OmniGraffle I've seen OmniGraffle diagrams show up in a blog entry and and an article in the last week. Both diagrams show how OmniGraffle can produce high-quality, professional looking diagrams. The best part is that (I believe) it comes out-of-the-box with OS X. I seem to remember deleting it off my hard drive a while back b/c I didn't know what it was for. After seeing these sites, and realizing what OmniGraffle can do - I'll be searching through my Panther CDs in hopes of finding it. Anyone know where it's at and what version it is?

OmniGraffle 2 (and OmniOutliner, another useful program) came on the software install and restore disk of some machines. You won't find it on any of the OS disks.

Thanks Rhys - it was on my PowerBook G4 Software Restore CD. It was OmniGraffle 2.1 and it auto-updated itself to 2.2. 3.2.1 looks like a $75 upgrade. I doubt it's worth it (to me) since I've never even used the software.

Not sure about the version shipped with your PowerBook, but the latest greatest version will always be at http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/ Even the full OmniGraffle Pro 3 package is WELL worth the money (that's the version I bought).

I've done many drawings in version 3, but when I got my new Powerbook, version 2 was on it. I agree with D'Arcy, 3 is definitely worth the money and much better than version 2.

Is there any Windows or Linux equivalent of something like this? Visio maybe?
