with and hope I never change the font size variable in the future.

I found percentage guide plugin for FIGMA. 

It won't automatically update when you adjust the position or size, but it's useful because it saves you the trouble of calculating the default value as a percentage.
