I’m attempting to export a VSDX or VSX file but I keep receiving the error “An error occured. Failed to download.”

Is anyone else having this issue and unable to export?

To copy all the content to a new document:

  1. Select all the content by hitting Ctrl-A (Cmd-A on a Mac) OR by dragging your cursor to draw a box around the content.
  2. Copy it by hitting Ctrl-C (Cmd-C on a Mac) OR by right-clicking and selecting Copy.
  3. Open a brand new Lucidchart document.
  4. Paste the content by hitting Ctrl-V (Cmd-V on a Mac) OR by right-clicking and selecting Paste.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 if you have a multi-page document.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hey @cbuck! Thanks for getting back to me. I was able to reproduce the error you are seeing, but I was able to export the document after I copied the content into a brand new Lucidchart document. Would you mind giving that a try?

Hi there,

I’m having the same issue. My document has multiple pages, so I’ve tried copying the content of one page to another document and then downloading it, but I’m still getting the error regardless of whether I try to download it as a vsdx or vdx file.
