Fix Outline Stroke

I know this was an issue on the old Spectrum forum that doesn’t seem to have any ground here, and it still is an issue.

See quick video with imported complex vectors and a simple heart made in Figma.

Any idea when this bug will be addressed? Dropping it into Illustrator is not an appropriate solution.

Hey All,

This is a long standing bug that our engineers have been continuously logging and trying to fix. This generally only happens on icons imported from other apps, where the mirroring on the points is reversed or missing.

Right now, the best workaround is to rebuild affected icons from scratch. Please note that redrawing with fewer points can also help.

While we can’t guarantee an ETA on a fix/improvements, please know that our team follows this thread and takes everything you provide into consideration.

This is so annoying

Is there any solution for this? I’ve noticed that this bug occurs only with center stroke if it helps.

Guys, I think I found a work-around that worked for me.

In my case, I wanted to expand the vector boundaries by 1px. What I found is that when I set it to 0.5px (used the “outside” option) the bug didn’t occur. Then I Outlined > flattened and applied the same process to the new vector. It worked again!

The result was that at the end I had a 1px path-expanded vector.

Hope this helps.

Nov 2021 and this still hasn’t been fixed! It’s something I have to deal with on an almost daily basis. Exporting to Sketch or Illustrator is not a real fix! C’mon Figma get your act together.

I have this problem all the time and have to use Illustrator. Is there a fix coming?

I contacted figma support about this, and the operator answered that this is a difficult issue to fix. I guess that the devs must rework the vector network from the scratch.
