Hi Bill

Can you post a screenshot of what you are trying to do? 

Anyone have any suggestions?   Or does Lucidchart not auto create more items?   i.e. they need to be manually created?

Hi ​@res927 thanks for your post! 

In order to quick-add a line and shape from an object you should be able to do so by clicking on the round blue nod that appears when hovering over the shape, which then shows the previewed line and shape. When a shape is already present in that direction, a new branch will be created. In this case, as a next step, copying and pasting the shape then dragging the line from the “parent” shape quickly achieves what you have in mind. As such: 

You can find more information on lines in our Help Center article.
