Hi there

I found I'm not able to resize the sequence diagram generated by UML markup after 'Build'. I have some old diagrams that can be resized but lost the capability after I click 'Build'.

Hi Jayce

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community and thank you for the heads up on this issue. This is something our devs are currently working on and I will continue to provide information here as it is made available to me. 

In the meantime if you select the UML and right-click to Ungroup the shapes you can then use the select all feature (Cmmd/cntrl + A) and resize all of the shapes from there. 

Hope this helps--please let me know if you have any additional questions. Cheers!

Hey Phillip 

Thanks for getting back. I tried it and it seems ungrouping is an irreversible operation which blocks me from reediting the UML markup. Hope it can be fixed soon :). Thanks!

Any update on this?   I experience similar if using the "Ungroup" workaround the underlying UML markup is lost.

So a person needs to use the "Ungroup" cautiously.   i.e.  Don't forget to save a copy of your URL markup to the side (or be prepared to dig it out of a revision).

Hi there

I'm also looking forward for a fix. The ungroup-resize workaround implies a number of inconsistencies to fix that makes the whole functionality time saving useless (but thanks for suggesting it!).
