I have the same need. I create mermaid code using agent mode in VS Code (Claude Sonnet) and the ability to just drag and move blocks is very valuable. Because sometimes the texts or other blocks cover /hide/ overlap and there is no way to move them around. Adding transparency + move would be even better.

Hi ​@Chandran Palanisamy, thank you so much for leaving these additional details and feedback, along with your example. Your comments here are helpful to our product teams as they continue to research new product features and enhancements!

Hi ​@Zuzia S ! Indeed I fully support this feature, our team has felt the need for months now. I don’t find the current version of LucidAI usable for our use cases to build process charts because:

2. it does not respect the styling we ask it (e.g., colors, icons/images, containers, arrows and placements)
3.  the elements are usually placed in a weird way so the whole point of automated this tedious part is gone
4. it struggles to edit existing diagrams

From these pain points, one could suggest to move to mermaid.ai, which makes natural language<>code<>diagram smooth while still being editable manually - however I still find that Lucidchart gives the best cosmetic and manual control and user experience so it would be absolutely AMAZING if you guys could bring in similar features from mermaid into lucidchart (the current import of the mermaid code as image is not very useful because you cannot edit manually with drag and drop).

Thank you !!

​@Francois It’s great to see your added perspective here, especially with the detailed examples you have shared. Thank you so much for that! Specific feedback like this makes a real difference when new enhancements are being considered.
