Miggi presents the new vector point box transform controls, letting you resize selections of vector points as a box instead of nudging each point manually. This makes symmetry tweaks and proportional adjustments much faster and fills a gap in Figma’s otherwise excellent vector tooling. It’s the kind of unsexy but high‑leverage improvement that will matter more the deeper you are in vector-heavy files.

The Glass effect is now generally available, and Miggi introduces a few updates: add Glass to any object, shape, or text; design Glass with non-uniform corners and precisely round each corner radius; use the Splay property to control how light bends around an object’s edges; and apply variables to Glass properties to easily connect to your design system.

Another cool Figma Draw technique from Miggi that I wasn’t aware of. Until now, I was achieving this effect in an old-school way by flattening a copy of the object and then adding an outside stroke.

Miggi shows how to use the Cut tool like a pro.

Miggi joins Build, Launch & Earn to explore what’s possible when designers start thinking (and building) beyond the mockup. They talk about workflows, play with tools in real-time, and look at how this shift opens new doors — for freelancing, launching products, and building more value into your client work.

Somehow, I didn’t realize how powerful the pattern fill is in Figma. Another reminder from Miggi that you can select any source you want to be a pattern, and it will live update. You can control the pattern type, scaling, spacing, and orientation.

The Shape Builder is a newer vector tool added to Figma Design from Draw. First, Miggi shows how to use it to easily cut up a shape with a path. Next, he makes a yin-yang symbol with it in just a few seconds.

Miggi: ​“Figma Make is coming to Figma’s free education teams. Students and Educators can now use Figma’s prompt tool to help take designs to functional coded prototypes! Those already on the education plan will require re-verification to continue to use free education teams and access to tools like Figma Make.”

Professor Miggi walks through using Figma Draw to detail an endoplasmic reticulum to visualize a plant cell diagram.

Miggi shows a new Figma Draw feature. You can now take any flattened vector path and offset it to expand or retract it.

Miggi shows how to be more experimental and expressive with Figma Draw features like progressive layer blurs, texture, and a custom brush. Learn to pair these with Smart Animate prototyping, and you can come up with some novel effects.

First, that illustration from Miggi is very cute. Second, I have no idea how these talented minds at the Figma Draw team made all of these complex visual effects exportable to SVG. Mad respect!

Miggi explains how to document your design work using Measurement and Annotation tools.

The new curved connectors mode for right-brained people. I’ll stick to my neatly organized ​“elbowed” connectors.

Miggi breaks down his favorite features in Figma Slides, including automatically changing text color for accessibility, choosing slide templates from other decks, grid view, slide numbers, live interactions, and more.

Cool page curl prototype by Miggi. Don’t miss the page turn animation on click.

Miggi explains and shows the new export options in action.

Miggi shows a wildly creative application of boolean groups to vector networks.

Miggi shows three updates to frame presets in UI3: the first frame dropped onto a blank canvas will land at 0x0y coordinates; when clicking on the canvas to add a new frame, Figma will default to the size of the last-used frame; when using the frame tool, quick-add indicators will appear beside and between frames so you can quickly insert additional frames.
