If you wanna make a sticker effect outline for your vector illustration. Use offset vector in @figma Draw. Here is how 👇#figmatip
You can right-click on a gradient fill in the gradient panel to redistribute gradient stops evenly in @figma.com Design. (This used to be triggered previously with a double click.) #FigmaTip
Looking forward to Schema by @figma.com Tuesday October 28. Who's joining? @discolu.bsky.social? @miggi.me? schema.figma.com

If you want to change the rotation origin on an object in @figma.com Design, select the object and press ⌥R (Alt R) to bring up the orientation point, and move it to a better spot for that perfect rotation point. #FigmaTip
In Figma Design, press control when right-clicking to see all of the objects / layers underneath your cursor to select objects out of view, behind other objects. Another reason to name your layers 🫣. #FigmaTip
Your Friday reminder that the pattern fill tool in Figma is an absolute bop. Select any source that you want to be a pattern, and it live updates, and control the pattern type, scaling, spacing, and orientation. #FigmaTip

In @figma.com using shape builder tool to make a yin-yang symbol, fast. Select the objects and press M to use shape builder.
A simple way to get started with @figma.com Make. In this example, I go from bespoke digital clock design to working publishable site. I can even point click and prompt or adjust specific aspects of the output.
In @figma.com Design you can easily cut up a shape with a path using the shape builder tool, without moving over to draw! 🤯 Just draw the path you want to use to "Cut." Just select your object and path and press "M," and click your regions.
Beginning today we will be rolling out @figma.com Make to higher ed and bootcamp education teams. We will be requiring folks who have verified previously to reverify their education status to gain access. For more on new edu verification: youtube.com/watch?v=fy4f... www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwTI...

Made a beat maker and sampler with @figma Make. Will be sharing out soon bit of the process.
Made a lil @figma.com stencil using a mask layer to play around with the new scatter brushes (that dropped today!) in Figma Draw. (and a lil beat to go along with it on my OP-1 field).
In @figma.com Draw, you can now manually type in variable width stroke values, tab through variable width stroke nodes, and multi-select and edit them by holding shift when selecting.
Also! You can now also simplify your complex vector paths and reduce nodes with the newly added simplify vector tool in @figma.com Draw! I was super stoked to demo this on the Release Notes live stream!
Offset vector paths now available in @figma.com Draw. You can now take any flattened vector path and offset it to expand or retract it. It even lets you round out those sharp edges.
Learn to prototype experimentally with some of the new Figma Draw features like progressive blur, custom brushes, and texture effects: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTe9...
