Hello guys, not new to Lucidchart but haven’t been able to find this feature if it exists, I have a very large canvas I plan to export the whole thing as a PDF but would also love to be able to set sections of the canvas for individual smaller exports, sort of how Artboards work in Adobe Illustrator. Is that possible? 

Attaching a diagram of what I mean, the white is the canvas, each red outline is a portion set for individual exports. 
 

 

@Marcus, depending on the PDF settings you are downloading, you can customize various elements of the file's format. You can crop your document before downloading by selecting "Custom Crop" to customize the area selection that will appear in your downloaded PDF file, which addresses your desire to set sections for individual exports. After selecting your crop settings, click "Download." You can find more information on this topic on the Lucidchart support page. Let us know if that works for you.


Good afternoon ​@Marcus,

If you want to export a specific selection into a PDF, you can do that using the custom crop option in the export. I did this by putting my sections into containers (so I could visually see the sections I wanted to export), and then I export and pick the option to “custom crop”. You can see those steps in my screenshots below. Let me know if that works for you!
