How to add text to a line in Lucidchart

After a double click on the line text field does appear.  However it only holds 4 characters at 8 pt.  How can the text field be lengthened?

I also am trying to add text.  But double clicking does not work. ?  I keep having to retype the whole thing if a change is needed

Hi Richard

Thank you for posting! I've attached a gif of the functionality for inserting text into lines. Is this not what you're experiencing? 

the double click works for me but I prefer to be able to already start typing when the line is selected. draw.io has that feature it's very convenient.

OK. When I double-click on a new line the text block locks to the arrowhead on my line and I can't seem to drag it to the the center of the line segment where I want it without dragging the arrowhead (endpoint) around. Help please.

Hi Brian

Thanks for reaching out to the Lucid community. To counteract this trouble you may want to try lengthening your line or simply single clicking to reveal the small blue box that is the control point of the center of the line and then moving the line using that. If neither of these options help please send a video or screenshot of the issue you are seeing. Thank you!

Hi

Is there a way to split the line text into multiple rows. Thanks

You should be able to use Shift+Enter to split the line text into multiple rows. Let me know if that doesn't do the trick!
