Not sure if that’s a bug or it’s intentional but after adding auto-layout to a group of objects the size is displayed as Hug x Hug instead of showing the width x height. I think that’s a bit weird and it’s not very helpful, but I wanted to know your thoughts 🙂
Yes ~ I’ve received similar comments: our developers complain that they can’t directly view the numbers of the frame on the design drawing. I don’t know what can help them go back to the past 😭 😭 😭
Thank you for making me feel not alone ~
This is my question How can the viewer see the dimensions of the elements directly on the design rather than the constraints?
Yes, our developers are also asking me for a solution！！！ 🥲 🥲，I have absolutely no idea
Im a dev and I used the number written on the right side → inspect → properties Hug(***px)
I’m a developer.
It’s very inconvenient because the function that I used before doesn’t work without any problems.

Yep, my devs are complaining aswell.

I do not know why this issue is not treated as important.
Figma’s core value of being able to develop designs as they are is being undermined.
Our team is considering changing the design tool if the problem is not solved. Other teams have similar opinions.
Will there be no feedback?
yeah I’m dev & I just figure out this post lol
As a developer, I can also confirm that I am seeing “Hug x Hug” in the dimensions’ tooltip. On the right side panel (Properties) the real dimensions are though displayed. This is unfortunately a stain on Figma’s usability…
Yup, getting complaints from my dev team too requesting me to find a way to disable that 😦
@Figma_Support please do fix this asap
It’s a weird default for sure, but in the HxW toolbar, you can change Hug to (fixed height)(fixed Width)
My developers are also constantly complaining about hugs; not sure if related.
I’m a dev, and I have no idea what hug is supposed to mean in this context. A colleague mentioned that it might mean Huge, but even though more descriptive, it doesn’t quite help.
The sidebar does show proper measurements, so not all is lost, but it’s weird/annoying.
Same issue. Commenting just to keep the thread alive
How is this not fixed? The information is as usefull as displaying nothing x nothing or apple x banana. Why display it at all then? Noone can use this information.
Considering the fact that it still shows that the elements have padding in the sidebar it was always hug even before hug was a thing…
I’m a CPO and this crap cost a lot of nerves for my team. Fix it ASAP and you make millions of developers really happy.
Yea, thats painfull, please fix it 🤯
This seems like such an easy fix…c’mon Figma! 🙏🏼
As an engineer/developer, I can say that it’s actually quite handy. What I understood from my experience so far, Figma started showing an auto-calculated value (either hug or fill) instead of showing an absolute value (like 400px). So, when you introduce spacing correctly at the wrapper components, you don’t need to worry about wrapper components size anymore.
The developers can even copy the styles directly from Figma and don’t worry about inconsistencies between the design tool and the output.
I love it!
Any updates or feedback?
+1, showing AL constrains is completely useless information. Although a simple workaround for developers is to have inspector panel open which shows the actual size.
