Manual Guides
OmniGraffle Professional has manual guides to help you accurately lay out your drawings.

To add a new guide either use the Format->Guides menu, or click on a ruler (not while editing text) and drag off a new guide.
To remove a guide, drag it off the canvas.
The guides default to aligning centers of graphics. Use the alignment widget on the Alignment inspector to change between the center and either of the edges.
