Massive Org Chart Exporting

Move select documents from one user license to another

We had one generic license under which a number of documents for different areas were created.  Now we have 20 licenses and want to 'move' some of the documents from the generic license to the individual's under each area.  If we share then we cannot delete the document from the generic license because then it will delete it from the person we shared it with.  Really we want to move a document not share it.  Is that possible?

Creating a research flow diagram from data in Google sheets

I would like to see if there is a way to create a flow diagram like this one by using data directly from Google Sheets? Is there a way to set up a Google Sheet such that a diagram like this could automatically be generated?

Layers button not working when exporting to PDF

Hi I've recently started to use LucidChart and I have one concern indeed I created a button which show/hide a specific layer (which works very well in LucidChart) but whenever I export my file into PDF this button doesnt work ! And the layer aren't shown in the layer categories in Adobe... I saw there is an option to create a slide for each layers but that's not what I want even if the results would be almost the same. Can someone help me ? I add some screenshots if you need it. (Sorry the interface is in French) Also I wanted to use a tool (Image 3) to avoid overload my slide with tons of forms and texts but it doesnt work after exporting to PDF...    Thanks in advance for your answers

Update message repeatedly appearing

Hi. Recently I've begun getting the attached message on my screen when working on a chart. It appears constantly---every couple minutes or so. I may pause to think something over for a minute and the message appears. I never used to see this before. Is there a setting to turn this off? It's very annoying. Thank you for your help.

git like features for lucidcharts

Do we have something like a master file and when multiple collaborators make changes to their files we can merge them after approval in the master file? (something like GIT)? the version history has the changes sequentially and once we revert back one change we have to do over the later ones even if they were correct.

First slide in Presentation Mode always a little zoomed out

Hi May I know why the first slide I present is always a little zoomed out. For example the box is against the top in the slide. However when I present the box is not against the top. If I press next slide and back slide again then the box will be against the top. This happens also when I present in the middle of the slide (i.e. clicking the present button at the bottom). The slide I select to be presented is always a little zoomed out but is correct when I press next and back.Is there a reason for this?

How to use custom shape in Org Charts

How can I select a shape from one of the shape libraries to be used as the box shape in my Org Charts.  For example I want to use a hexagon shape instead of the default options of a rectangle. Thus far the only option I've figured out is to select option of no shape and manually position a hexagon shape for each person in the org chart.  That doesn't scale and virtually makes it impossible to make any dynamic changes that Lucidchart normally performs.

Exporting Lucidchart Slides to PNG PDF or PPT

I'm trying to export a set of slides based on a single drawing with many layers. I don't have the option to export to google slides (policy reasons) so I need to export to any other format. Is there an easy way to do this other than screen grabbing each slide? Thanks Seán

Hi  Is there a way to automatically update the main fishbone chart when I enter data on one of the sub tabs? What's happening is that I update the information on each of the subcharts/tabs but the data doesn't change on the main chart it's still showing the default chart text. Thanks.

Can't add layers using free account

I'm trying to move diagrams to layers in a created document after having done the same in other created documents and am receiving the upgrade notice. But if I moved other documents to trash then they are no longer active and I am below the 3 document limit. Because I have worked on other documents recently is this why I am getting the upgrade notice when trying to create new layers and move shapes to those layers? And do layers count towards the 60 object limit?

Passing "row position" in Google Sheet from one shape to another

Hi there I have 20 triangle shapes in a Lucidchart linked to a Google Sheet. Each triangle shape is linked to a row. Each triangle shape shows column A of that row as text. When I click any triangle shape I want to show in a rectangle shape (which would be the 21 shape in the document) the information in columns B C D and E of that row that is linked to the triangle shape that has been clicked on. Is it possible? Thank you in advance for your help.
