Resize component when I change layout grid size

Hey @Cristian_Banu – are you using auto-layout? I think that this may be the solution for you.

When you say grid in this scenario, the grid you’ve created is in a frame, correct?

If so, set auto layout to the frame. Then, select the components within the frame, and select “fill” in the right hand panel. On the frame level you can then make adjustments to the properties on the frame to suit your design.

I’m making some assumptions, so I may be incorrect in my response 😅

Hi @ksn
I’ll make a video tomorrow to show what I mean 🙂
Thanks,
Chris

Hi @ksn
I made a quick video. Basically, if you see how the components behave in the second example, that’s what I would like them to behave in the first example if I change the size of the grid (width and gutter). Basically, I wanna be able to simply change the grid size I applied to my frame, and everything that was aligned to the grid to change its position and dimensions based on the new grid 🙂

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks @Cristian_Banu! This should work, as long as your constraints are set up correctly.

I checked in with a member of support, and they recommended this page: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039957934-Combine-Layout-Grids-and-Constraints

Does this seem to help? This one is a little out on my particular knowledge set, but I’ll do my best to help further 😅

hi @ksn
Doesn’t really help 🙂 I did make some huge stuff and worked around it, basically I created my own grid as a component, repeated it in a autolayout component and attached the components I want resized, but it’s a shitload of work 🙂 It could have been a very simple task using Figma’s grid feature.
