Where is the ERD SQL export in the new Lucidchart editor?

Hi,

Does anyone know where the ERD SQL Export command went? It used to be on the Shapes panel, but it’s not there any longer. If I switch to Classic View, I can see it, but this isn’t the best…

Kind regards,
Paul.

Hi ​@PAW, ​thank you for posting in the Lucid Community and for your feedback about the new Lucidchart editor. 

To locate the ERD SQL Export command in the new editor, you can click on Search shapes and tools at the top of your left panel > Toolkits > Software & systems toolkit > scroll down to Export ERD and click on that option. 

 

You can also click on the + icon next to Export ERD to add the tool to your Document tools (so everyone on the document can access it) or add it to your Toolbar so it’ll appear across all your documents. 

 

I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions or feedback, please feel free to comment below.

In addition to going through the toolkit route like Sylvia mentioned above, you can also directly type “ERD” or “export” into search to pull up the tool when you need!

Hi,

Thanks folks - I actually found it shortly after I posted this message! Ha!

Conversely, however, this does make the interface less usable. Most people who would want to use ERDs would probably like to use such a feature. New users coming to Lucid may not even know it exists.

Kind regards,
Paul.
