Can I customize the grid in Lucidchart to represent years?

Hi @myetc8, thanks for posting in the community! Just to confirm, are you referring to the grid shown on the canvas or are you working with a template?

Would you mind sharing a screenshot to help us take a closer look? Thank you! 

Thank you so much for your response Leianne! Hopefully this explains what I’m trying to accomplish. 

Hi @myetc8, thank you for sharing that screenshot! Unfortunately, this isn’t currently supported in Lucid, but we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products.

If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience within this thread. I’ve also converted this post to an idea so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own.
 

Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:

We appreciate your willingness to provide your requests and feedback in the Lucid Community!

Thank you for taking feedback seriously! I think the only thing I would add is that the goal is to create a tool that marks years for timelines for historical events simple and useful. Creating a line with dates, which the user could determine the start and end date, with tick marks that represent time spans of either 10, 25, or 100 years apart, would be very useful.  For example, I would like a timeline that starts with 2000 B.C. that spans to or ends with 400 B.C., and has tick marks at every 100 years. 

Thanks again for taking feedback seriously!
