#FigmaTip Roundup 10.0 highlights practical features that make everyday design work faster and cleaner. Inspired by Charli Marie’s independent review of Figma, the post shows how shortcuts, automatic cleanup, selective property copying, flexible image fills, and vector networks reduce friction compared with tools such as Sketch and Illustrator. ## Faster Layer Arrangement - **Command + Left Bracket** moves layers backward, while the corresponding bracket shortcut moves them forward. - The shortcut mirrors Photoshop’s controls and avoids manually rearranging items in the layers panel. - Figma’s menus display keyboard shortcuts, making them easier to remember. ## Automatic Cleanup of Groups - Figma automatically deletes a group when all of its contents are removed. - This prevents empty groups from accumulating and keeps design files organized. - The behavior addresses a common source of clutter in Sketch documents. ## Selective Property Copying - Designers can copy all properties from one object or transfer only specific attributes. - Individual properties include fills, fonts, and strokes. - This makes it easy to reuse a successful style without overwriting unrelated settings on the target shape. ## Image Fills Instead of Masks - Imported images are placed as fills inside rectangular shapes. - Cropping, tiling, and positioning can be adjusted through the fill settings. - This avoids creating multiple masks merely to size or manipulate images. ## Complex Shapes with Vector Networks - Figma’s vector networks allow a point to connect to more than two paths. - This differs from traditional vector tools and supports more complex shapes. - The feature can reduce the need to switch to Illustrator for advanced vector work. The roundup presents these small workflow improvements as evidence that learning Figma’s built-in behaviors can make design work quicker, cleaner, and less dependent on other applications.
