I've recently started doing basic ER diagramming in OmniGraffle.  I made 
a palette of objects for it, which I'll happily send you if you want.

My palette doesn't do what you want, but to answer your question with 
2.0, I guess you could add magnets in the appropriate places where you 
need lines to end?

Best,
Fraser
