I have a Marmaid code from ChatGPT for a flowchart. How do you transform that code to a diagram in Lucidchart?

Lucidite

I am excited to share that Lucid has released the ability to create a diagram using mermaid code syntax! We support 8 different diagram types including: flowchart, sequence, class, state, C4, gantt, and entity relationship diagrams. Try it out for yourself or learn more here!

I’d like to edit a mermaid diagram like a normal Lucid diagram, move blocks and connectors around, add text, etc..

I have to use ChatGPT uses draw.io to convert Mermaid to XML, then import that XML document to Lucid, then open and edit that messy diagram.

Can you add a feature to automatically convert mermaid to lucid and make the output appear similar to the original?

Hi @Bill.Stout ,

Thanks for sharing your experience and request! At this time, Mermaid diagrams created in Lucid can’t be fully converted into editable Lucid objects in the way you described. I completely understand how valuable it would be to bring in your Mermaid code and then be able to move shapes around, adjust connectors, and style the diagram just like a native Lucid chart.

We’re very interested in this feedback as we continue to improve our diagram-as-code features. I recommend adding your idea in our Product Feedback section of the community (with the Topic Type = Idea). If a similar request is already there, please upvote it and add your details. This helps our product team track interest and prioritize improvements.

In the meantime, the draw.io XML import is a helpful workaround, though we know it isn’t ideal. Thank you again for raising this, and please keep the feedback coming!

Hi everyone!

Jumping in the thread to share that you can now generate editable Lucid shapes from your Mermaid syntax! 🎉 Copy your syntax and paste it into your Lucid document. The result will be native, editable shapes that you can format and move around freely!
