Aft all Can you blow out flowchart in Lucidchart please? Say I want to do a high-level process map whose various steps I can click into to expand into a more detailed process map? Thank you very much!

I have created a landscape flow chart that now needs to be printed in landscape to attache to a policy for review.  How can I convert and break up into several pages of portrait from landscape?

Hi I would like to provide names to shapes and groups (perhaps using custom data) and would like these data to be exported as SVG element IDs. Can someone let me know if this is possible and if so how? If not is there a workaround where a given shape/group is guaranteed to have the same SVG element ID even if other shapes/groups are added removed or modified? Thanks!

When I hover over the document in "documents" I see completed chart but when I open the document it is only the template - how do I get to the chart I have saved

I switched over to using LucidChart after I stopped using a Mac and OmniGraffle.  I was able to successfully import most of my existing OmniGraffle drawings but would also like to import the stencils (i.e. shape sets) that I also bought for that app.  These come with the extension .gstencil (often itself inside a ZIP).  Is it possible to get these stencils into LucidChart and if so how?  Attempts to import by dragging & dropping or choosing the file all fail.If you need I can supply example files that I've tried to import. Thanks

I may have missed it in the documentation... how would one control the format of a number resulting from a formula?

Hi there. I have a SQL Server instance with two databases: RAW and STG.There is a bunch of raw data in the RAW database There are a bunch of tables on the STG database  There are a bunch of stored procedures on the STG database that pull data from RAW process it and dump it onto STG.Through these procedures the RAW and STG databases are linked. I was hoping Lucidchart’s ERD import tool would import these relationships but that does not appear possible. Am I missing something?

As I build a chart e.g. an ERD diagram I will find the need to scale the content to fit a specific page size e.g. letter.  I don't want to scale certain items e.g. page header and footer elements such as last edit date/time and page number.  If I add those items to the master page they still scale whenever I scale content on other pages. Am I missing something?

Hello So I copied a project charter details and edited one of the documents to delete sections but know both documents have deleted the section. I need one file to have all the sections. How do I get the information back?   Best Wishes

Hi  In the Menu AdministrationUsers   I create a team  (IT-Technologies)   .   Tell me how I can create a shared folder associated with this team and the teams folders appears automatically  to the users who are members of this Team   I rename a team in the menu adminstration . The new name  doesn't appears  in the menu document  in my account (It Departement) 

Range implies that you could select and show multiple tabs that you specify but I can only seem to show one tab. I've tried things such as 789  and 7-9  to show those 3 tabs but in both cases only tab 7 appears. Tested on chrome and safari.

Is there a way to save the cropped part of an image without keeping the entire image that it was cropped from?    

Lost all my diagrams.  My account was disconnected so I resubmitted a license request. After getting access again all of my diagrams are all missing.

Hello all I'm new to lucid chart love it !  Today i'm experiencing an issue. I uploaded excel data. Then added some text from those data in a standard shape ajusted the text size and color etc. Then saved that shape in My Shapes to be reussed. Then I was starting with this standard shape to create new one dragging it to my chart then dragging data into it. So far so good. Though today i wanted to modify the content (fields) showing in each task and modify text size...I was thinking it would update all the task that was created using the shape model but its not... Do I have to do all over recreating a model task with the right setup for text size etc then dragging again the data I want to link to it ? Or is there a better way to change the display of a series of tasks linked to the same data base. I've tried with COPY STYLE / PASTE STYLE not working... To better understand see image attached. If for example i want the number to be

I have been using Lucidchart for a few years.  Today I created a timeline document but there is no Shapes Panel.  I have Views -> Shapes Panel -> Icons Only selected but no panel is visible.

Does Lucid Chart have a plugin that can import C++ code and produce representative UML diagrams for it?

Hello I am a new user to LucidChart and I love it so far! I tried a few templates and eventually  I settled on the "Interrelationship Diagram" document for my current project. I would like to try something new here. I want to be able to "Add Action" to the arrows not the boxes! I want to link each individual arrow to its own page that explains in detail the underlying relationship conveyed by that arrow. Is this possible in LucidChart? If not then what is the closest that I can get to this?

Hi I need to resize radio button and drop down list but I couldn't seem to do this (see highlighted in screenshot below). I can only resize the fonts of the texts in the control. Let me know. Tina Foo

I've put together a very big file. However that's how it has to be. Every time I try to put it as a PDF or any other kind of file it's 118 pages. I am trying to scale that down. I'd rather have it as a PDF the size of the doc. I could possibly get it printed out on a large printer. When I try to save it as an image the resolution is so low you can't read the text. I'm stuck. The only place it looks right is on a URL but I don't want to leave that exposed as it's got sensitive diagrams on it. How can I fix this? 

Heres what would be cool: Having a google sheets document data-linked to my lucidchart diagram. Having my lucidchart diagram embedded into cloud-based Confluence (atlassian) If you update google sheets it should sync changes over to the lucidchart diagram in confluence.   Here's what happens: I update google sheets. Nothing happens in confluence The only way it seems I can get the document to run a sync on the linked dataset (so that the changes propogate to confluence) from google sheets is to open. Is there a background refresh that could happen to achieve what I need?   Notes: Confluence embedded diagram is set to auto refresh. It is however I don't think that without the lucidchart diagram open the diagram will update the data set.  Under the data-linking dataset configuration auto refresh is set to 30 seconds. Again I don't think this takes affect until the page is actually open f

I want to cut a drum in 2 hafs. Is possible to edit and to cut and save?

I am laying out a database using ERD using entity relationship shapes.  I have some tables that are linked to many other tables (for example a User table and just about every other table has a LastUpdatedBy which points to the User table).  It's a lot of lines connecting back to the User table.  Plus I have not gotten into adding multiple sheets.  Is it possible to add a some sort of a reference to the user table without drawing a line back to the table but the model knows that it's still linked? 

I think it is possible in lucidchart to link a shape to another shape on the same process map (not link to another page) but I am not finding any information on how to do this. In the case of a really horizontally lengthy process map I would like to click on a Yes or No option and then it takes me all the way down the page to the next step applicable for that option. In other words eliminate the scrolling and trying to visually follow the line to the next step. Is this possible and if so can you please tell me how to go about it?  Thanks!
