Using Lucid for simple engineering diagrams

Question

Hi, I build electromechanical systems for HVAC. I do not need to use CAD as it is overkill for what I am looking to accomplish. I purchased Lucid as it was explained to me as a MAC equivalent to Visio. I’m having issues importing imaged representations of the devices and challenges creating representations of terminal strips, simplistic wiring diagrams as the features lock to a grid system. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

It is possible tocreate a custom shape libraryby either modifying existing shapes or uploading your own - you can use this to create objects to represent device componentsand use those shapes across your documents.You can also create custom templates with these custom shapes and libraries to streamline your work.Did you have trouble with any of these features?
