Hello,
I have a lucid diagram that represents the application landscape of a company. There are 900+ shapes; applications represented by rectangles that are interconnected using lines that represent interfaces.
It is a very large diagram, so when you come to add additional applications and integration you spend a lot of time reordering and reworking the layout. Which is a pain and very time consuming.
I did consider exporting the landscape, updating the code that defined the diagram and then re-importing. I can do this in other applications, and it is often quicker and less prone to errors. The issue with Lucid is that the file types for both import and export are not the same.
If I export JSON there is no information on how things are connected or the coordinates of the shapes. SVG does provide this.
Importing files has a very different file type selection - the closest being the Draw.io XML format.
It might take me minutes to export a diagram change the underlying shape code and reimport to show additional shapes and connectors. The same “in app” would take me hours.
Has anyone else tried this approach and did they find a solution to help reduce the hours of moving shapes around a page?
Thanks for your help in advance.
