Using Org Chart shapes in other diagrams

Hey Tom

Thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! You certainly can copy/paste your Org Chart shapes within Lucidchart and Lucidspark. Make sure you double click into the Org Chart select and card and use Ctrl/Cmmd + C and Ctr/Cmmd + V.

You could also create a storage place of these separated cards on a separate page in Lucidchart or Lucidspark for easier use or copy and paste the entire Org Chart into Lucidspark. Hope this helps -- let me know if you have any other questions!

Does this functionality still work? I want to generate my org chart from data and then copy them out as normal shapes for further editing.

Any time I copy a shape it creates a new org chart containing that shape. 

Hi ​@nathaniel.bullock, thanks for adding to this thread! You can certainly generate an org chart using data.

To get started, I recommend reading through this resource to learn more about importing exisiting org chart data. As a best practice, we recommend building your org chart by importing data if:

• You have a data source with your org chart information.
• You want the ability to replace or refresh org chart data to make updates.
• You have a larger organization that requires frequent or complex chart changes.

Would you mind clarifying what you’re hoping to achieve by copy/pasting your org chart shapes? What further editing are you hoping for? There may be a better solution depending on what you’re trying to achieve! You can always further customize your org charts, and I recommend this resource for some great tips on how to do so.

Happy to continue helping here!
