Corner Radius - 8 point control

Hello, We use 8 point border radius in a few projects but Figma doesn’t have the level of control we need. Example: https://9elements.github.io/fancy-border-radius/full-control.html border-radius: 55% 16% 59% 10% / 54% 7% 26% 10% We use an elaborate group of shapes to build these larger shapes but it’s a bit clunky and devs need to approximate these radius. Question: How do would you solve this?

Component overrides get broken after library publish

We’re experiencing a random problem with component overrides in our design system which consists of multiple library files. Our components use an atomic structure, where small individual components are combined (sometimes with overrides) to create larger components. The problem we’re facing We’re using some components in a design file and they have overrides applied to them. When a new library update is published, taking the new updates in the design file breaks our overrides. The component properties/variant selection is intact, even the value of the overrides are intact, however the instance would either loose border radius, or have its alignment changed or the layer name resets to the original name from the atomic component. This happens to some specific components, and not others. And this also happens randomly, sometimes some components break, while others don’t. We tried recreating the whole library from scratch with a few components to see if the problem persists, and unfortunat

Ctrl + Click function in edit mode

Greetings. I’m so used to the function of ctrl + click, which ends the current line while you’re using the pen in edit mode, allowing you to start another line inside the same shape. Basically, it does the same job as esc key, but much more convenient. But as of the new update, it actually has the same function that it does outside of edit mode: Selecting nested layers… Now I don’t know about you, but the whole point of the EDIT MODE has been isolating the selection from everything else. It becomes quite annoying when I wanna end my current line and I have to look for somewhere empty to click, in order to end the line and not select some other layer. Is there an option to keep other layers isolated while in the edit mode? I’ve been used to this function for the past 5 years and I don’t wanna go back to extending my pinky towards the goddamn esc key! Worse is when I have a picture under my lines, and it will always exits the edit mode and selects the picture if I ctrl + click to end my

On hover animation content inside buttons moves slighty

I have some buttons that have a hover effect and in the prototype there is slight movement of the content. I checked the position of the content to be the same in both instances (default and hovered) in regards to the margins and in between items I applied a “while hovering” interaction with instant animation This also seems to happen in between separate screens of a prototype for text in a header component that doesn’t have animation applied or any other interaction. Anyone has any idea?

How to Use the Wrap Feature with Figma Grid

Key press or key down trigger should exist !

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a prototype in Figma, and I’m trying to achieve the following keyboard-based interaction: When I press the A key, an overlay appears. When I release the A key, the overlay closes automatically. I noticed that Figma’s "Key" trigger only allows actions to be triggered on key press, but I haven't found any way to differentiate between keydown and keyup, like you would with standard JavaScript events. Is there any workaround or trick to simulate this behavior directly in Figma?Or would I need to use an external tool (like ProtoPie, Framer, or a coded prototype) to make this interaction possible? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

Conditional Logic - activate Button over filled out Text Forms

Hello to the Community! My problem is the following: I want to make a Login Screen and when 2 Textfields are prefilled with the correct values, the Login Button state should swtich from inactive to active. What I already did: Defined the components with the right pre-defined variables Used a boolean for the button state and linked it to the button Tried out manually in the Variants panel - works Put the button active logic into the password section, so it will be activated as a top down expirience Linked directly the textfield to the pre-defined variables, not the whole Object The logic I am using is: When User field is filled correctly, userCheck Boolean becomes True When Password field is filled correctly, passwordCheck Boolean becomes True When userCheck and passwordCheck are True, loginButton should become True For the rest, see the attachments Is my logic flawed or did I put it smth smwh wrong?

Set auto layout to auto distribute horizontally

Hi, could someone please help me. I am unable to set auto layout to auto distribute horizontally. It only let’s me do so when I specify auto layout direction. I am extremely confused by the settings in general because the first Icon is labeled Freeform which converts the auto layout to a regular frame without any indications. The top right icon does the same only it’s highlighted in blue. I also couldn’t understand Grid Beta. This used to be so you can set auto layout bi-directionally ↩︎ it doesn’t seem to work in similar way but is rather building tool in somewhat of a separate category. Also, how often do you click Align or Grid boxes vs Vertical and Horizontal gap settings? It makes no sense! =\

Strange Column snapping

Hi all, I am a newbie to Figma and I would like to get help in using columns/grids. I have created a grid in my frame. However, now, when I want to create new rectangle, lets say in the center of the frame (horizontal and vertical), it snaps to some strange position: Can somebody help me and advise how to make it not snap to this position? I just want to place it anywhere I want, maybe snap to the nearest “guide”. But not to move the whole rectanble to the top. I have all snapping disabled in Preferences. I suppose it is because I use Auto Layout instead of Column/Grid, but I cannot find any option how to NOT use Auto Layout in the right side panel. Thank you.

Sharing a Figma File. Help Please!

I’m trying to understand the process of sharing a Figma project file with another agency that I’m collaborating with. I’m a sole designer, working on my own professional plan. I don’t want to incur additional editing fees for someone needing to edit or work on my file. So, I want to understand how I can allow someone else the ability to edit or utilize my design without incurring additional costs to me personally. Is there no ability for someone outside of my plan who has a paid subscription of their own the ability to edit or use my project file without adding them to my account? How does someone go about sharing a project file without incurring costs personally?

Prototype in Figma Sites

Hi mates, I was using Figma Sites from a first date was release at Figma Beta. But I really don’t known how to prototype “Open Overlay” just like Figma Design was like. Any one known how to work-around with that. I was copy my design with prototype work-fine from Figma Design, but still can't running with Figma Sites. And when I publish, I receive this message “Interactions · Unsupported action" Really annoying that they bring many new interactions, but somehow forget little trigger but useful like “Open Overlay"

Option+Arrow Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

I have option+arrow up/down set as a custom shortcut in MacOS Keyboard settings to increase/decrease line height. And, option+arrow left/right to increase/decrease letter Spacing. This is to make it consistent with Photoshop. Unfortunately these don’t work in recent versions of Figma. Instead, it jumps the cursor from word to word, or from beginning/end of lines of text. Clearly there is an existing keyboard shortcut conflict, and I cannot find as a menu item to change to resolve the conflict. Could someone please point me to the existing menu item so that I can free up the keyboard shortcut?
