I love using FigJam connectors in Figma to layout flows. They make diagram manipulation easy to iterate and refine. The drawback is that once I’ve completed a flow, I can’t create a master component and then the instances I need to present in multiple contexts. The FigJam connectors don’t want to nest inside of a frame, and as a result, my instances have no connector lines. Additionally, the only way I can share the completed diagram outside of Figma (.png or .pdf) is by making a screen cap, because the export function won’t capture the FigJam connectors either. So one of my steps once diagram is almost final is to replace the FigJam connectors with Figma lines/connectors that will componetize. It’s not so fun. It would be nice if those FigJam connectors could componetize along other elements in a frame. There must be something technically preventing this, but it would be a good enhancement, IMO.

Besides a PC, I work with an iPad with an Apple Pencil. In the FigJam for iPad, I found the eraser tool has no option like “pixel eraser” to remove part of my sketch strokes. This feature is widely available in many other apps including the native iOS Notes app. It is productive for hand drawing and prototyping. I would recommend it.

I have a bunch of illustrations in two different sizes & I would like to change the stroke thickness for the smaller size. I've locked the larger illustrations, but when I select the stroke type I would like to change and hit -> "select all with similar stroke" it also selects the locked layers of the larger illustrations… How can I avoid this or does anyone know a workaround? Grouping in frames or sections or hide the layers doesn't help either and renaming the layers is crazy work as there are thousands of vector layers in those illustrations + their variants. I don't understand the purpose of a locked layer if I can still edit it? I can't even easily drag-deselect as that option doesn't exist in Figma AND shift clicking the main frame to deselect the object and its children doesn't work because… the layer is locked 🤔 Unless I'm missing something, this is quite the catch-22!

When I create a set of components for a set of icons and take an icon from them to put it in a another components I need to change it to another variant but icon name is not enough, I think if I can see the icon it self next to the name it would be great. I understand it may not working for all components, but you can make preview variants like an option in the parent component and users can active it if they its needed.

To edit the figma jam file in phone, first you need to open the figma jam file in chrome browser. Then in tap the options of browser in top right corner. Then scroll down and enable desktop site. And here you are, now you can edit the file. Also for the drag you need to zoom in and out like you do for photos.

Chaining resizing options (fill container, fixed, hug etc) on auto layout frames takes a lot of time. it would be great to have keyboard shortcuts for them. If not keyboard short cuts then commands I can get to with cmd+P. Also: I thing double clicking an edge could make it fill the container (similar to hitting the edge of a text area) Suggestions (given that auto layout is Shift+A): SHIFT+A happens on release, not key down so that you can then… SHIFT+A+LEFT = Hug SHIFT+A+RIGHT = Fill SHIFT+A+DOWN = Fixed Existing:

Hi!It’s great that we have the skip slides functionality  but it would be even better if we could add additional functionality of being able to ‘Hide Slide’ from the presentation flow but still be able to link to – this would be very helpful for slides that are being shared and you want to supply additional info but its not imperative to the flow of the deck – so they act like an overlay/pop up Thanks ✌️

Currently trying Slides and loving it! One thing I will really love is to have “hide slide” or “skip slide”. Besides having different versions to review in the end, but also to be able tailor contents for different audiences. Looking forward to sharing this tool to my non-designer coworkers!

Instead of having to guess what a selected object will look like in a certain color, selecting the color, then if it doesn’t look right, changing my mind and going to the palette again, why not just preview the change to a selected object live in the document on hover over the palette? That way I could see how it changes the design? Kind of how shopping for a different color tshirt, if you hover over the color dots it will change the manequin’s shirt color.

The Figma app for Microsoft Teams is fantastic! But unfortunately, it doesn’t have compatibility with shared channels. Please consider adding it, so that I can share my Figma designs with external clients more easily.Full list of supported apps:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/shared-channels#supported-apps-in-shared-channels

Hey everyone,I've noticed that the transition from a pixel-perfect Figma design to a fully functional Elementor build can sometimes be more complicated than expected. Whether it's aligning responsive layouts, dealing with plugin limitations, or managing custom code and design tokens, many of us have faced hurdles along the way.Here are a few common issues that often come up:Responsive Design Breakdowns: What looks great in Figma doesn't always adapt well in Elementor. Plugin vs. Manual Conversion: Automated plugins may save time but often compromise on precision or flexibility. Integrating Custom CSS/Code: Sometimes achieving the exact look requires extra tweaking and manual code adjustments. Component Consistency: Keeping design tokens and shared styles uniform across projects can be a real headache. Workflow Efficiency: Balancing speed

Basic use caseI have a menu component which is composed of:header frame body frame footer frameIn the body frame there is a menu-list-item component.When I use a menu component instance I would like to be able, in the properties panel, to increase the number of menu-list-item to n instances.Feature suggestion: would be a feature that would allow me to flag the menu-list-item as a component instance that can be replicated n times inside my instance, either vertically or horizontally.It would avoid the cumbersome and not so clean workaround of working with slots/placeholders and keep in files plenty of “unique content component”.Other use caseIn my input, when in “inserted” state I can either choose to have chips or text.In the case of chips I would like

I had a shadow on one of the components… I could see it within the text but the text didn’t have neither any stroke nor shadow (inside, outside, nothing).Now, I checked the whole component and BOOM it turned out the component had shadow…IMO this is a big NO NO (yet another one).First of all, e.g. developers will not see that a text has shadow.Another thing, I was wondering why my text looks so strange and I really had wander around checking objects, going up, up, until the component…OMG people why are you doing things like that… ALWAYS some idiocy, always something non standard...

It is very hard for UX designers to show flows in figma, mainly because the arrows from figjam don’t allow to connect to different elements which is counter intuitive for UX designers. Also it is hard to work with figjam and figma as separate files for UX and Design specs we need the files together and it’s often easier for collaboration. Figjam is great for flow charts but I would love to have figma and figjam working as one.

I have a feeling neither of the following are possible due to the current flexibility of using template slides -- ie you can choose to use just a few slides from a template instead of using them all. I’ve just published a large slides template for company wide use but realized it does not retain the nested sections or animations between slides. The deck has 91 slides so without the nested sections that appear under each title slide it’s difficult to manage.I also have some slides that use variants of the the same component that I have set to smart animate between then to show the proper animation, but this is not retained in the template either. Is it possible to keep either of these baked into the template? Thanks

TLDR - this doesn’t workhttps://docs.tokens.studio/themes/themes-pro My Next/React web application platform has a pretty sophisticated token pipelineTokens are generated in Figma and recorded in Tokens Studio, where Figma is a participating member of the advisory board (DTGC format) Tokens are transformed by Style Dictionary (thanks Amazon!) into both Tailwind and JSON JSON powers a slot styling API for cachable elements in HeroUI Tailwind layer directives create a clean index of references for the slots Typescript uses branded types to tag data with processed/validated signatures throughout the system. I match the DTGC spec to increase type access between all DTGC-based systems and discriminated unions to handle the uniform interface between the branded DTGC types and systems like HeroUI and Tailwind.

This would be handy if I want to mass-select and find hidden layers to show altogether. Unless this is a technical limitation, I am shocked that this is not integrated as an option from the get-go.

I’m constantly clicking on this by accident. Is there a way to disable this shortcut so it doesn’t appear on every single frame?

Hi, I’m really tired that when me and my colleague are working on a file, when I choose a device for preview it applies for her too. Like if I’m working on the mobile BP, e she is working on the desktop BP, when I set the preview device for the prototipe, it applies for her too, its a bit annoying that when can’t have 2 different devices as a preview for our prototypes.

Title Typo: "Ungroup" a component and keep properties of nested frameI have a component with a nested frame (in this case it was a subcomponent - because this dated library used master components) I want to rid it of it’s nesting but the nested frame holds the background color, autolayout, stroke, effects etc. Because I can’t ungroup the VARIANT at the top level, I have to re-add those properties after I ungroup the nested frame.  

Can we get a true aspect ratio lock when the ‘Constrain Proportions’ is on? A true aspect ratio lock means two things: When dragging on a node with ‘constrain proportions’, its width and height always stay in their original ratio no matter which direction you drag it. When resizing on the parent of a node with ‘constrain proportions’ that happens to be constrained, the node takes on the smallest of its supposed width and height, and calculates its ratio accordingly. This would be so very helpful to polygon shapes that want to stay

When prototyping vertical scrolling, I find it tedious to constantly toggle the container's clipping mask on and off to edit content. Are there any workarounds to avoid this? I don’t want to create a component because the content changes with the progress of prototype.  Figma should automatically turn on clipping mask in Present mode and turn it off in edit mode. 

hey, sometimes i just want to check how people with a viewer role would see the file and dont want to bother logging in with a “viewer” account. then it would be just nice to be able to switch the UI to what they would see. e.g. sometimes i wonder what they can and cant copy or what they see in the side panel AND NO i dont want to go to the Figma documentation and look for that screenshot 😃 just let me switch view > check > done > happy 😃

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.

Seria legal uma atualização ou a criação de um plugin com a possibilidade de adicionar sangria e marca de corte.
