Hi
You can disable automatic line connections by toggling Line Connections off in File > Page Settings > Line Settings. Clicking on this will stop lines from automatically making connections
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
Thank you for the quick response. I don’t see a Page Settings menu option in my file? I see Document Settings and a Line Connections toggle but that removes too much functionality. I still want the dots to show to connect the elements, I just don’t want it to do that thing where it tries to predict the next Shape?
Hi
We don't have a dedicated setting to disable just auto-shape prediction at this time.
However we will take second opinion from Super supporters and if possible, we can add this as an idea for future enhancements.

Automatic line and shape prediction has complicated the ability to create custom flow charts with multiple shape types. Turning it on and off would be a benefit
Hi
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
As mentioned previously by
Cheers!
The recent “feature” of automatically predicting and connecting line activity causes me to spend a lot time erasing unwanted artifacts. I often have to move shapes out of way in order to place lines where I want them.
Please allow this auto prediction to be disabled. It really shouldn’t be a requirement.
A contributor above suggested disabling line connections, which is not what this is about.
Hi
Thank you for following up and my apologies for the inconvenience this is causing in your work process. Unfortunately, it is currently still not possible to disable the prompt to add the next shape. We appreciate your willingness to provide your requests and feedback in the Lucid Community. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Cheers!
