commands to draw diagram

Hello. I'm new to Lucidchart. Actually I've used it a bit but it was about a year ago.

I know that you can create diagrams by the click-and-drag method. But is there a way to create a drawing by sending in commands or specifications -- telling what sort of figure to draw and where to draw it?

That is I would want to generate such commands in some other facility and then pass the specifications in to Lucidchart to do the drawing.

Is this possible?

Thanks

--David

    Hi David thanks for your post! This is possible but only for specific types of diagrams and those specific types of diagrams require specific syntax to automatically generate them. These include:

    • Process diagrams generated through CSV upload

     

    Do you have a specific type of diagram you're hoping to create or specific type of command language you're wanting to use?
