Fill an image with Crop is a very helpful option. Here is a quicker way to access it

1. Select a shape/image element
2. Hold “⌥ Option” keyboard and Double click right mouse
3. Move/resize the image to adjust its position

Group

When resizing a group, its child elements will scale as you would expect vector artwork to scale.

Frame

When resizing, a frame’s bounds will be resized independently from its child elements. So each elements can have different constraints.

We can use this component for any state of loading, from 0 to 100%.

1. Create a parent frame and make sure “Clip Content” is checked.
2. Create a child frame with auto-layout applies for a text layer.
3. Change text to define different loading states when using.

The fastest way to bring an element to a dedicated position, by paste above on layer.

1. Copy an element with “Copy + C”
2. Select a layer
3. Press “⌘ + Shift + V”

1. Navigation to the Assets tab
2. Search for a Symbol / Component you want to replace.
3. Press “Option + ⌘”

Along with duplicating an element, we can copy the style. It’s super helpful when we want to overwrite an element in a component.

1. Select element you want to copy. Press Ctrl/Cmd + Option + C to copy element’s style (color, shadow, border radius,…)
2. Select destination element, Press Ctrl/Cmd + Option + V to pasted

Every time we add a new text element, Figma set the default color to #000000, which is very dangerous when we don’t pay attention to change color. Because it’s not in our color palette.

To set the default color for our text.

1. Add a new text with a color we want.
2. Go to the Menu “Edit -> Set Default Properties”
3. Done. Now every time we add new text, the style match without Design System colors.

1. Build your layout block
2. “⌘ + C” any image, or on web, right click and select “Copy image”
3. Select your block, shape, vector.
4. Press “⌘ + V” to paste image.
5. Repeat as necessary
