I have an existing UML diagram with multiplicities, but the ‘add multiplicities’ option that used to appear when I created a connector has vanished, so I’me forced to copy and paste existing ones. Where has it gone?
Answer
What happened to 'add multiplicities'

I found the issue. At some point I switched from using the ‘Class’ object to a ‘Block’ object (both look the same on the screen). I only get multiplicities if at least one end of the connector goes to a Class.

Hi
These steps should help restore or clarify the functionality:
1. Check Connector Settings
- Select the Connector:
- Click on the connector where you want to add multiplicities.
- Shape Options:
- Look in the properties or format panel on the right side of the screen to see if multiplicity options are available for that connector.
2. Enable UML Shape Library
- Ensure the UML shape library is enabled ->
- Click + Shapes in the left toolbar.
- Scroll down to UML and enable the UML shape library.
- Use connectors from this library for UML-specific features, including multiplicities.
3. Use Manual Text Boxes
If the multiplicity option is not available, you can manually add multiplicities:
- Select the connector and right-click.
- Use Edit Text to add text near the connector line.
- Alternatively, place a text box near the line and type the multiplicity value (e.g., 1..*).
4. Reset Board or Clear Cache
- If the feature worked previously, it could be due to a temporary glitch:
- Save your work and refresh the Lucidchart board.
- Clear your browser cache and log back into Lucidchart to see if the feature returns.
If none of the above resolves the issue, try troubleshooting tips here: Troubleshooting: Images – Lucid.
Hope this helps!
