complex connector lines

I would like to have connector lines that show two separate flows.  In my case I have a network diagram that shows the direction of the network flow but then I'd also like to be able to indicate the data flow which could be the opposite direction.  Is it possible to make a custom connector line or to annotate the connector line with another line?  Here is an example where the "data flow" line is the smaller dotted blue line.

Blue striped lines across all of my diagrams

LucidChart today started to show blue striped lines across all of my diagrams including new diagrams. Do you know what I can do to stop these striped lines. I tried Chrome and Safari -- same issue. I am running Lucid from a macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 on a MBP 16".   Thanks in advance for your help.

Enterprise Account not importing Visio file

I am using an enterprise version of Lucidchart and when I attempt to import a Visio file (.vsdx) I am receiving an "unknown error". I made sure the file is compatible (Visio 2019). I also tried this in a non-enterprise account (free personal account) and the import worked fine.

Org Chart Collapse Expand Feature Use in View/Comment Mode

When I share my Org Chart visual in View or Comment mode with other members in my team the other users are unable to expand/collapse like I do in my edit view. Is there a way to enable this or is this feature not available yet?

Shapes are miniscule

Something happened between starting my lucidchart drawing and now.  When I drag a shape onto my canvas the shape is super tiny.  So tiny that it appears as a single dot.  So tiny that I cannot even grabhold of the corners to expand it. I am able to continue working by copying and pasting my existing shapes but it is slow tedious work.  What did I do?  Or more to the point how do I undo it?

BUG: Adding diagram to GoogleSheets loads indefinitely

Hello We have a Lucidchart diagram we would like to add to a google sheets document. We hoped to use the Lucidchart integration for google sheets to select a diagram and insert it into a google sheets document. However after clicking insert on the diagram preview the progress bar just loads indefinitely no diagram is inserted after waiting over 10 minutes. To explain my process: I granted Lucidchart access via the integration for google sheets => Selected the diagram I wanted to add => It appeared correctly in the preview window => I clicked insert. I expected that the diagram would appear on my google sheets document after a few minutes but it just hangs on the loading dialog. No diagram is inserted in the google sheets document. See screenshots below: Is there a workaround or fix for this? Thank you

storage capicity is not decreased

Recently I upgraded lucidchart to team 2-3 members. Because lucidchart is always not sufficient to a storage I wanted to get a enough free storage. So I deleted many pictures and documents but after more than 10 days of doing this storage is not changed. How long should I wait to be changed my storage capacity?

What shapes are available to free Lucidchart accounts?

I have a chart that I've shared with coworkers giving them editing capabilities. I have a premium account and I can't tell which shapes are available for them to use with their free accounts. How can I find out which shapes are available to them without having them click on each library and try them out one by one?

How can I get CSV schema of mySql database to be visualized in ERD .

Hi everyoneI'm learning LucidChart and trying to visualize MySql database schema in new Document. For this I use dump of mysql schema in database.sql file (with no data). Then I'm converting it to a bunch of csv files (https://www.rebasedata.com/). When I'm trying to upload it into the Lucidchart it gives me parse exception. What am I doing wrong?Thank you.

Filter smart shapes to return one property by a different property

I want to display a list of values for one property on a smart shape that is filtered by a different property on the same shape. So if I have a Container with shapes with properties that return the arrays Job List = [$25$50$26] and Ship By Month = [232] I would want the function to result in [$25 $26]. So far I have gotten to this code which isn't working =FILTER(CONTENTS."Job List"@"Ship By Month"=2) What am I doing wrong?

LucidChart with Action and Confluence cloud

I have the Lucidchart confluence plugin installed and we have been using it for years.  I am designing a new confluence cloud instance and I want to create a Lucidchart flow diagram to get everyone's (my bosses) buyoff on it before I start work on it. What I was trying to do is create a flowchart with actions that take you to other Lucidchart diagrams.   This all works great in Lucidchart but when I click on the action when I'm in Confluence I just get a blank about box.  Does that mean this doesn't work?  Or is there some configuration I need to do on the confluence side?   Thanks

LucidChart - Why should a team of 1 have to upgrade to a team account just to get automation?

I think the title pretty much speaks for itself.  As a small business owner it would be wonderful to do something as simple as link data.  I don't have a team but yet the only way to get these features is to upgrade to a team account.  Why not offer an individual option for automation and integration functions so a team of 1 can function as a team of many without having to pay for additional help?  Especially during these trying times when even a small additional expenditure can mean the loss of one's business.

Getting Hotspots to Work with Link to Layers

I have read the tutorial and the community help on this topic and I still can't get a hotspot with link to another layer to work. What I'd like is to show the first column and then "turn on" successive columns. When I try to link the first column/vertical swimlane to the 2nd column and press Shift/Command + all that does is make the content bigger. I looked for Sync Visibility as suggested in the community posts but did not find it in any of the menus. I am stumped but still excited to get this to work.

Custom SVG shapes loose outlines

I have created a few custom shapes in Lucidchart by designing them and then exporting the document as an "SVG with transparent background". The document is exported and looks perfectly fine but once I upload it into my custom shapes library some of the outlines will be lost. It has only happened with two shapes and none of my other shapes have had that issue. I don't know what is different or what went wrong with the two designs.  See the attached images for the design vs what is created when shape is imported.

Struggling to import data and organise it automatically?

Not sure if someone's available to talk as I have noticed there's no contact details anywhere to speak with support. I have a column for Unique ID (i.e 1-100)Name job title and reports too (references the unique ID of the colleague they report into) Can this be set up so Lucid Charts sees the info and automatically builds the flow charts for me as it doesn't look like I can or is there something I am missing? Is there a number I can contact someone or arrange a call back to better describe what I have and what my needs are?   Kind Regards Liam
