Scale as a property

Same issue here, we (the entire design team) use a lot of components containing illustrations/icons from a separate library. With this ‘bug/issue’ we are forced to flatten all shapes (rounded corners), text, and outline all the strokes. Which is not really ideal if we want to edit the illustrations (or icons) later.

@Figma Can you please fix this?

How it should work;
If a nested component is scaled (not resized) in its parent component, the scale should be preserved when swapping the nested component. (including scale of rounded corners, line-weight and text size)

@Joris_Hoogendoorn Unfortunately it’s not a bug because their ‘scale’ tool isn’t really a scale tool. It’s not a scale property. It’s a normal resize tool that just uses ‘scale’ and a measurement key. I have a feature request for having scale as a property. This would solve all of thissss. I’d appreciate a vote! Scale as a property

You can switch between ‘scale’ and ‘resize’ with K key on your keyboard, right? So, it should be a real ‘scale’ tool, then… I guess.

The fact that scale (also stroke weight/thickness) is not preserved when swapping instances is a real pain… Every time when you want to change an icon, you would have to reconfigure the stroke property and tweak it one by one. 🤦‍♂️

I think I’m having a similar instance building out a Material Design List Component. I’ve built out 1, 2 and 3 line List Rows which due to their content have different heights. I am wanting to nest them inside of a parent component called List State so that I can have interactive component linkage for hover, selected and dragged states without quadrupling my already huge (288 variants) List Rows variant.

Inside of the variant container for List State, when I swap the instance of List Row, the parent (List State) changes height to accommodate the larger or smaller nested List Row.

The problem is when I use an instance of List State and swap the nested List Row, it no longer changes height thus making the component useless.

Just fixed it… Had to set both List State and List Row to Hug Contents inside of the List State Variant. Could’ve sworn I already had tried that 🙂 😅

I’m having this issue with buttons that include icons. I’ve made three different, and every time I want to swap an icon for the small button the icon doesn’t scale…

I think I understand what @Aalok_Trivedi wants.
I have the same need.
And as a picture is better than a long speech, here is my need.

@Gleb, maybe you have a solution.

This is a huge issue. @anon21722796

Or any transform property. Yes please! 🙏
