Recently I moved from Adobe XD to Figma and I got to admit that I’m really digging it so far.

One simple but annoying issue I was dealing with was frame resizing. Since in Figma artboards are frames, I was changing its height back and forth as soon as the UI length changed. By doing it in the same way I used to on Adobe XD I quickly realized that some items moved together along with the frame because of constraints. That, of course, was not de desired outcome.

Well, I recently discovered that by holding Ctrl while you drag and resize the artboard, it ignores element’s constraints set-ups. In addition to that if you hold Ctrl +  Alt the resizing will be performed proportionally.
