I’ve been wrestling with this issue for several hours and am convinced that the problem is with Lucid itself.

I’m trying to build a process diagram from a CSV file (which is the only option for building such diagrams from an internal file). I have been following the instructions and requirements to the letter, even importing Lucid’s own provided sample file, and the results aren’t even close to what the docs say they should be. For instance:

  • Despite giving all elements the same Page ID (except for the Page element itself), the import creates the elements across several newly-created pages, so they’re not even in the same place.
  • The process doesn’t put elements into their designated containers.
  • The process doesn’t create the specified links between elements.

This tool is broken, broken, broken.

i have the same issue. I am even using microsoft co-pilot to do the spec for me and it still spans across multiple pages even though all the page ID values in page ID column is set to 1
