Text with imported SVG shape

I have imported an SVG shape.  It is a simple house symbol.  I would like to be able to write text within the shape (as you can with the default shapes).  Is there a way to achieve this?

Text inside shapes

Creating a flow chart with swim lanes and am using same sized shapes and font size (Droid Sans 6pt) but at some point during zoom process I am clicking on something that makes everything shrink so shapes appear smaller and text that once fit inside the shape now overflows (I don't want to use the auto fit option as I want all text to be a specified size).  Have tried clicking on the various Zoom options within View tab resizing using standard zoom bar at bottom of page and adjusting Content Scale from within Page Settings but cannot figure out how to get back to my original set up.  I did wonder if my other chart had been corrupted in some way so created a new one from scratch.... everything was fine for 3hrs then I touched something that messed it up again - please help?

Drawing a half circle in Lucidchart

I need to draw a small half circle in Lucidchart and have not found a good way to do that. Using a curved line does not make a symmetrical half circle or most probably I have not found how to do it. The end result of this is to draw a circuit breaker symbol which is a vertical half circle with a small T on top.

Find document in Lucid

Many times my team will share direct links to a document (goes directly into the editor).  I can't seem to find a way from the editor to see which folder this document is in.  It would be great if there was a breadcrumb or navigation link next to the document name.  Am i simply missing this function somewhere else? This is by far my #1 annoyance / missing feature daily

SAML and JiT provisioning

We use Azure AD as our SSO IDP.  I was wondering if it's possible to allow anyone in our directory to log into Lucidchart but only license those who have been "assigned" the application within Azure. From what I can conclude from the Lucidchart documentation it's an all or nothing (anyone can login and get a license anyone can login but you need to manually assign a license or only those permitted can login and automatically receive a license). Any help or clarification is appreciated.  Thanks! -Casey

Hi Is there a way to change the proportions between if and else subboxes in alt box? I am ending up with very big alt boxes where at least one half's content takes much less space then the other. Documents look massive. Thanks! Anna

Workcell shape

During a demo the presenter added a "workcell" shape to his diagram. I was unable to locate this shape in any of the shape libraries. So how is it that it was included in his shape set but not in mine? Is there a version of Lucidchart that contains more shapes? And how would I go about obtaining this shape?

Edit shape with link to another page

Is the default text in an off-page reference shape editable? Clicking on the off-page reference shape of course jumps to page on which the shape is linked. Seems to be no way to edit the text.

Mapping website architecture

I'm trying to map the existing structure of different sections of our website and feel like this is looking like a schematic with all these lines. Is there a better way to do this? I'm not sure even what to call this. Website architecture doesn't bring up what I'm looking for. I don't need to map individual pages; I need to map what goes where.

Perpendicular lines

Hi Is there a way to force a line to run perpendicular to an object.  I am creating network diagrams whereIi have one hard wide line to represent a VLAN and then a number of icons that represent the objects on the network. i want to create lines that join the objects to the correct VLAN. What I want is for the lines to always be vertical or horizontal -  not at any other angle  . So if I move the object or resize the VLAN object I want my line ending to slide along the line.  Can i do this or is this a feature request.

How can I transfer a part of my documents (not all) to another account?

It seems that the only option is to use Backup / Restore for ALL documents not only a part of them. Please clarify.
