"Select all" options for mobile app to make changes to all text simultaneously

Hi @aucivil92 , 

Have you tried the following?

Select multiple objects

There are a few different ways to select multiple objects on Lucidchart documents and Lucidspark boards:

• Click and drag a box around the objects you want to select.
• Hold down the “Shift” key on your keyboard, then click the objects you want to select (or unselect).
• Hold down "Ctrl" (PC) or "Command" (Mac) on your keyboard, then drag a box around the objects you want to select—even when clicking directly on a shape.
• Hit Ctrl-A (PC) or Cmd-A (Mac) to select all objects on the canvas.

A screenshot or example of what you are trying to accomplish would definitely help to answer your question better.  

Thank you,

I think my problem is I’m doing this on an iPad Pro. But I want to select all of the red text, change it all at once, then select all the black text and make those changes. 

Tried it on my laptop and it works fine. But if you know of a way to do it on an iPad please share, because I’m on that device 99.99% of the time.  Thanks. 

Hi @aucivil92 , 

A picture is worth 1000 words. 

I can’t help you with the iPad Pro part, but have you tried using these options?

Thank you,

I’m working on a presentation of non traditional harmonious labeling for my graduate research project. I created the graphics in lucid and then inserted them into PowerPoint. In PowerPoint they were a bit too small so I wanted to bump up the text size. The only way to do this on iOS was to select each individual element and change them one at a time. On my windows laptop, I could hold down shift, select each element and then change them all at once. I think with the lasso feature it would be much simpler to encircle the elements for change instead of having to select each one. Also a view/level feature would be nice. For example if I want to label a graph in two different ways, I need to copy and paste the unlabeled graph and relabel it. If I could simply put different labels on/in different levels/views then I wouldn’t need two copies of the same graph. I’ll caveat all of this by noting this is my first time using the software and maybe I’m just not familiar enough with it to know how to do these particular operations.  

@aucivil92 Thank you for the reply and additional feedback! I wanted to add that although their isn’t a way to natively select multiple text boxes on the IOS app, on a laptop you can change all the text by selecting all the material (or in the tool bar going to Select > All) and then changing the text size.
