Product questions

I’m creating an office storage floor plan where we will have lots of cabinets and it will be a tight squeeze. Every inch is going to count. I want to create a shape that will be 18 x 36.25 inches. Is there really no way to get down to this level of detail? I can only drag the shape around on the canvas to adjust the size?I found this menu, but I can only adjust the shape size in pixels which is not helpful. 

Hi, I need to change the default names in Lucid cards, however the “setting” option isn't showing. The only option I have is to reorder the fields, not rename them. I have both a Lucid Chart and Spark individual subscription. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Smart features are intrusive. I am unable choose to enable or disable simple things like Tidy Up or the Hints window on start-up. This really wouldn’t be classified as an “Idea” but basically just normal courtesies extended to users of your platform - as simple as enabling grid lines or snap to settings.

I created a simple Marmaid ER diagram but the ‘Direction’ command is not recognized. Is this a bug or missing functionality. Either way, can this be enabled?Sample code:---\\title: Transactional Data Object Lineage---erDiagram direction LR SOMLEAD ||--|{ SOMOPPTY: Nurtures SOMOPPTY ||--|{ SOMQUOTE: Matures SOMQUOTE ||--|{ SOMCONTRACT: Books SOMQUOTE ||--|| CMPROCONTRACT: Redlines SOMCONTRACT ||--|| BRIMCONTRACT: Generates CMPROCONTRACT ||--|| BRIMCONTRACT: References BRIMCONTRACT ||--|{ ENTITLEMENT: GeneratesThanks in advance!-Tiest

I'm a new Lucidchart user. I've created some terrific charts and now want to include them in a PowerPoint slide deck. For my situation I find it best to include the charts as saved images by selecting the "Show as Saved Image" option on a PP slide thru the PP addin. HOWEVER the images are a bit blurry especially the text. Is there a way to indicate the image quality when selecting the "Show as Saved Image" option?  I notice that I can export or download a chart directly from Lucidchart (via the browser) and select the image type (jpeg png etc.) AS WELL AS the print quality (300 dpi) etc. I want to associate the same quality when selecting the "Show as Saved Image" option from a PP slide!

Is it possible to export to PowerPoint?

Hello,I am a novice user of Lucid and would like to ask the community: how do you all get your flowcharts to look good when transferred to a Microsoft Word document or Powerpoint? Once I create a flowchart, I keep having to adjust all of the shape sizes to accommodate larger text, and it’s really a guessing exercise.I’ve looked into the integration but my company won’t allow me to install integrations, though I’m going to speak to them again. I need a non-integration fix. Please advise! I hate it when stuff doesn’t look good or the resolution of the text or scale is off.

It seems to me that there is a serious flaw in the way storage is managed in Lucid products: If you delete content within a board or delete whole boards (and empty the trash) it has no effect on the percentage of storage space you have available. I have tested this by deleting large numbers of images from a board and whole boards: 12 days later and no change to the storage I have available. The work around seems to be that you must delete image files from within image manager. These files are still present even if they have been deleted from boards or were part of boards that have been deleted. This seems ridiculous.  Couple this with the fact that you have to delete files from image manager by individually clicking on each image to select (all while a pop up regularly closes the window to tell you that you’ve “run out of free shapes”) and the user experience becomes very poor. If there’s a fix for this I’d appreciate hearing about it.  Thanks

My suscription is active, but I can’t export my documents.  

I have a document in “My documents” within Lucid and I have shared with the client and they have accepted the invite; however, when I go back to make them the owner, that is not an option.  What am I missing here?   

Hello I need help this is my org chart, I am trying align all the lines highlighted, when I move shapes to the right or left side they bounce back still causing the unaligned line ... 

I have a diagram (like an architecture) and I’m having problems selecting some of the relationship lines. I can select the newest ones I’ve created, but not older (last week and prior) lines. I cannot click select nor click/drag select, but when I click/drag it does highlight the line but only until I unclick. I do have layers, one involves zero relationship lines, the other shows all objects BUT lines (selected all lines and created a layer). Any assistance is greatly appreciated! 

When I am trying to open my own document I get the following error:Sorry you (xxx) don't have access to this document. You may be logged in to the wrong account.I am the owner of the document I am logged in correctly I even tried with incognito mode. The document is not being shared with anyone with any permission.Can anyone help me with a fix

How do I get rid of this layer? I cannot copy/paste, nor can I remove the layer as it is grayed out. When I attempt to right click the red box to remove layer it disappears.  

Earlier in 2025, I was able to right-click on a document and select copy. Similarly I was able to use the “...” menu to do the same. there was a COPY option. I do this daily to copy what amounts to a template so I can save that copy in a folder organized by client name and project. Lucid seems to have taken away these copy options. Is there a configuration that returns that ability. No “save as” is not a proper solution. I do seem to be able to ctrl-c but its easier for some users to right-click and select copy.

I setup my Lucid account to login using my Google account. However that automated login functionality is blocked by firewall at my work.  How could I update my account to allow me to login with a separate name and password outside of Google? thanks

How do I write superscript and subscripts in a box (as m2)?

We have an enterprise Lucid EDU subscription, and I’d like to enable integration with Jira.  Jira prompts that I have to have a Teams subscription to do that.  Anyone else come across this?  Obviously I can’t modify our enterprise sub :) 

I have already added my LucidChart diagram to Powerpoint. The diagram has several tabs and I need different tabs in different slides. However, when I open my Powerpoint presentation, it resets all the slides to be the same tab. How do I make Powerpoint keep the correct tab for each slide?

I have the add-in installed for Microsoft Word, and can log in and browse my diagrams from within Word and select one to bring in - however, all I get when I do this is the following message, “ There was an issue when inserting the image (Microsoft Error GeneralException). Please try again.”.  Any ideas? 

I can no longer Export any of my new or previously created documents. I was always able to do it in the past. Now they just say ‘it is taking too long’.

This seems to be a bug. I can't figure out where else to report it so I am posting here in the hopes it will be helpful. I have a high-fidelity full-page screen shot that is a 5.9MB PNG. If I copy/paste it into LucidChart it shows up and I can move it around the canvas and manipulate it but LucidChart is trying to "save" it in the background. The save always fails eventually and I got an unhelpful error "There was a problem saving" and then the image just disappears. However if I upload the image rather than pasting it works just fine. The image is too large to attach to this post but here is a Dropbox link.

I have added the table shapes to my LucidChart. I can insert the default 3x3 table and can add text to that table. However, I cannot get the advanced table menu to appear to allow for adding a column or row, etc.Right clicking on the table only exposes the general context menu. What am I missing? 

I’m trying to build a tree diagram with information in an Excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to import this information and dictate to LucidChart how to build the diagram? I have already tried the data import which doesn’t seem to offer the functionality I’m looking for, unless I’m missing something. All I get is a miniature version of the spreadsheet at the side of the screen.
