Hi everyone,

I'm using the Figma Desktop app on Windows (v126.6.12), and I've noticed something that's been bothering me.

Previously, whenever I clicked the Gap value in an Auto Layout frame, Figma would show a list of common spacing values like 4, 8, 16, 20, 24, 32, etc. It made changing spacing really quick.

Now, when I click the Gap dropdown, I only see:

• The current value (e.g., 216)
• Auto
• Apply variable

The preset spacing suggestions are completely gone.

I know I can manually type values, but I really liked having the predefined list since it was much faster and I didn't have to remember or type the spacing values every time.

Has Figma removed this feature in a recent update, or is this a bug or setting on my end? Is there any way to get the old preset spacing dropdown back?

I've attached a screenshot for reference.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm trying to build a UI/UX agent that is capable of writing to Figma, currently I am using an npm package to start up an mcp server (figma-developer-mcp) and was confused when I first saw there were only 2 tools.

One to Get Figma Data, and one go Get Images.

I've got my code based agent using a Claude model to read my existing forms pages fine, but as part of my agent I'd like to be able to accept input from another agent, which should create some wireframes for me and update/sync automatically via tools I expose on my UI/UX agent.

I could not seem to find anything online, tutorials I've watched have been using IDEs like Claude or Cursor and setting up the MCP there, and they seem to have the ability to write to figma.

While using a code approach to connect, it doesn't seem possible.

Maybe I am missing something, does anyone have experience with this please?

Okay, So I have just had a basic hands on with Figma Motion. Seems pretty neat. Personally, I have been a huge fan/pro user of Smart Animate and Prototype in figma.

I want to animate a frame such that animation triggers only when cursor enters. Can I achieve this in figma motion? If yes, how? Tried searching the web but I don't see anything related to this.

I am currently using Base44 for vibe coding. I want to expand to properly ship apps and websites, and make money. I recently stumbled upon Figma. Which would be better for app/web design, launch, etc, and are there other alternatives that work?

(I'm broke so budget friendly suggestions would be appreciated)
