Please see diagram below. If I start with the top 3 boxes and want to resize the middle box the result is the middle example where the lines move with the resize. What I would like to have happen is the bottom example where the lines stay in place when the box is resized. Currently I have to manually move them back into place. 



In this example it was easy to just re-position the 2 lines to their original place manually. However in complex drawings with lots of lines this is incredibly frustrating. Hopefully someone can help.



Thanks!



 



Hi Brett 


To create a line that moves independently from a shape toggle off "line connections" in your Page Settings (File > Page Settings). Turning off line connections will allow you to move a line in isolation by clicking your arrow keys. However lines already connected to shapes cannot be moved in isolation. You can find more info on how to use lines in Lucidchart in this Help Center article: Work with lines. 


Hope this answers your question!
