Welcome to OmniGraffle 2.1 for iOS! That's right folks, we said OmniGraffle 2.1 for iOS! Since we last met, your friends at The Omni Group have been busy working on Universal versions for all of our apps. If you have an iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th Generation) that runs iOS 8 or higher, then your day just got a zillion times. OmniGraffle 3.2 for iOS 11 Last week saw the release of iOS 11, and with it, the release of OmniGraffle 3.2 for iOS. The release was a major update with brand new functionality for OmniGraffle featuring Drag and Drop in different areas of the app, as well as integration with the new Files app.
Since we last met, your friends at The Omni Group have been busy working on squashing bugs and adding new features to OmniGraffle for iOS 9.
A recent addition to OmniGraffle 2 for iOS is Shape Recognition. When using the Freehand drawing tool, you can turn on Shape Recognition by tapping and then use your finger or Apple Pencil to create the shape you're looking for. The thing you drew gets converted to a shape path.

See Drawing Basics for more information on how to use Shape Recognition in OmniGraffle v2.5.
Some of the changes and improvements we've made to OmniGraffle for iOS 9 (and otherwise) include:
- 3D Touch—If you have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you can Peek and Pop into OmniGraffle 2 for iOS with a long press on the app icon:
When you feel the iPhone's Taptic Engine react to your finger press, OmniGraffle's app icon takes the focus, and a tiny menu appears showing you the last three files you've worked on, and provides you with another option to create a New Document.
- Keyboard Shortcuts!—While OmniGraffle for iOS has long-supported keyboard shortcuts, you can view them in a heads-up overlay if you are using a Bluetooth keyboard with your iPad or iPhone. Just hold down the Command key (⌘) to find the keyboard shortcut you're looking for:
For more information about the keyboard shortcut overlay, and for a complete list of shortcuts, see Keyboard Shortcuts later in this book.
- iPad Pro-Ready—Just in case you're thinking about getting the new iPad Pro, rest assured that OmniGraffle 2 has already been retooled to work on the iPad Pro. So go ahead, splurge on that iPad Pro upgrade and get ready to multitask with OmniGraffle alongside our other apps on iOS 9.
- Multitasking in iOS 9—OmniGraffle 2 supports Multitasking in iOS 9 (on iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 4), giving you the ability to use Slide Over and Split View so you can work on OmniGraffle files and keep track of your tasks in OmniFocus or look at notes you have in OmniOutliner!
- Alignment Inspector—We have brought the Alignment inspector to OmniGraffle for iOS from OmniGraffle for Mac. Now you can align objects the canvas with precision!
- Point Editing Tools—We've added a new set of tools for editing the points of a shape. To use the Point Editing Tools, first select a shape or line on the Canvas, and then tap in the bottom toolbar. This makes it much easier to drag existing points, add points, and remove points from an object.
- Fill Effects and Filters—We've brought OmniGraffle 6.1 for Mac's Fill Effects and Filters over to OmniGraffle for iOS.
Note
For a list of all the changes we've made in OmniGraffle for iOS, be sure to read the Release Notes by tapping the Gear icon in the toolbar and choosing Release Notes from the list of options.
And finally, there's a new place in Omni's family: Stenciltown. Stenciltown is where you can safely find and download new stencils for use with OmniGraffle. For more information about Stenciltown, and stencils in general, be sure to read the new chapter, Using and Creating Stencils, later in this book.
How This Documentation is Organized
This wonderful manual that you have before you (either in OmniGraffle itself, online, or in iBooks on your Mac or iOS device—or both) has been assembled in such a way that you're provided with a complete tour of OmniGraffle.
You'll start out with an overview of OmniGraffle's interface. Don't skip over this chapter, as you'll find many nuggets of information and fine details about OmniGraffle that you might otherwise miss. And, if you do decide to skip this chapter and later find yourself wondering, 'Hey, what's that doohickey do?', you can always come back here to discover what it's all about.
To help guide you through the documentation and better learn all the things you need to know about OmniGraffle, here's a list of all of the chapters in this book:
This new service is something many of you have been asking for; the ability to store files on other services, such as Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and others. It's not perfect—which is why we are calling this a BETA feature—but we know the demand is great, so we want to let you try it out.
This first chapter walks you through the process of setting up a cloud account in OmniGraffle, discusses how get the best performance out of Omni Sync Server, and shows you how to turn on and store files with other Cloud Storage Providers.

We're constantly working on updates for our documentation.

The potential shown by The Omni Group's OmniGraffle 1.0 (Reviews, October 2001) is fulfilled in the more mature OmniGraffle 2.0.2. This version of the OS X-native chart-creation program includes enhancements such as the ability to implement AppleScripts and incorporate hyperlinks in charts. There are also several cool new design tools.
OmniGraffle is generally reliable–though one inexplicable crash served as a reminder to save work often–and it was fairly easy to use, once we got the hang of its unique interface. The printed manual walks you through the creation of a simple diagram and gets you acquainted with OmniGraffle's tools, panels, and palettes. Via this interface, you can generate and color shapes, insert text, connect objects, and otherwise structure your chart.
For organizational pros and developers, OmniGraffle's more-advanced new features include support for Project Builder files. The comprehensive Selection panel gives you myriad fine-tuning options, and you can export finished charts in many standard formats, such as JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PDF.
As in version 1.0, the Auto Layout tool, which you can use to reorganize a chart in a way that 'makes sense' to the program, often had us scurrying for the undo command. Complex hierarchical charts aren't served well by this tool–it can misinterpret parent-child relationships and randomize a chart's order.

If you have a diagram to draw in OS X, OmniGraffle 2.0.2 is for you. You may have to invest some time in learning the program, but you'll be more than compensated by its organizational wizardry.
