If a nested frame inside a parent frame has its constraints set to Scale, what is the expected behavior when the parent frame is resized to a larger dimension in Figma?
AThe nested frame maintains its original size and position regardless of the parent's resizing.
BThe nested frame scales proportionally in width and height relative to the parent frame's new size.
CThe nested frame only moves position but does not resize with the parent frame.
DThe nested frame becomes hidden when the parent frame is resized.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand 'Scale' constraints

    Setting constraints to 'Scale' means the child frame resizes proportionally with the parent.
  2. Step 2: Effect of resizing parent

    When the parent frame grows, the nested frame scales in both width and height accordingly.
  3. Final Answer:

    The nested frame scales proportionally in width and height relative to the parent frame's new size. -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Scale constraint resizes child with parent [OK]
Quick Trick: Scale constraint resizes nested frame proportionally [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming child frame size stays fixed
  • Thinking only position changes, not size
  • Believing nested frame hides on resize
