figma concept - ix Figma Library

[sn0wcat]

User story

1. As a designer
2. I want / need to design the screens of the application using Siemens iX templates in figma
3. So that product owners can make decisions together with the industry partner.

cc: @danielleroux @silviowolf can you help here? Could we give the student team a preview version of the open source version or the siemens one?

@shahraz1998 @lamara11 Let's track the question about figma here.

Isn't it just the open source library linked at the bottom here? I downloaded it but as far as I know Figma Professional is required to use libraries properly

@IngoSternberg those are sketch libraries not figma libraries :)

Hi @sn0wcat, @Sabo2k, @IngoSternberg, I am not sure how the working mode between Siemens and students is set up but I see 3 ways to provide the libraries:

Provide Figma guest accounts with editor rights for the students

• students would get direct access to iX libraries but would also be forced to work inside Siemens’ Figma
• to be clarified: booking of possible costs for the editor licenses

Export iX libraries and import them to another (student’s/univesrity’s) Figma

• not easy to handle, libraries have dependencies, this dependencies need to be re-linked after import
• library updates are hard to apply, need the same export-import procedure

Provide iX libraries via Figma Community libraries

• that’s the intended way we want to provide our library for the open source community
• to be clarified: legal issues, check if it works with linked libraries
• updates are easier than the import-export procedure but not as easy as working directly inside the Siemens Figma

We could also set up a meeting to discuss and clarify the options.
