creating smart shapes like UML class entity

[David C. Kasprzyk]

Dear Mr. Winshell:

Thank you for your support of OmniGraffle.  In regards to your message, 
the UML class shape is a special shape with in Graffle that was 
individually coded into the application so unfortunately there is 
currently no way to create shapes of your own like this.

As for your speed issues, we know that this is a major problem with 
OmniGraffle 2.x and we are working hard to greatly improve the 
responsiveness of Graffle for the release of OG 3.0.

If you have any additional comments or questions please feel free to 
let us know and we will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

David Kasprzyk
