1. Missing Fonts or Fonts Not Matching
Issue: Sometimes fonts used in Figma are not recognized or matched exactly when importing into Linearity Curve or Move. Missing fonts will be replaced automatically with Helvetica.
Workaround: Ensure the fonts used in your Figma design are installed locally on your device. This will help the plugin recognize and use the correct fonts in Curve or Move.
2. Using the Plugin on iOS Devices
Issue: Figma support on iOS is limited.
Workaround: To import from Figma on iOS, use the browser. The native Figma app on iOS does not support editing or plugins. Log in to Figma through your browser and use it as you would on a desktop. This allows you to access the full functionality of Figma, including using the Linearity plugin.
3. Importing Takes Too Long or Plugin isn't responsive
Issue: Importing may take longer than expected, especially with heavy images, causing the plugin to appear unresponsive.
Workaround:
- Please wait for a few seconds; most imports complete within a few seconds.
- If the problem persists, try importing your design in smaller steps.
- Optimize images before import to reduce load times.
4. Effects and Other Properties Like Corner Radius
Issue: Effects such as blur or drop shadows, and properties like corner radius, might not be imported directly from Figma. Workaround: Although this is the case, most effects can be achieved within Curve and Move. Simply apply them after importing using the tools available in these applications. Both Curve and Move support these effects and can replicate them post-import.
5. Single-Line Text
Issue: When importing multi-lined text, it is imported as multiple single lines.
Workaround: This is a known limitation. While the text remains fully editable, we recommend grouping the text elements after importing to better manage them in Curve or Move.
6. Layers Naming Differences
Issue: Layers may have different names in Linearity Curve or Move compared to Figma.
Workaround: Although this is a known issue, if this is a problem for you, you can easily navigate and rename layers in Curve and Move using the layers panel.
7. Image as Fill
Issue: Linearity Curve and Move do not support images as fill; images are added as masks instead.
Workaround: You can easily switch images in the layers panel to manage masks. In Curve, simply drag and drop to replace an image quickly. This method allows you to adjust and manage your images effortlessly after importing.
We're already fixing these limitations but your feedback is very important to helps us improve. If you find any other issues or need further assistance, please reach out to our support team.
