Align the Line tool points to the center

I tried to make some geometric shapes, and I spent a bunch of time aligning all of the lines before I found out about flattening lines. When using the line tool, it’s edit points are not in the center And to do this, you have to flatten it by Ctrl + E: I think making the edit points centred by default would be better for the workflow!

Custom Annotations in Dev Mode

I’ve noticed in development mode, we’re limited to adding annotations from a set of predefined options. However, there are times when I need to include custom notes or additional information, which isn’t currently possible. It would be greatly beneficial if the annotation functionality could be expanded to allow for the inclusion of custom text or the modification of existing options directly in dev mode. Do you think such a feature could be implemented in the future?

Dev mode shouldn't flag as "Overrides" changes made through variable modes

Hi! I have a file with some instances that had some variable modes applied (e.g. dark mode instead of light). Nothing else was overridden in the instance. However, Dev Mode shows the banner the message saying: “This instance overrides the color and layout defined by the component.”. I don’t think that’s correct, though, because we didn’t override anything. We just chose a different color scheme in variables. If i inspect the changes, it shows that apparently I overrode the colours (which is not true, I just applied a different mode). To avoid any mistake, I wouldn’t flag it as “override”, rather I would highlight that it has a different mode than the “standard” one (which would be rather better). Thanks!

FigJam : Make sticky note aspect ratio unlocked

Currently, when using a sticky note in a FigJam document, the aspect ratio is locked so that I cannot adjust it as I wish. This is annoying. Please give us the flexibility to adjust.

Allow designing from within device frame

I’m also having this issue where I can only see the iphone outline when it comes to present mode, but not when I make the frame in design. I want the outline of the phone while I design, not just afterwards. Why is this so hard to make happen? I’ve tried the prototype settings, but it just shows it in a tiny thumbnail and not where I actually need it to be (on design frame area). Please help, I want to be able to design inside the frame with the proper exterior DURING the working process, not just a preview afterwards. Why even have all the different iphone/ipad/etc frames if you’re just giving white boxes? Why not make every single one come with the appropriate outline and then people can toggle on/off visibility as they choose?

Vector image as fill

Currently, if I try to use a vector image as a fill, Figma tells me that it can’t use vector images as fills. Can that be changed?

Expose instance swap properties from nested components

I have a sidebar menu list item component with three variants: Default, Hover, and Selected. Each of those has icon and text nested components, and each of those has their own properties. icon has instance swap and Boolean properties: text has instance swap, Boolean, and text properties: I have exposed the properties of icon and text to my sidebar menu list item component. However, the instance swap properties are not exposed to the top-level component/instance: This is annoying because, rather than being able to set all of my properties for my top-level instance in one place, I have to drill down into it to be able to set the instance swap property for the sub-instance.

Any plans to make pushing of updates to duplicated community files?

Taking into account #config2021 announcements, I wonder Figma has any plans to improve the situation by introducing updates to duplicated community files. The problem now with community files is that that once you duplicated it, it is super difficult to incorporate update from original files. And it is often the case that updates and fixes are introduced gradually especially in the file is a design system or something non-trivial. I wonder if brave Figma people have something up their sleeve for this scenario? Much love, @ykovzel

Show non-breaking spaces in text inspector for dev mode

Hi! We make designs in Russian, and there are lots of non-breaking spaces (nbsp) after prepositions and short words (see my list here). Our UX writer places these nbsp with a Figma plugin, but our iOS developers lose these hidden characters (you can’t visually distinguish between a regular space " " and nbsp " ") when copying and pasting strings from Figma to their IDE (the IDE doesn’t show nbsp neither). Please, show these symbols in codes like \U00A0 in dev mode code for SwiftUI, so our developers can easily copy and paste the text as it was intended by our UX Writer For example, here you could write Text("Документов на\U00A0подпись нет") instead of Text("Документов на подпись нет")

Pages Organization

I use pages for old versions, it’d be nice to either have folders or a way to highlight the version I’d like the devs to use. Also the concept of a ‘master link’ that I could send out that I could always make sure was pointing to the latest version.

Would like a thumbnail visible when a file is locked

I use thumbnails as an easy, visual way to identify my files, but sometimes I need to password protect a file in order to test prototypes with users outside the company or other reasons. Unfortunately, locking a file currently replaces the thumbnail with a dark background and a key icon. It would be helpful to me if the file retained it’s thumbnail even when it is locked. Thanks!

Option to adjust distance between objects from the group center

When you pull the small purple handles to adjust the distance between objects they always adjust from the top left corner of the group. When you have a group of objects that are center-aligned I want them rather to be adjusted from the center. Now I have to adjust and nudge, adjust and nudge, etc to see what it will look like. This could be done by holding the Alt-key while dragging the purple handles.

Do not show hand cursor on prototype

For usability testing, I need a way to disable to cursor to hint at where to click. Customers just go scrolling around for when they get the hand. This makes disabled hotspots useless.

Interaction changes values of nested properties in components

It would reduce the amount of repetitive design to add the ability to add the output option to interactions on components to change the properties of nested components inside the selected component. For instance, it would be helpful to have the ability to change the icon in a button on click, rather than to design an additional button instance with the new icon just for that one case.

Feature Request - Color variables and styles as gradient stops and shadow color

Hi Figma team, This is Joshua Day, UX designer at Tenable. I’m requesting the ability to assign color variables to the color stops in gradients. Also for the shadow color: At Tenable, there are places we use gradients and shadows that we have to change the hex values directly each time. If those values came from our design system, it would save a ton of work. Thanks!

A shortcut key to select autolayout panel (alignment box)

So, we have shortcut to add autolayout (shift+A) and then, we can do a variety of adjustments right on the canvas for that frame (adjust padding, gap, width, height). Then if we want to chance the alignment of the childs elements inside the frame we have to go to the right sidebar, select the alignment box and THEN we have other set of shortcuts, (Set alignment, Set alignment to edge, Toggle baseline alignment, Toggle gap between). But if I am already in the alignment box with the cursor, why would I use that shortcuts? I can change that right in the alignmet box (becouse Im already there!) So… for this shortcuts to be really usefull, We need a way to select the alignment box without going to the right sidebar and selected it. So a shorcut key for “select autolayout panel” or "select alignment box"would be a hugh difference, and we wolud have fully control of auto layout properties without leave the frame we are working on. This have sense to you to or what do you think?

Sliding line-height from Auto → sluggish decimal change

When the leading is set to Auto, and I click on the line-height icon + drag left, the increment of change is a decimal/float number, which means I have to drag SUUUPER far in order to make a decently sized change to the line-height. Suggestion: Make the default increment = 1, unless the line-height is currently set to a decimal. My hunch is that this will be easy to implement, because maybe Auto is currently 120.0% (float) in the backend, rather than 120% (integer).

Better reporting options

Hi! May you please make it so hitting the report resource button doesn’t just take you to the contact page, but is like any other report button? Meaning, I can just click it, and it’ll ask why I’m reporting, then I say why, and it sends a report to your moderation team. If you don’t have a moderation team, you have to get one… Also, there should be another button as explained, but this one should be for reporting the creator’s profile as a whole. The fact that it isn’t an option is insane!
