How Do You Remove Constraints in Figma?

Last updated on April 8, 2023 @ 10:30 am

If you’re working with Figma on a project, there are times when you may want to remove constraints from an object. This can be helpful if you need to make changes to the object that can’t be done with the existing constraints. In this article, we’ll show you how to remove constraints in Figma.

To remove constraints in Figma, first, select the object that you want to remove constraints from.

Then, in the right sidebar, click on the “Design” tab and go to the Constraints section. Here, you will see a list of all the constraints that are applied to the selected object.

To remove a constraint, simply select the “Scale” option for both fields.

NOTE: Make sure to check your design’s constraints before removing them. Removing constraints may lead to distortion of your design once you resize it.

PRO TIP: When removing constraints in Figma, be careful not to accidentally delete any critical objects or artwork in your design. If you are unsure about what you are doing, it is always best to ask for help from a more experienced Figma user.

Once you’ve removed the constraints that you don’t want, you can then add new constraints or adjust the existing ones to suit your needs. To learn more about how to use constraints in Figma, check out our constraints tutorial.

Conclusion:

Removing constraints in Figma is a simple process that can be done by selecting the object and then selecting the “Scale” option next to the constraints box. Once you’ve removed the constraints that you don’t want, you can then add new constraints or adjust the existing ones to suit your needs. However, remember to check your design before removing the constraints since this might cause distortion if improperly used.
