Figma is a vector-based design tool that is gaining popularity among designers. One of the reasons for its popularity is its ability to easily change measurements. In this article, we will show you how to change measurements in Figma.

There are two ways to change measurements in Figma. The first way is to use the “Resize” option in the top menu. The second way is to use the “Edit” option in the top menu.

PRO TIP: If you are working on a design in Figma and need to change the measurements, be sure to first select the unit of measurement you want to use. To do this, go to the Units dropdown menu in the top toolbar and select the unit you want to use. Once you have selected the unit, you can change the measurement by selecting the object you want to resize and entering the new measurement in the top toolbar.

If you want to change the measurement of an entire object, select the object and then click “Resize” in the top menu. A window will appear that allows you to enter new values for width and height. You can also enter values for x and y offset, which will move the object’s position.
