Product Description:

When you need a clear understanding of how tasks, activities, and processes are carried out, OmniGraffle can help you produce amazing-looking diagrams that communicate information far better than words - and if you're just looking to make a poster for your Sunday garage sale, it's perfect for that too. Diagrams are basic to the way people think, and we create them all the time without even realizing it. Whatever your profession or interests, chances are you've occasionally sketched out some ideas on a piece of graph paper or the back of a napkin. OmniGraffle is the tool to help you organize your thoughts visually, document them beautifully, and communicate them to the world. More than just a silly name, OmniGraffle is a powerful, yet easy to use diagramming and drawing tool. OmniGraffle can help you make amazing graphic documents quickly by keeping lines connected to shapes even when they're moved, providing stencils full of common symbols for you to drag and drop, and magically organizing diagrams with just one click. Create flow charts, org charts, network diagrams, family trees, project processes, office layouts - or anything else that can be represented by symbols and lines.

Needed a few quick diagrams - Version: 5.2, 9/13/2009 09:31PM PST

I recently purchased Adobe CS4 and have slowly been working through exercises to learn Photoshop and InDesign. Then this past week I needed a few simple diagrams. I thought it would be a good way to learn Illustrator.

After several hours of learning about and getting frustrated with Illustrator, I downloaded OmniGraffle and produced four perfect charts and diagrams in an hour with color shading and complexity I'd have had to spend a long time to learn in Illustrator.

So much about OmniGraffle is intuitive. What little was not intuitive to me, I could find quickly in the user's guide. In fact, I found some things that I wasn't thinking about, enhancing the final products. And those things that at first were not intuitive, became so quite easily.

I couldn't ask for more.

I just started using the beta on my MBP running 10.4.9 and it all of sudden it caused a kernel panic while I was working for a while. Luckily I didn't lose anything and no damage was done. I just downgraded to the stable release.

A fabulous tool, that can be used in many different ways..
..Drag a folder in and it'll generate a hierarchical plan, clickable maps, etc.

Has anyone else noticed that the OmniPlan mini manual was made with OmniGraffle ??

There you go - defininitely a more potent tool than it first appears !!
