Hi,
I have 5 of the same component stacked inside an auto layout, which works fine.
However, when I replace one of these components with one of its instances which is taller, the auto layout does not grow/expand to make room for the instance in the stack. Instead, the content of the instance ends up being overwritten by the component below it.
I have searched for a solution to what must be a common issue but have come up empty handed. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.
@Doug_Stackhouse This is a similar issue I’ve run into using slots and swapping out instances of different sizes into an auto-layout.
One way I found to fix this is by adding auto-layout to the element, variant, or instance you are going to swap within the main auto-layout.
Below are 2 example files I put together answering similar questions that show the issues and some solutions. Hope this helps!
→ Swapping elements or slots in auto-layout
→ Scaling image within auto-layout
Life saver.
Thank you!
it seems, like two auto-layouts DO talk to each other (or rather Figma properly calculates them during swap procedure), while direct swap of a slot with new item slips past the almighty Calculator and the main autolayout ignores the spatial changes…
