Using Omnigraffle

[Robert A. Blum]

Howard,
    Hold don the shift key and use the arrows to nudge objects...this will
be significantly more precise and will give you the result I think you want.
Also, use the zoom tool...it is much easier to see objects in relation to
gridlines and to reposition them when you zoom in.

Enjoy,
Rob
