I am trying to find a list of all the valid shape types.  The documentation here is no help.

I am trying to import a ‘ERDEntityBlock3’ but I get an error saying it is not a valid type.  So what are the valid ones?  I’m looking for something resembling a table that I can use to diagram DB relationships.

Hey Johnktejik, I’m Alec, I’m a developer at Lucid. I’m assuming based on some of your earlier questions that this is in reference to Lucid’s Standard Import (JSON) API. If that’s the case, you were really close to your answer in the documentation. If you look here you’ll find links to all the current Lucid Shape Libraries (and details about their included shapes) that are supported for Standard Import. Unfortunately, our Entity Relationship Diagram library is not one of the libraries we support at this time, but you aren’t the first to ask about it, so I’ll make sure to bring this up again with the team.

In the meantime, I’d recommend looking at either the Pool Lane block or the newly-supported Table block for your use case.

Hope this helps!
