Ability to show/reference a Lucid chart within another.  


Purpose is to combine 2 diagrams - but still show that the processes or systems are seperated.

Hey Candace

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! Although you cannot embed a diagram within another Lucidchart document you could publish the diagram and paste the link into your desired chart. This would display a thumbnail and a clickable link to the chart.

If this isn't quite what you're looking for we are always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart. 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:

 


Hello,

 

I see this is 2y old topic.

Is any news on this request?

 

I need to sketch a HLD and on it I need to link refer another diagram for each of the HLD items present on the initial diagram.

 


Hi @florin.barhala, thanks for continuing this thread. Embedding a view of a diagram within another Lucidchart document isn’t currently supported - Phillip’s recommendation of creating a simple link to (rather than a view of) the documents in question will remain the best option. One additional suggestion - it could be effective to add in a screenshot of the diagram you want to reference, then add the link to that diagram to the image itself, making it clickable. I’ve provided a basic example of this below:

Good hack which I'll use but please do this feature because it is the main reason I got the year membership as enterprise. The use case for me would be to have a company mindmap that will have everything in my mind related to TeleMedicX my startup on it. Including tasks management, products, meetings,  notes, etc.... a mindmap means my mind put on large paper! Please do this embedding feature ASAP and email me 

 

It has been 2 years. Let's get this done in 2 weeks team! I know you can do it

Another idea that I wish to see you developing is to view this company mindmap in VR so you can deliver the idea to your team much better.
