Resize shapes to fit text automatically

It would be great if you had a setting for shapes to resize based on the text entered. Something you could turn off or on if you’d like. Or at the very least, a way to edit the text box within the shape like you can in Visio.

ERD Fails to import with relationships showing

I am unable to find out how to import a Database into an ERD.  It says in this help "You can then drag the database tables from the shape menu onto the canvas. If you have properly set up the primary and foreign keys, when you drag related tables onto the canvas, Lucidchart draws relationship lines automatically." This it does NOT do.  I have the ERD set up and showing correctly in both MySQL Workbench, and in DBeaver and it shows the relationships correctly.  When I follow the instructions it does everything except add the relationship links.  The CSV file does include the relationships they are just not working in Lucid. <SNIP></SNIP>The entities are all correctly listed in the ERD Import pane Also is there an easy way to add all tables - adding one at a time for 199 tables is tedious and liable to errors as scrolling is terrible.

Using multiple Google accounts to import Google Jamboards

My first attempt at importing Google Jamboards from my Google Account worked great! But now I need to import more jamboards from DIFFERENT google accounts - but I don’t see how to establish additional connections to Google (or turn off the first one in order to connect to a new google account).Does Lucid support simultaneous connections to multiple Google accounts?Help! I don’t want to lose my other jamboards…!

Published URLs are prompting for login

When publishing a Lucid chart the URL is redirecting members of my team to login to Lucid to see the published document. However, these folks don’t and shouldn’t have Lucid accounts, they just need to view the document. The links work fine when using a private or incognito window. If it matters, we’re using Okta SSO for those of us with Lucid accounts.

Disable Auto Hyperlink

Unsure if I've accidentally turned on a setting or if a recent update has caused this to behave differently but basically every time I type things such as "a.datetime" it instantly converts it into a hyperlink which links to "http://a.datetime". This isn't really that big of a deal and more of an annoyance since I can remove the hyperlinks individually but it'll be appreciated if anyone knows how to disable this feature. An added note which I might as well mention being that Lucidchart sometimes randomly adds a space when I'm typing. This one is more minor but I've noted that it still hasn't been fixed. Below will be the aforementioned hyperlink issue.

Component to navigate pages in LucidSpark

I am trying to build a hub diagram with additional pages that have deeper dives on topics. I would like the main diagram to use something like the quick tool to “go to” a page from a link on the diagram but can’t seem to find a solution for how to navigate between different pages within a LucidSpark.

Copying content between templates

Does anyone have a best way to update the layout of something without having to completely redo work? I tried a couple templates/layouts for a site map-style item I am trying to create and found an option in Lucid that seems like it would work best - an org chart template.I already have an existing document with valid content but it is using the org chart template I like.Now that I know what template/layout I am trying to use, is there a suggestion for doing a bulk export/import of the text within the shapes of the original version so I can use the new template?

Lucidspark export to multi-page PDF, with embedded links

Hello - I’ve got a whiteboard workshop that I run which has 5 separate frames on the board. At the end of the workshop, I’d like to send a PDF output (with functioning embedded hyperlinks) that has each frame on a new page of the PDF. In this instance, there would then be a 5 page, well formatted PDF to share with the attendees. I thought the export to Google Slides might be an option, but the hyperlinks aren’t coming through (only a static image on each slide). Doing a print to PDF just grabs the whole board.  Searching help I think it might work for Lucidchart, but not Lucidspark. Am I missing something?

Creating a CSV template based on a Mind Map to re-import it

Hi guys!I have been scratching my head multiple ways how to accomplish this without success, tried different ways : (I have this Mind Map template in Lucidchart: It looks great as a template.So I exported it as “CSV of shape data” in order to re-use it and add more connections like that: I looked prior to the documentation for the CSV format here https://help.lucid.co/hc/en-us/articles/15927090927508-Create-a-process-diagram-from-CSV-import and I tweaked that CSV to have only these columns: And then I tried to re-import this CSV into Lucid Chart in order to get the same Mind Map -- this is for me to test the import works so I can work around this template and add more things to it:I do it through Shapes > Import data > Process Diagram > select the CSV but what I am getting is this type of design instead of the original very nice design Mind Map: Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or what’s missing, please? Thank you!
