What happened to 'add multiplicities'

I have an existing UML diagram with multiplicities, but the ‘add multiplicities’ option that used to appear when I created a connector has vanished, so I’me forced to copy and paste existing ones. Where has it gone?

Lucid GenAI Diagram Generation BPMN/ERD/SEQD

Dear Colleagues,I am seeking to create a GenAI pipeline with Copilot and Lucid, to capture and document information from meetings (TEAMs, etc.) and extract pertinant information for BPMN, SEQD, and ERD diagrams using Lucid GenAI (copilot) interface.As an example, using a structured prompt, it created the following (below).With Mistral, etc. some LLM/transformer environments offer both a user and system prompt. The system prompt allows both setting parameters (ie: temperature, etc.) for the whole session, and also prompt engineering to fine tune the LLM. This can then affect all session instances for the current user. Azure AI studio further allows you to create custom “copilots” for deployment to a user community, that will be specialized for their particular needs (like NADCAP, IEEE, ASME, ISO, etc. standards).Is there a system prompt or other means to fine-tune the Lucid/Copilot implementation to accomplish more specialization?Thank you

I can't add connector lines in LucidChart

I think there is some setting turned on ...or off on one page of a LucidChart drawing I’ve created.  There are multiple tabs to the drawing, but this issue is only happening on one tab.  My cursor looks like a star of four arrows versus a pointer tool and I can’t figure out what I’ve turned on or off. I can’t draw lines between boxes.

How do I remove gray space/border (or space in general) around my LucidChart canvas?

Hi, I have two (potentially related) issues:I cannot figure out how to remove the gray space (border) around my document. I read a similar post, and someone responded that zooming in or adjusting the scroll bars could resolve the issue. I have tried this, as well as modifying document settings.In Infinite Canvas mode, the gray space goes away, but my project is far down on the canvas. When I move my project up, the vertical scroll bar at the right readjusts, so my project remains in the same location within the canvas.Hopefully this is a quick fix, thanks in advance.

Can multiple flowcharts be exported as PDFs without exporting each individually?

I have about 25 flowcharts, some with multiple pages.  Is it possible to export all of them to a single PDF or even multiple PDFs in one file?  I can get Adobe to combine all of them.

ISSUE - we have a diagram with BPMN-inspired arrows but the endpoints seem to have changed in Lucid

We have been using Lucid to draw ERD's of our applications. We've always used the arrow endpoints that contain a v-shaped form on top of the line and the horizontal line shown across the line. I am taking over this project from a colleague and I just noticed that we cannot select these arrow endpoints anymore. However, our entire diagram is modeled with them in mind so I cannot continue linking our entries in the ERD now.Can you please let me know how to get all previous arrow endpoints again?Additionally, we also used the icon in the top right corner to indicate that a certain model was finished or still in progress etc by including an emoji. I also cannot seem to find that setting anymore. Did it move or was it simply removed from the options?

How do you reduce space between nodes in a mind map?

Is there a way to reduce the amount of space between nodes in a mindmap?  The spacing is far too much making it difficult to see a lot without scrolling or zooming out to the point where it becomes difficult to read.

Interchanging between Lucidspark and Zoom

I would like to move the already existing Lucispark file into the Zoom Whiteboard, have the team contribute and annotate, whether during the Zoom Meeting or after and then make any changes and then move it back to Lucidspark. Using the Zoom App Store add-in for Lucidspark only allows your team to view whilst you are in the meeting.

Why are templates and visual activities not showing up in my Lucidspark document?

When I open a Lucidchart or Lucidspark document, I’m used to having a list of system templates. And in Lucidspark, I’m used to being able to pick from several visual activities. However, when I checked today, I only see one template (one that I created) under All Templates.Missing system-provided templatesIn addition, visual activities are not available for my Lucidspark document.Missing visual activitiesI have tried on both Chrome and Firefox browsers. The issue is present in old and new documents. Is this a known issue? Are there any workarounds?

How to show "Status" and "Estimate" on cards within my roadmap?

In Lucidspark it used to be that when selecting a Status (In Progress To Do etc.) it would show up on the card in the roadmaps I created. Recently I noticed that Status and Estimates no longer show and you have to click into the card itself to view. Is there a way to get these to show on my cards again?

Jamboard import deprecationUpdate

After Dec 31, 2024, the Jamboard import tool and editable imports will no longer be available in Lucid. At this time, Jams will be auto-converted to PDFs and can be located in your Google Drive folder.  However, you can still continue your work in Lucid with these alternative methods:Import a PDF of your Jam to Lucid with the PDF import tool.  Once you import it, click Extract thumbnails to add the PDF as an image.  Upload the PDF as an image to view Jamboard files directly on the Lucid canvas. You can use either PDF option, then, add stickies and build off of previous work. For additional information, refer to this Transition from Jamboard to Lucidspark article from our help center. If you have any questions, please let us know in this thread!
