In Figma, what is the primary function of Auto Layout?
In Figma, what is the primary function of Auto Layout?
- To convert designs directly into functional code
- To create 3D effects within the design
- To animate design elements for prototyping
- To dynamically manage alignment and spacing based on defined rules (correct)
How does using a 'Component' in Figma enhance the design workflow?
How does using a 'Component' in Figma enhance the design workflow?
- It enables the reuse of a design element across multiple instances. (correct)
- It defines a specific file format optimized for complex designs.
- It allows for the creation of hidden layers for private elements.
- It provides a shortcut for quickly exporting multiple assets.

Study Notes
- The Properties Panel in Figma adjusts size, position, and constraints of elements.
- Auto Layout in Figma automatically aligns and resizes elements based on defined rules.
- A Component in Figma serves as a reusable design element.
- Figma cannot directly animate detailed motion graphics like After Effects can
- Figma's main advantage is that it is a web-based tool for real-time collaboration.
- To change a Frame's background color, use the Fill option in the Properties panel.
- Figma is primarily used for UI/UX Design.
- The default file format for saving Figma designs is .fig.
- Frames can have their own constraints and properties, unlike Groups.
- To add a comment in Figma: press C on the keyboard and click where to comment.
- The primary workspace in Figma where UI design is created is the Artboard.
- Pre-designed UI elements that can be reused across multiple screens are called Text alignment.
- A tool used to define interactions and transitions between screens is called Hype scale
- Constraints determine how elements respond when resizing.
- Leading helps position and resize objects in a structured layout.
- Prototyping defines interactions and transitions between screens.
- Variants are a technique to create interactive states within a component.
- Auto layout automatically adjusts spacing, alignment, and resizing.
- Vector Editing is the process of modifying paths and shapes using anchor points.
- A Frame is a fundamental building block in Figma used to organize elements.
- A Component Library is a set of related components that maintain design consistency.
- Boolean operations are a technique for combining, subtracting, or modifying shapes.
- Rich Text Editing allows applying multiple text styles within a single text box in Figma.
- Justification is the process of aligning text evenly between left and right margins.
- Typography describes the visual style of text, including weight, style, and spacing.
- Line Height controls the vertical space between lines of text in Figma.
- Font Weight describes the visual weight of a font, such as light, regular, medium, or bold.
- Fixed size is a text property in Figma allowing text to fill a fixed container and remain inside the boundaries.
- Inter is the default font used in Figma when no specific font is set.
- Letter Spacing refers to the space between individual characters in a text.
- Font Style is the method used to make text bold, italic, or underlined in Figma.
- Text Case (Uppercase) converts all letters to uppercase.
- Auto Width allows text to automatically adjust within a set width.
- Paragraph Spacing controls the spacing before and after paragraphs.
- Text auto resize automatically adjusts text size to fit within a designated frame.
- Hold Shift while resizing a text box to maintain proportional scaling.
- Auto height is the text property that forces text to stay within a set width and wrap automatically.
- A Wireframe is a simplified UI design version focusing on layout and structure.
- A Grid system structures elements using rows and columns for alignment.
- Plugins are prebuilt tools that enhance Figma's functionality.
