building @figma draw. tell me all of your feedback — we're only just getting started!

Had a lot of fun designing some alternate app icons for Glass, all done in @figma Draw! Read more here: https://t.co/4DFATqpJui

@RealSkyHartman @figma Hm, can you say more what you mean by "quickly editable" — is it that the endpoint dragging behavior is different, or something else?

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@RealSkyHartman @figma …a 1px line snapped to grid fills one exact pixel row, rather than half of two pixel rows, which would rasterize as a 2px half-opacity line).

Flattening a line layer converts it to a vector layer, which renders strokes as centered.

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@RealSkyHartman @figma Hi! If you flatten this, it will render its stroke centered as you'd expect.

Longer explanation: this is an interesting quirk of line layers (vs vector layers). Lines render their strokes to one side (an old decision that allows them to perfectly align to the pixel grid — …

@derciojds @conne_psd @ilyamiskov Thanks!

(We actually launched a shape builder tool earlier this year! It's here, while in vector edit mode: )

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@conne_psd @ilyamiskov Hi! I'd love to know what tools you're missing for logo/icon design, if you have any specific requests :)

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@andrei_iancu_ @figma Hmm not that we're aware of — want to DM me a screenshot or video of what you're seeing?

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@rogie @WesleyBancroft @byamine__ @olegcoada I'm in!!

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@danielsun_ui @Krisleedesigns @figma Hey, these should work as SVG (both the texture effect and the new brushes)! If you're seeing something not exporting well as SVG, I would love to look into it if you can send me an example!

[˗ˏˋ rogie ˎˊ˗ @rogie]

We just launched a brand new brush type in @figma: Scatter brushes! So proud of my incredible engineers on getting this one out the door and in your hands.

I made this art using them and it was fun as hell.

@ZachACole It's still option+click if you have the pen tool active! (Hit P while in vector edit mode)

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

@rogie Here we go innit!!

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

All credit to @rogie the SVG filter mad scientist, and Yassir, his effect rendering eng partner in crime. All I did was act as PM driving them crazy with my insistence “keep going, it HAS to be SVG-able!” 🤭

[miggi from figma @miggi]

Made a lil illustration in @figma draw with dynamic stroke and texture effects and text on a path. I dared to paste the SVG code into @CodePen ... this is what happened...

Spoiler alert... It worked! @rogie @lbudorick @maxvoltar you super amazing brilliant beautiful people! This is delight!

[𝕞𝕒𝕩𝕧𝕠𝕝𝕥𝕒𝕣 @maxvoltar]

Watch myself, @rogie and @lbudorick go into the nitty (and definitely) gritty details of the new Figma Draw, as we explain more about how the nearly 2 dozen features came to be, and how we ourselves use them for our respective use cases. #Config2025 https://t.co/G18nUDXb8R

@liquiddensity @crypt0taku @meshtimes_ @figma If you shift+delete in Figma (“delete and heal”) they’ll stay connected!

If you’re the type of person who geeks out about their design tools, I highly recommend you attend/dial in to watch this deep dive I’m doing with @lbudorick and @rogie on Wednesday. https://t.co/2k7QxVri5n

[Lauren Budorick @lbudorick]

I'm going to be on the @figma #Config2025 main stage with @rogie @maxvoltar talking about what our team has been working on for the last 7 months (the most energizing work of my career!)
