Are Boolean operation on the shapes supported? What background options are available? Looks nice. Will buy for Mac since OmniGraffle just isn't good enough to replace Visio.
- thomk 9y agoI couldn't disagree more with this statement. Omnigraffle 7 blows Visio away.
- protomyth 9y agoI gave up after buying every version until 5. Their shapes and even grids were poor. Did they finally get Boolean operations? Something Visio has had since the early days. Heck, I liked the original sampler 3 1/2" floppy version of Visio more than any OmniGraffle version.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoVisio hasn't been updated for diagramming since the early days. All they've added to it are enterprise features while it's diagramming engine is stuck in he late 90s (it was great back then, now a days, omnigraffle and sketch are just more modern).
- protomyth 9y agoI'll take classic and allowing me to draw what I want over 'modern'.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIt feels horribly outdated whenever I try to draw something. Omnigraffle is far ahead of it.
- ttd 9y agoYes, Boolean operations on shapes are supported. Select the shapes/paths, and use the "Merge selected objects" operation in the Object menu. Currently supported are union, difference, and intersection. The resulting object will be a path. Right now there is no way to change the default white background (exported as transparent), but this would be an easy thing to add.
- protomyth 9y agoGrids with units of measure would be a nice touch (also not exported), thanks for the response.
