Hi Peter! I’m a PM here at Lucidchart and appreciate your feedback immensely. Can I read back to you what I’ve captured here to be sure I’ve parsed out all the great ideas? I’m hearing that you’d benefit from:

• One of:
  • a UML shape library for just pre-configured lines with the appropriate endings
  • an option to change line endings via the gear that appears near UML lines
• updated arrowhead sizes — either customizeable or more accurate to UML standards

Anything I missed there?

I’d also like to better understand “It is tedious to change each arrow head, or cumbersome to batch change arrows (have to remember the relationships for this action!).” I am hearing here that you don’t love changing line endings as you go because it slows you down, but going back and doing them in bulk at the end isn’t straightforward either because you have to remember what everything should be and deal with careful selection of multiple lines. Is that right?

Hi Chloe,

Yes, your understanding of my suggestion is correct, except for “updated arrowhead sizes — either customizeable or more accurate to UML standards”, where customisable isn’t the suggestion.  instead it is consistency with the other UML style sizing and proportions e.g. the hollow and filled diamonds are currently bigger than the filled arrow options.

Thanks for taking the time to respond

Thank you for your correction and insights Peter!
