ERD Import Line ReRoute function

Hi @WarwickFoster, thanks for adding this post! While there isn’t an automatic way to reroute your line connections based on their relative placement to each other, you can adjust the line connection and move your line another node to avoid deleting all of your lines. (see GIF below)

Although, I would still recommend selecting all of your lines to set them to the Round style at the same time. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Thanks Amelia 

As a one off that does work easily. But when it is 20-30 lines for a complex object it is better to delete all lines and reload. Effectively This may be better as an Idea but the Delete and Reload as an automated process is the implementation of the action (or close to it).

Hi @WarwickFoster, thanks for following up with that additional context. I can see how deleting your lines makes sense for a large number of lines.

Since this is not a feature currently, we’re very interested in your feedback and want 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 as well, so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - where they can upvote it and add details of their own.

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

As a Solution Architect I often have to back translate an existing database into a physical data model (ERD). In an environment like Salesforce or Dynamics CRM this can be around 2000 tables (in some instances). Being able to bring them onto a diagram quickly to describe the flow of data is what I use Lucid for.  

I will create a representation of a physical data model which will be a subset of that larger set and then specialise that in different sub views to isolate areas of interest. being able to move things around easier adds to that.

The square format arrows are useful, but I find the square lines are harder to follow. Now that you have round corners it is easier. Being able to quickly navigate the list of available tables right now manes using Excel as I can not search in the table list. 

Hi @WarwickFoster, thank you for adding that context! For any other users that are interested in this idea, please feel free to add your use case to this thread as well.
