I use lucidchart for modelling a lot at work and find it really great for creating and managing lots of models.

However my work has a requirement to use code based tools - i.e. diagramming tools that enable us to use the code in markdown files like plantuml or mermaid.

It would be great if Lucid Chart supported exporting to an industry or defacto standard like mermaid.

Hi everyone! 

I’m a product manager on a team that’s working on our Mermaid feature within Lucidchart.

I’d like to hear more of your Mermaid feedback on this Lucid Community Post. Also, I’d love to chat directly with you more about how you’d like to use Mermaid in Lucid! Email me at egrundvig@lucidchart.com and we’ll get some time set up!

I would appreciate a feature in Lucid that allows exporting diagrams as code, such as in the Mermaid format.

Hi Lucid team! I’m a staff engineer for a publicly traded AI banking company. We use Lucidchart and Lucidspark extensively across our product development & engineering department, but since our overall documentation strategy has shifted to AI-assisted, not being able to export our diagrams into a language that is easy to include direct in code to provide context LLMs has been diminishing our adoption. Having this capability would be a huge help for us to do all our diagramming directly in Lucid and then have that ability to feed the results to AI. Thanks for your consideration!

+1 on the ability to convert mermaid diagrams into editable lucid diagrams.  I use LLMs to generate starter diagrams and then want to embellish and modify them using the regular Lucid Chart experience.  This is the only way I’ve found that allows me to convert LLM output to charts.  Not being able to edit them outside of code mode limits the usability of this feature as I’m stuck with what is generated.

Using Azure DevOps means that sometimes I need to upload a Mermaid-format diagram. Embedding isn’t always feasible due to the security concerns. It would be great to be able to export in Mermaid language, at least for simple diagrams.
