This is a cool feature of Figma, but in the frontend world it's the type of thing that makes Figma not a great tool for UI design because it's hard to translate to UI frameworks.
- CharlesW 3y agoIs it not as simple as using a plug-in to export to SVG, Lottie, Swift UI code, or whatever?
- ricardobeat 3y agoWhat does that even mean? Designers can create hard-to-implement UI using plain shapes and lines, vector networks don’t change that. And, we have had full SVG support for ages now.
- coldtea 3y agoYou're not supposed to (or to expect to) translate a vector drawing to "UI frameworks".
- spiderice 3y agoI mean, you could expect to be able to translate from your UI design software to your UI framework. Not sure why you're creating that limitation.
- coldtea 3y agoBecause the "vector networks" and vector graphics editing are for the graphic design part of Figma, not the UI design one. You don't just draw whatever random vector shape and turn it into UI. You create UI elements and arrange them in UI related containers (grids etc) for that. The "vector drawing" is for the decoration of the UI, not for its definition.
