Fr/Percent units for more control over auto layout content

+1 on every previous comment. big ongoing frustration point.

Push.

It’s annoying that you didn’t present such an elementary function this year. Just like Margins …

Piping in to share another example of a use case here. I can achieve a somewhat desired result of the shape’s proportions adjusting based on its size, using Constraints (with both vectors within it set to Scale) — but this unfortunately means I can no longer use Autolayout… which I do want to use, since I want the component to adapt to the amount of text within it. 😕

Ideally, I’d love to just be able to set the bottom vector’s height to e.g. 10% of the parent component’s height, and let autolayout handle the rest.

As a developer, I’m significantly impacted by the inability to set widths as percentages in Figma. When designers create mockups intended for development, defining the width of an element as a percentage of its parent element is a fundamental requirement. This functionality is a staple in CSS, so I’m curious as to why it isn’t available in Figma’s width or max-width settings. Can anyone shed some light on this or suggest a workaround?

+1 this would be huge! it’s very very common for us to need to specify different percentage widths for two resizable sections. it’s so difficult to do this manually without the help of auto layout.

This is long overdue.
Figma, are you listening?

Bringing AI and UI3 before a key feature like this to build responsive layouts is a desaster. The communication with developers is a torture without this feature.

This is the logical next step to significantly improve layout creation.
Come on Figma… please don’t make us wait until Config 2025.

I was hoping percentage widths would get announced at Config 24… but instead we got Figma AI 🤨

Please, please add this feature! Setting % width on a child div is commonly used in front-end web development and will cut down time spent translating between designing in Figma and actual dev. In short it’ll make Figma very intuitive to use for any front-end developer.
