Auto Layout in Figma is a powerful tool for creating responsive designs. It makes designing for multiple screen sizes and orientations much easier, by automatically adjusting the size and position of elements to fit the canvas.
However, there are times when you may want to turn off Auto Layout and manually adjust the size and position of elements yourself. Here’s how you can do just that.
Step 1: Select the element or group of elements that you want to turn off Auto Layout for. You can do this by clicking on the element or group in the Layers panel.
Step 2: In the right-hand panel (Properties tab) click on the “Auto Layout” icon. This will bring up two options: “On” and “Off”.
Step 3: Select “Off” from the dropdown menu to turn off Auto Layout for that element or group of elements.
Step 4: Now you can manually adjust the size and position of your elements as needed.
Conclusion:
Turning off Auto Layout in Figma is a simple process that only takes a few clicks. Just select your element or group of elements, click on the “Auto Layout” icon in the right-hand panel, then select “Off” from the dropdown menu. Now you can manually adjust your design as needed!
