I want to create a roadmap for 3 years. I found this article. The image in that article (see below) shows only 1 year. Is it possible to extend it to 3 years? If yes how?

Inserting and Managing Lines in an Org Chart

I am working on an Org Chart in Lucidchart.  I can't see how to manually add a line to show some additional relationships.  In the Upper Left there is no line insert icon only drop down menus for Layout and Shapes. I also can't change the connecting lines to have end point arrows on them.Also I want to shorten the length of some of the individual connecting lines and can't see how to do that either.  I can highlight a connecting line but the only thing I get is Reset LineFinally how do I change the default settings in terms of the font type and font size?Thanks

Floor Plan Object Sizing

There is no way to see the dimensions of a floor plan object while you are sizing it.  When you click on a resizing drag bar the measurements disappear until after you have finished the drag movement.  It would be exceedingly helpful to see the measurements change as you resize the object rather than after the fact causing you to have to resize multiple times to get it where you want it.

connecting shapes more like Visio?

I'd like to use Lucidchart for more tasks relating to connectors wiring circuits etc.  However I'm struggling with the connecting shapes.  I would like the connections to be more like Visio with defining connection points and having wires to a 'bump' when they cross.  At present my connections are not very neat and tidy and the routing of wires is not well behaved.  Any suggestions on how to make the behavior more like Visio and including the 'bump' feature where lines cross? Cheers J -

Link multiple rows Google Sheets

I like how a Org Chart is linked with Google Sheets I also watched the video and read the article "Link Lucidchart Diagrams to Spreadsheet Data" I know how to map a Google Sheet row to a Shape and work with Shape Data. I'd like to understand how I can generate a full chart with Google Sheets. The task is the following. I want to do a network diagram. The inventory will be kept in Google sheets  I want to put for example servers in a container printers in another container As I add a new row to the Google Sheet I want automatically a new shape to be added to the container as I refresh the data.   Let's say that I have 2 SWIM LANES one with servers and one with printers. If I add a new printer in Google Sheets it should appear on the chart automatically on refresh. Thanks.

Moving swim lanes distorts connectors in Lucidchart

I have a large and complex chart.  I'm using swim lanes to keep things organized.   When I move a swim lane left or right some of the connectors/lines move some seem anchored to the background   Before moving the swim lane:     After moving the swim lane.  Most everything moves except some of the anchor points of connectors remain stationary.:

Toolbar scrolls out of view

Every time I click on my diagram or choose something from the menu the diagram scrolls up and the toolbar scrolls out of view rendering me unable to do anything really. I'm on a MAC. First Image shows where I start and how it scrolls diagram down and toolbar out of view. This forces me first to scroll back up to the toll bar but the diagram doesn't scroll with it.F

Version Control/Master References for Custom Shapes Libraries

Greetings  I'm wondering if it's possible to create a "Master Record" for a given shape in a Custom Shapes Library.  Basically my intention is to create a master shape in such a way that once a given shape is updated at the source the changes will be propagated to all (or selectively some) of the shape instances that reference the master from the library (within pages).  My understanding is that copies are made whenever a shape is dragged to a page which does not necessarily reference back to its source once copied.  Is there an elegant solution to this?  Thanks!

Or when I am using a tablet ?  I have tried to access my account via chrome on my tablet but  it does not work too...   Thanks for you help. Regards Mat

Keyboard shortcuts with smart keyboard for mindmap not working (latest iOS iPad Pro)

When creating a mindmap the keyboard shortcuts for tab/enter/arrows don't work. Are they expected to? When sitting in a meeting/conference session using my iPad to take notes & map out ideas is an ideal use case instead of taking a full sized laptop. I find mindmaps to be a fantastic use case for this scenario & having it work in Lucidchart would be ideal.

Edit object dimension in Lucidchart without dragging

Is there a way to edit an object's size in Lucidchart without dragging?  For example I would like to change a door size to be 24" wide.  This is sometimes difficult to do by selecting and dragging.  Is there a way to select the object and the access some sort of properties editor and then just type in the exact dimension you need?

Can you filter and org chart in Lucidchart?

When filtering an org chart for example by a department is there a way to export that filtered org chart to a new org chart.  Often I will need to tweak an org chart for just one department and it would be easier if I didn't have to create it separately.
