Figma is a vector-based design tool that is gaining popularity in the design community. One of the reasons for its popularity is its ease of use when it comes to working with Auto Layout. In this article, we will take a look at how to edit Auto Layout in Figma.

When you first create a new document in Figma, you will be given the option to start with a blank canvas or to choose from a variety of templates. If you choose to start with a blank canvas, you will need to add your own Auto Layout constraints. However, if you choose to start with one of the templates, Figma will automatically generate constraints for you based on the selected template.

To edit your Auto Layout constraints in Figma, simply select the element(s) that you want to modify and click on the “Auto Layout” button in the top toolbar. This will open up the Auto Layout panel where you can make changes to your constraints. For example, you can change the spacing between elements, alignment, and direction.

Once you have made your changes, simply click on the “Apply” button and your changes will be applied to your document. Figma will also automatically generate any necessary code for you so that your design can be implemented on the web or in an app.

Conclusion:

Overall, editing Autolayout in Figma is a very simple process that can be done by anyone, regardless of their experience level. So if you’re looking for an easy way to create responsive designs, Figma is definitely worth checking out.
