Hello,

I am trying to find a way to create animated flows like it appears here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mendix_aws-cloudcomputing-mendix-activity-7107695715962740736-vkX_/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

So far, I couldn’t do it in Lucid or find any online tutorial to replicate the same. Draw.io seems able to do so using the ‘Flow animation’ property.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts here. This is an interesting area to us and something we could consider, but from a technical standpoint there are a few different ways we might want to go about it if we did. I’m curious from this group is anyone has thoughts on how animated flows would be most helpful?

When you are walking someone through a flow live (do you want to see step by step, or everything animating at once and you just talk over it in steps?)
When someone is going to review a doc on their own (does this help them to be able to interpret what is happening without someone walking them through it?)

@shirad - I appreciate your detailed description above. I’m trying to make sure I understand exactly what aspects of the animation allow for “Ensure different personas can view the big picture of complex architecture, easily”. Said differently - what is it about the way the animation works (or that you want it to work) that helps make things easier to understand.

I can´t believe that this feature is in draw.io but not here

LinkedIn is full of draw.io flow animated diagrams. I regularly need to explain to my Lucid user group why we ditched diagram.net for Lucid when we traded in this unique feature. Would be great to get something similar in Lucid.
