Learn how to master resizing frames in Figma Design, while using constraints and ignoring constraints.

Me: *hours of looking at websites how to resize frame with content, without any luck*

This dude: "....Is basically press K and then resize the frame"

Working like a charm. Thank you!

Great job with this. I knew 99% but still got a boost! Thanks.

Wow thanks! holding down command key was what I was looking for. I was getting frustrated with how the objects start to resize on its own whenever I want to extend the height of the artboard, to add more elements.

Every Kiss begins with a "K" key, thanks so much I was having issues resizing a frame and the images inside stayed the same size. Awesome video!

[Craki_]

THANK YOU SO MUCH !! The ctrl option was exactly what I was looking for

[nimasalehi]

Auto layout have been so good that I actually forget about these constraints. Auto layout everything.

You saved my life! Thx for shortcut with cmd and resizing frame. ❤

[Sandroo]

I didn't know if Figma supported outlines (cmd+Y), that's amazing 🤩

[afrinachowdhury]

Really helpful this kind of short video. Thanks a lot.

[danamwaves]

this is awesome! is there any way to scale the height of a frame, and the images within it, without scaling the width of the frame (i.e. K won't work for this bc it scales both height and width)

[oscardeee]

While on scale mode (K) i'd like to be able to set the Width and Height through the W and H fields in the properties panel but it won't work the same as if I drag it, which sometimes can't be precise enough.

What if i had horizontal block alignment of images in a row and when resize to vertical - images to drop under each other while width gets tighter? is this possible?

[prajwalsharma]

I have a question: for example we have a frame lets say frame 3, inside frame 3 is a shape ellipse 2. When we duplicate frame 3, we get frame 4 with the same ellipse 2. Should we change name of ellipse 2 inside frame 4 to ellipse 3(or any other name) or keep the name same as in frame 3 ie ellipse 2. Won't it create any problem in future for dev handoff or any other problem?

It is very helpful for me. Thanks a lot.

Can you change the artboard design like selecting iphone and then after completing it change it to desktop?

[likoca]

Awesome, thank you so much! That is going to be super helpful!

Very Lovely video
Too fast for my taste. But content is amazing. Do you provide template of this figma file to code/design along? Presenting actual fig file will help us to understand how you framed the screens.

Is there any way to resize an artboard wihtout resizing its content with arrow keys? I hate using the mouse when I want pixel prerfect.
