Diagramming worth a thousand words

Need a diagram, process chart, quick page-layout, website wireframe or graphic design? OmniGraffle can help you make eye-popping graphic documents quickly by keeping lines connected to shapes even when they're moved, providing powerful styling tools, importing and exporting Microsoft Visio files, and magically organizing diagrams with just one click. Whether you need a quick sketch or an epic technical figure, OmniGraffle keeps it gorgeously understandable.

New layout engine

The new Graphviz-based layout engine built into OmniGraffle 5 allows for faster and more varied automatic layout types.

Bézier lines

Curves are beautiful and we've added even more in OmniGraffle 5 with the inclusion of Bézier lines. Add control points to your lines and then swing them around to create the sinuous lines you've always wanted.

Mini inspectors

We've put the most common inspector controls at your fingertips with OmniGraffle 5's new mini-inspector. Change object size, location, fill, stroke and other key attributes right at the top of the document window.

Download

What's New

Latest release: June 04 2012

New Features

  • 64-bit mode: If you’re running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), OmniGraffle now takes advantage of 64-bit mode, providing substantial stability and performance improvements. This has changed the minimum Operating System Requirement to Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.
  • A dynamic Quick Look preview generator has been added to OmniGraffle, which brings back the ability to Quick Look files in the Finder while no longer writing out the preview to the file (impacting performance when autosaving and versioning).
  • Stencil searching has been greatly improved to help you find stencils or objects in stencils that you have installed.
  • Shadows have improved their rendering, particularly when zoomed in.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for Zoom In and Zoom Out have been changed to match the iWork applications.
  • When OmniGraffle is unlicensed, the right side of the document titlebar should indicate that it is in trial mode, and how many days are left in the trial.
  • OmniGraffle now sports a new icon to bring it more into the family of our other applications.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where overlapping orthogonal lines snapping to magnets could render one or more of the lines unselectable.
  • When dragging an image from a web browser to a canvas, the image should now land under the mouse cursor and not off the canvas to the lower left corner.
  • Fixed a bug when editing text and clicking on the canvas that would make a jump to the wrong spot if the canvas is auto-resizing.
  • Fixed a bug where “Revert Document” in the File Menu was unavailable after switching to another application in Mac OS X 10.7.
  • Duplicating a file in Mac OS X 10.7 now properly cascades the window position.
  • The “Duplicate” entry in the Edit Menu has now been changed to “Duplicate Selection” in order to cease confusion with the Duplicate entry in the File Menu.
  • Fixed a severe performance issue having to do with a large number of text variables on a particular canvas.
  • Addressed an issue where the Stencil Window search could recognize certain files that are not stencils based on their file extension.
  • The Open ColorSync Utility button in the ColorSync preference pane should now be working again.

Crashes

  • Fixed a crash when dragging color swatches to various objects.
  • Fixed a crash when exporting a document with many canvases with shared layers to file formats that write out multiple files for each canvas.
  • Fixed a crash when reverting to a previous version of the document for certain files while running in Mac OS X 10.7.
  • As noted above, 64-bit mode offers increased stability and neatly avoids a number of existing reported crashes in the reproducible test cases we have found.
