Version 3.14

OmniGraffle 3.14 improves reliability when OmniGraffle documents are synced with third party providers. This release introduces a new file type that avoids compatibility issues with certain sync platforms, such as Dropbox, while maintaining great performance.

• File Formats — A new default single file format has been added. This is a zipped version of the pre-existing file package format which has significant performance advantages over the old single file format that encoded images as XML data. This combines most of the benefits of the pre-existing formats in a way that is compatible with file syncing services like Dropbox. Versions prior to OmniGraffle for iOS 3.14 and OmniGraffle for Mac 7.16 will not be able to read this format.

  • All new documents will be created in the new format regardless of what the template uses.
  • A legacy format export option has been added.
• Reference Manual — The localized reference manuals have been updated for changes prior to this release.
• Visio Import (PRO) — Fixed a couple importing bugs that prevented some files from importing.
• SVG Import — Fixed a bug importing lines that have zero dimension.

Version 3.13

OmniGraffle 3.13 is focused on improving compatibility with Visio.

• Visio Export (Pro) — Added support for top/bottom text margins.
• Visio Export (Pro) — PANOSE data is exported when available. This helps decide what font is used for substiution when necessary.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Added RelQuadBezTo support for .vssx files which improves Visio stencil compatibility.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Fixed cases of text objects not being created large enough to fit the text.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Documents previously triggering the Incorrect Block error are able to be imported.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Unexpected characters in unsupported attributes were causing some files to fail to import. Those attributes are now ignored.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Fixed a bug causing some EMF images in vsdx files to have components flying off into space.
• Visio Import (Pro) — When a Visio file type is associated with an UTI OmniGraffle doesn’t expect, check the file extension instead to determine if the file can be imported. This should fix compatibility problems when other applications are installed that use Visio file types.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Text placed inside groups is imported.
• Visio Import (Pro) — Fixed a crash when importing .vss files containing EMF images.
• Visio Export (Pro) — Fixed multiple bugs with exporting images. Images are now exported to PNG format unless already in BMP, WMF, or EMF. This results in significantly smaller file sizes than previously.
• Visio Export (Pro) — Corrected export of text alignment and offsets values.
• Visio Export (Pro) — Override Visio’s auto-routing in the exported file so that lines retain their path set in OmniGraffle. This will cause some files to appear with connection lines on top of objects. Adjusting any object should fix that.
• Visio Export (Pro) — Objects are positioned on the canvas when the canvas is using a non-zero origin in OmniGraffle.
• Visio Export (Pro) — Line labels are exported as line labels instead of separate text objects.
• Text — When typing immediately after editing on a label begins, the text has the correct style and insertion point.
• Text — Text set to be bottom or top aligned are positioned correctly when the shape is rotated.
• Gestures — It is possible to initiate a zoom gesture when your two fingers do not touch the screen as the same time and one is over an object.
• Images — When editing the mask of a scaled image, the image’s position will stay static.
• Linked Resource Folders — Changes to the contents of linked folders are picked up immediately and files needing to be downloaded can be selected.

Version 3.12

• Team Subscriptions — Team subscriptions are now available for OmniGraffle. Please contact sales@omnigroup.com if you are interested in learning more about the available licensing options.
• Linked Resource Folders — Give OmniGraffle permission to folders stored locally or in iCloud Drive to access your templates and stencils saved within them. Compatible file providers such as Working Copy can be used as well! Select the Configure Resource Locations option in Settings to add folders.

Version 3.11.2

• Stencils — Added a Kanban stencil.
• Images — Improved performance when using large images.
• Document Browser — The Copy Current Canvas as PDF option is no longer available from the Document Browser.
• Documentation — Updated the Reference Manual for corrections and clarification.
• Gestures — Restored the ability to manipulate Bézier handles individually. The gesture for this has changed and instead of a second finger hold on the canvas, a second finger tap on the canvas will switch between modes.
• Gestures — Bézier handles can be pulled out of the vertices on shapes.
• Gestures — Sub-selection within a group can be changed without selecting the whole group first.
• Gestures — Gestures continue to function after using the iOS system Undo via the 3-finger gesture.
• Gestures — Fixed a bug preventing dragging objects a small distance due to the drag being incorrectly interpreted as a tap.
• Gestures — Image mask mode can once again be easily activated with a single tap on an already selected object.
• Gestures — It is possible to select a smaller object positioned on top of an already selected object.
• General — Restored the warning when opening a file that contains images in text fields. These images are not supported on iOS.
• Inspectors — Restored the Convert Text to Shape option in the Text inspector.
• Visio Support — Visio files can be imported when the Microsoft Visio Viewer is installed.
• General — Drag handles appear when a multi-selection includes a group and a line connected to both an object inside and outside the group.
• Undo — When a connected object changes position due to using the 3-finger Undo gesture, the screen redraws the correct content.
• Siri Shortcuts — Restored Siri Shortcuts for opening documents.
• Canvases sidebar — Objects can be locked via the sidebar’s contextual menu.
• Stability — Fixed a crash on undoing a Text Overflow setting change.

Version 3.11.1

• Gestures — We’ve heard your feedback about how difficult it can be to reposition objects on the canvas so we’ve made the following changes:

  • The delay before the selected object begins to lift up to show the context menu has been increased. This gives you more time to initiate different actions such as dragging.
  • Unselected objects will instantly respond to gestures so you can immediately drag objects. If you need to pan the canvas but objects are in the way, a 2-finger drag can be used.
  • iOS drag and drop has been disabled on the canvas. You can still drag objects from the Canvases list to other apps.
  • We will be looking at other additional improvements in future releases.
• Stability — Fixed a crash most commonly encountered after using the Share option that results in a different app being activated automatically.
• Stability — Using any of the Share options that result in an image, such as Copy as Image and Copy Document, keeps the current document open.
• Send To — Send to Photos only creates one image.
