Calculation formula within variable input

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

Support vector animations in "smart animate"

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

exporting prototypes

Figma can create excellent interactive prototypes and smart animations, but why doesn’t it support exporting them into GIF or video formats?

[x] button too big

Hi there, the button is too big in my opinion for changing tabs. I’d love for it to be the same size as Google Chrome’s button. I’ve accidentally closed so many windows because of this.

Figma Slides: Radius control

It seems that it is only possible to change the radius of a rectangle by using the handles in a newly drawn or pasted rectangular shape but it is not possible to adjust the radius of a frame. There are also no way in the right panel to enter a specific value. Use case: I am pasting a mobile design from a Figma Design file into Figma Slides and want to round the corner of the frame and that is not possible.

Chat Functionality Improvements

The chat function in Figma can be frustrating to use for a couple of reasons, the most glaring are: If I start typing in a chat bubble and need to go look at something in the file before I finish posting, there’s not way to exit out without hitting “send”. Suggested improvement allow a “draft” to save typed text, close the bubble, and reopen it When I hit “enter” to make a new paragraph, the message sends instead. Suggested improvement hitting “enter” breaks to a new line, hitting “tab-enter” will send message (or clicking “send” button) Thanks for reading!

LAUNCHED: Moving or copying variables

Has anyone found a way to copy, transfer or move the new local variables to another file or collection? Just created around 400 color variables manually in the wrong file and would hate having to re-create them in the correct one 😅

Folders/Sub Folders/Group Pages

Page dividers or spacing? 🤔 Cause this hack to use a page to fake it is in 99% of all Figma files I’m in. Does anyone else experience this?

Protect/Block a page within a file from receiving Library updates

I would like to “protect” or “lock” specific pages within a file from receiving library updates - similarly to how I can hide components from being published, but applied on the receiving end. This would allow me to update all of the components in my file much quicker if only one or two pages were “protected”, rather than needing to go through each page individually and apply the updates. The types of protected pages would likely be from a demo or a prototype version that captures the evolution of the product’s design phase.

Add Variable support for Letter Case

It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu). It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”. I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.

Make text follow a path or a circle

I’m trying to create the text effect in this image. The odometer’s text wraps around the circle very nicely. Right now I have to use a plugin, but I lose the ability to edit the text afterwards and there is no preview so I have to try a few times to get the text to wrap nicely. Sketch had a feature where if you dragged a text on top of a path it would snap to it and would follow the path. A similar feature (perhaps with a better implementation) would be very welcome on Figma.

Can we move Figma Dev resource links on sections from one Figma project to another?

I’ve been designing a new product in a single file, which has recently started using an excessive amount of memory. I want to split each page into its own new file and then split each section into its own page within the file. But I’ve used the Dev resource link to keep the sections connected to the backlog items in DevOps. When I copy and paste the sections from the old file into the new file, the Dev resource links are lost. Is there any way to copy sections to a new file and preserve the original Dev resource link? If not, I think there should be.

Assign variables to variant properties of the main components & nested instances

I haven’t found this in “coming soon” for variables… As it works now, a variable can control properties only of the topmost component instance. You have to assign a variable again and again to each instance each time you place it, you can not nest components with variables at all.

Limit collaborators Access to Libraries in Shared Figma Files

Request: I’d love to see a feature that allows us to: Restrict library access for specific collaborators (e.g., freelancers) while still letting them edit files. Allow editing permissions on a file without giving full library access. (Optional) Watermark or block asset copying from libraries or shared files.

Auto reverse auto-layout order of display

Auto layout is cool. Thanks Figma! However, to change the display order, one has to manually change the order of each item in the Layer section, which can be annoying when dealing with too many items in the layout. A solution would be to add three layout buttons, right below the current ones, that do just that: reverse the order of display. Much love. I hope this helps! Names of the button and much more on it on my personal blog on Medium: New Figma Auto-Layout Feature. The Problem | by Malik D | Mar, 2024 | Medium

Turning off "snap to pixel grid" should turn snapping off!

Hi! Turning off “snap to pixel grid” in a Figma Design file no longer changes snapping behavior when dragging frames around. Whether this feature is turned on or off, a dragged frame still snaps to each pixel, no matter how zoomed-in. Note that some other objects (e.g., vector objects) still respect this setting. It’s just an issue with frames, components, and component instances. Note that If I group the frame, I then can drag the group to any sub-pixel location. I’ve restarted my machine, restarted Figma, checked for updates, reloaded tabs, tried it in other design files. Tried it in the client, in Chrome, and in Safari. Same problem. Can anyone else replicate this?

Boolean Variables Assignable inside component

To make reusable components with variables, it is better to have Boolean variable inside a component. Kindly add that function in upcoming release

More details in the update window!

Is there a way to see more details when getting updates when there are changes? having only a preview and/or comparison does not help at all. It would be cool to see what exactly (style, element etc.) has been changed.

All plans should offer more than 4 variable modes

It would be great if the professional plan offered more than 4 variable modes. Right now I want to set up a mode for each component size-- XS - XL, 5 sizes all together-- which puts me over the 4 limit for pro, but well under the 40 limit for enterprise, which is a quantity I will never need. And there’s no use case for enterprise at all for a team our size. I think 10-12 modes for pro would be perfect to give small teams like mine room to grow before we reach the scale where an enterprise plan would be worth consideration.

Ability to reorder Variable Modes

As design systems grow organically, it might be necessary to reorder Variable Modes in the Local variables panel, similarly to how it is possible to reorder variables.

Use percentages for heights, widths, paddings, gutters in auto layout

This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Import EPS into Figma

There is lot of market out there which provides illustrations or assets in the form of EPS. (for example, freepik assets). Prototyping tools like sketch already supporting the EPS file and it’s easy to use them inside it. But Figma lacks the support of it and I think we should have that in the near future. Do you guys know any workaround to import the eps into figma ? I am preferring a free approach because illustrator and sketch are paid tools.
