How to get a straight line in Lucidchart

Additionally,  here’s a useful feature for getting lines to make the most efficient connections between shapes: smart lines! 

Lines have anchor points where they attach to each shape. With smart lines, the anchor point will adjust as you move the shape.

To create a smart line, rather than dragging and dropping a line directly to the edge of the next shape, pull the line just past the edge until the shape gets the blue “halo” effect. Release your mouse, and you’ve got yourself a smart line that will make smart connections!

You can also adjust lines by modifying the line path by clicking on the line path and moving the line accordingly, your adjustments will be remembered.

You can always right click on any line and select “reset line” to clear up any past adjustments

For more information about smart lines, please review this help center article.
