ER diagrams

[David Kasprzyk]

Dear Mr. Rice:

Thank you for your support of OmniGraffle.  In regards to your question
about ER diagrams, there are two different ways that you could achieve what
you are looking for.  Which you choose depends on whether you will be moving
your shapes around a lot or not.

If you don¹t move your shapes around a lot:

    The easiest thing to do is to select the shape, go to the Magnet Info
panel and deselect ŒAllow Connections¹.  Now you can attach the line
wherever you would like to the shape.

If you move your shapes around:

    Instead of not allowing connections, use the Magnet Info Panel and
attach some magnet points to your shape.  Your line will now stay fixed to
wherever you have placed the magnets on your shape.

If you have any questions about this or if you have any comments please let
us know and we will happily assist you.

Sincerely,

David Kasprzyk
