How can I scale the cylinder properly? 1. First cylinder created in LucidChart default 2. Scale it to match my overall picture layout the scaling is out of shape and super ugly 3. I have to go to signup for free charting software create and scale it then import it into LucidChart Any way we can do this within LucidChart? I believe this is a very basic feature? I am unable to find the solution on the internet. I need to have this shape scale properly as I am creating some professional documentation. PLEASE DON'T SEND ME THE LINK ON HOW TO CUSTOMIZED SHAPE ANYMORE!!!!!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO CUSTOMIZE A SHAPE FOR A SIMPLE CYLINDER! JUST GIVE ME A PROPER CYLINDER!!!!!

In our org some people have short titles and others have long titles. My shapes are sizing themselves accordingly and the result is unpresentable.  How do I control the size of each card so that they present as well as they function?

I created an Org Chart in Lucid Chart by exporting data from an excel file.  Now I want to make changes to the excel file and have it dynamically update the LucidChart Org Chart  

My need is to draw a matrix organizational chart. I'd like to use efficiently the dedicated Matrix Org chart template but it's not clear for me how to manage multiple managers for one employee (for instance an administrative manager and in addition a business / project manager) Also how to model this properly in a separate sheet (Google Excel) that I could import ... Thanks for your help

For diagrams with smart containers is it possible to have a popup showing a specified field (e.g. a description field) if the user hovers their mouse over a container or one of its shapes?   This without any complex wizardry like adding layers with hotspots.

Can you tell me how to figure out who the author or creator is of each Lucid document?

Is it possible to link e.g. a diagram to a second diagram and automatically change the second diagram while working on the first subdiagram? Basically like a mirror diagram!

I tried to move an existing shared folder to a team's folder. When I did the move the entire folder just disappeared and I can not see it under team's folder either. Will you please help? I am hopeful that I did loss the entire folder's documents

I have been invited to a team document and have received the invitation email fine with the Join ID. I click on the link and get to the Join Team screen but when I choose to Join Team with the provided I get an error message saying that it is invalid and to contact Facilitator. Facilitator is unhelpful and requested that I contact Help Desk. How do I go about resolving this? Thank you

I like the auto layout feature of Lucidchard when adding new elements to charts what I do not like is that 1) lines do not stick to the starting positions I have made and 2) that lines does not respect elements but simply goes through these.Are there anyway to force lines to keep the original starting positing and ensure that the move around existing elements?

I've created a large number of lines all connecting to a single box.  For clarity and inspired by the Layers tutorial I added the lines to a new Layer so they can be hidden -- but now if I want to move a line to connect to another side of my box they don't seem to connect any more -- the line doesn't "see" the box or its connection points.  Is there a way to connect a line on one layer to a shape on another layer? Thanks!

I want to place the same shape in multiple layers.  The use case for this is a complex diagram where the receptor ( the user that reads the diagram ) can focus on just one layer.  But some of the shapes are used in multiple layers.   More specifically if you have a web application with two use cases and one HTTP container  then the layers for both the use cases will contain the shape for the HTTP endpoint.       

Has a shape been created for an Azure Virtual HUB?

Is it possible to set different document states for individual tabs in a document? We often group related diagrams together in a single document with each on their own tab. Different diagrams get reviewed and approved at different times so it would be convenient to be able to set status per tab.

It seems that lots of people feel that linking from one shape to another shape would be valuable. I would love to see this feature supported in Lucidchart.  Miro has it and it's made me rethink where I spend my time diagramming.   I'm a power user of Lucidchart and generally love your product but I'll be leaving unless you can support this function. 

First time user.  I am trying to create a duplicate diagram to work on it on a different page.  When I go - File - Duplicate - and go to the new page it gives me a link instead 

Hello I see a need for a shortcut to do "Zoom To Page."   Karl

Just a quick note to share with your team how much I enjoy using Lucidchart. BY FAR the best diagraming tool I've ever used. Templates are fantastic too - exceptionally comprehensive. So happy I found you guys!

I have an organization chart that goes 5 levels deep. Each node has tthe level defined as an attribute and I create group views based on this level. I see no way to add actions to the nodes in the group views.  Is there a way to add actions to the group nodes?

I am able to import some accounts without issue.  There are some in my AWS Organization though that come up with the generic error: "Something went wrong when creating one or more data sources" Is there any way to see more information about what went wrong or suggestions about what different approaches I can take. I am using a cross-account role.  It has been deployed in a consistent IaC way across all accounts so no issue with permissions / naming that I can see - other accounts work fine.The error usually takes about 15 - 20 minutes to appear.

I have been using Lucidchart and Lucidspark for myself and think its amazing. I am wanting to use it as a tool for my software development team at work but we are a financial institution so i have to complete a full information security review before being able to use your tool.  I have one question i cannot answer after reviewing your security and data documents (thank you for those by the way they helped a ton). “How is our data safeguarded/segregated/isolated from your other customer’s data?”  Just a high level answer would be greatly appreciated so I can complete this review and start using the product! Thanks so much.

I am not able to save a chart to my hard drive?

I am wondering if there is any way to disable the export feature for view-only licenses?

I created a workflow diagram and want to insert a hyper link to an external web page. I have been able to figure out how to add it. The issue I am having is I want to post this workflow on an internal web page as a document and have anyone who accesses this document to be able to click the hyper link (hot spot) and it will open the web page document. Is this possible without having access to Lucid application? I am printing/saving the document as a pdf.
