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

YES please

+1, Framer has this and Pen Pot also has this. I don’t know why Figma is so lacking behind on this front.

It looks like this topic is overlapped with this: Use percentages for heights, widths, paddings, gutters in auto layout | Figma Forum

+1, ​@djv would you be able to merge this into this thread as well: Autolayout should support percentage based widths | Figma Forum

I solve it by using grid autolayout and stretching a frame to for example 2 out for 5 blocks. Then I get proportional scaling. Not ideal but also works.

Gonna go ahead and +10 this. Is there anything in flight on the dev side to implement this? As said in numerous posts, this is one of the most common ways apps/CSS define sizing and autolayout perfectly lends itself to this concept.

This must be the number one requested basic ability lacking from the program. +1000

Its interesting because I think the devs/designers of the product KNOW and deeply understand the utility of this improvement, and on the surface it seems “easy” if only because the fields for specifying sizes can take inline math (ex. “800/2”), so I’m sure there is some technical consideration making it more complex. 

If nothing else I’d love to hear, even in an overly technical way, why this isn’t a simple add, given how frequently its been requested.

I join the assembly. This feature will be really useful in relation to responsive design.
