Shows OmniGraffle's about box.

Opens your web browser to the Omni online store, where you can easily purchase licenses for OmniGraffle or our other products. (This menu item only appears if OmniGraffle is running in evaluation mode.)

Checks with Omni's servers to find out if you're using the most recent version of OmniGraffle; if there's a newer version available, a panel will appear offering to let you download it. See Update Preferences for more information.

Opens the Preferences window for changing OmniGraffle's settings.

Opens the Licenses window for managing the OmniGraffle licenses you may own.

The items in the Services menu are provided by other Cocoa applications you have installed. When you've selected something that a Service can act on, the corresponding Services menu item will become available.

The standard menu items for hiding OmniGraffle and its windows, hiding the windows of other applications, and showing everything that you've previously hidden.

Quits the OmniGraffle application.

Opens a new document window using the default template.

This submenu allows you to create a new document by choosing from a list of available templates.

Shows the Open panel, which you can use to open an existing OmniGraffle document or import another type of document.

This submenu allows you to quickly open any of the last ten documents you used. Choose Clear Menu to empty this list.

Closes the current document.

Saves the current document in OmniGraffle format, prompting you for a location to save it if necessary.

Provides a shortcut for saving the current document to your templates folder so that it will appear in the New From Template menu the next time you run OmniGraffle.

Prompts you for a location in which to save the document using one of several formats which can be used in other applications.

Saves all open documents.

Discards any changes you've made to the document since you last saved it.

Shows the Page Setup panel, in which you can choose settings for how the frontmost document will be printed.

Shows the Print panel for printing the frontmost document.

The standard Undo and Redo commands apply to all editing operations in OmniGraffle documents.

These standard editing commands apply in OmniGraffle, for both graphics and text.

The Copy As submenu allows you to choose what format is used to put graphics on the Clipboard; PDF format explicitly preserves editable text and the geometric forms of graphics but doesn't support transparency, while TIFF format is a bitmap image which preserves no editability but does include transparency. Copy As AppleScript is a special option; it places onto the Clipboard the text of an AppleScript which, when run, will reconstruct the selected graphics — good for pasting into the Action Info pane.

Since pressing the Return key switches out of text-editing mode when typing in a shape, you can press Command-Return (or Option-return) to insert a hard line break in the text.

These commands allow you to quckly select (and deselect) all the graphics in a document.

The standard Find commands can be used to search for text in OmniGraffle documents.

The standard Spelling commands can be used when editing text in OmniGraffle documents.

When page breaks are shown, lines will appear in the document window showing the boundaries between printed pages.

The standard Font menu can be used when editing text in OmniGraffle documents.

These commands set the text alignment for graphics which have text.

These commands affect the grid used for aligning graphics, mirroring the functions of the Grid pane in the Info window.

These commands can be used to line graphics up with each other, according to the settings in the Align pane of the Info window.

Make Same Width and Make Same Height allow you to easily make two graphics the same size. Make Natural Size makes the width and height of a graphic the same. If a graphic has an image fill, Size To Fit Image will resize the graphic so the image exactly fits (without scaling).

This submenu gives you control over the magnets that are used in determining where lines connect to shapes.

This submenu command provides shortcuts for the Layout Graph and Layout Selection buttons in the Info window's Layout pane.

This command allows you to easily see which graphics have had URL links or AppleScripts attached to them via the Action pane of the Info window. Graphics with URL links will show a blue "zap" arrow icon, and graphics with AppleScript actions will show a script icon.

These commands can be used to easily apply the "look" of one graphic (the settings in the Style and Line panes of the Info window) to another graphic.

Moves the selected graphic(s) to appear "in front of" of any graphics it overlaps, and vice versa.

Locking the selected graphic(s) prevents you from moving them or changing their style accidentally.

Use the Group command to combine several graphics so you can move and change them all at once, and use Ungroup to split up a group into its constituent graphics.

The palettes included with OmniGraffle are listed in this submenu, as are any you've installed; choose one to open it. There are also commands for creating new palettes and for editing existing palettes.

Shows and hides the horizontal and vertical rulers in the document window.

Shows the standard Color panel. Colors you choose in the panel can be dragged onto graphics or onto Info window color wells to set their color.

Shows the Info window.

Opens another Info window; multiple Info windows can be on the screen at the same time, and each window's toolbar can be independently customized to keep frequently-accessed Info panes readily available.

This submenu provides shortcuts to each of the Info window panes.

Shows the Selection window.

Hides and shows the Toolbar on the frontmost window.

Opens the sheet that allows you to customize the Toolbar.

Closes the current window.
Closes all windows. (Only visible when the Option key is held.)

Sends all windows to the Dock. (Only visible when the Option key is held.)

Resizes the current window to an optimum size for its contents. If the Option key is held, this command resizes all windows.

These three commands adjust the magnification level of the document window.

If windows from other applications are obscuring OmniGraffle's windows, choosing this command will bring all OmniGraffle windows to the front.

All open OmniGraffle windows are listed here; choosing a window will bring it to the front. Windows containing documents with unsaved changes are marked with a bullet, and windows which have been minimized to the Dock are marked with a diamond.

You can put AppleScript scripts in this menu for easy access. For details see AppleScript and OmniGraffle.
