Set default frame spacing

When I duplicate frames (which I do a lot), the duplicated frame appears 40px to the right. I would like to be able to adjust that value myself eg set it to 200px.

Why?
When showing sketches to other stakeholders, the screen looks cluttered with frames that are 40px apart. For them, it can be confusing since they are not working daily with Figma. Therefore, I always have to adjust the spacing myself.

How do you people present for other stakeholder? Have any tip? I mean, I can always show in the “prototype” mode but then you can not move around components whilst talking or even take notes directly on the frame (not comment).

A few ideas…

1. Wrap all the frames in an auto layout and adjust the spacing between items. Then anytime you duplicate a frame it will automatically give you the right spacing.
2. Select all frames and distribute horizontal spacing, then modify the spacing between frames while all are selected
3. Just manually move them

Hey guys just wondering if there’s a method to set up the default distance between frames. It seems that currently it’s set to 40 and I hoped to get a larger distance. I got this question because it’s kind of hard for me to connect adjacent frames in Prototype mode when I zoomed out to see the whole canvas.

Thanks!

Exactly. Also need a bit of space to create connections without cluttering too much.

Agreed, 40px is too tight – setting a default would be a great solution

Would love to have a way to set the frame spacing like we have now with the nudge amount 🥰

It would save me a lot of time to be able to set a default spacing between frames without having to wrap them in another frame and use auto layout.

This is a must have feature. Very useful to be able to set a default. 40 is just too little.

Still need this feature! Would be super super helpful. 40px is not enough and I use duplicating shortcut all the time.

I would love to be able to set it by myself.
Not only 40 is too small, but also different frame sizes require different spacing. I personally tend to put larger desktop-size frames further from each other, than mobile app frames.
