Little Figma tricks that saved my time
Being a Product Designer, your tool is your superpower. When I switched from Sketch to Figma I felt a little handicapped. I vividly remember struggling to deliver projects on time. I had a hard time using Figma so I spent my free time looking for little tricks.
Here’s a list of some tricks that helped me design quicker and more efficiently.
1. Auto Space anything and everything.
Starting of with the easiest trick that you might have already known. Figma has a feature that auto spaces items for you.
Simply select all the shapes or groups you would like to space equally and click on the little blue icon in the corner. Once clicked, Figma will auto space the selected items equally. You can also easily adjust the spacing amount on the design panel on the right.
Before this feature I would spend a lot of my time arranging groups individually. This was extremely time consuming and inefficient.
2. Resize instantly.
Next trick is about resizing anything. Whether it is a shape, frame or more. Easily resize without having to do the math.
