The document did not create itself, focussing on the doc is an error.įocus on the author, who created the doc. I did not allow it in the old days (shared doc on an internal file server) and I definitely do not allow it nowadays (Google Docs “internal” cloud file server etc). The whole notion of a shared document sucks dead bears. As a matter of (a) a visible delivery, as well as (b) a matter of pride, I don’t want anyone writing on them. in the middle of a project, containing far less content than the final), which are subject to ongoing changes, are mine mine mine. I have the dubious luxury that I am a consultant, not really part of a team, even though I may head a customer team for the duration of a project. there would be issues re lines joined to objects shadows etc. And I do not see how it can be done within the current limits of OG and PP. The question still remains is there in any way you could take a OG flowchart and move it into PP so you can manipulate the flowchart at it’s individual elements? I am not suggesting that it is a great presentation tool, or that it is equivalent to PP/Keynote. If the presentation needs to be given in increments, or you need to “move separate objects around”, use OG. I am saying, use the right tool for the job. You may be stuck in Maslow’s Law of the Instrument. I think we are losing sight of the question and talking theory/usability (The typewriter is definitely better for some tasks, and the computer definitely better for other tasks.) I don’t understand what you mean in your computer::typewriter analogy. It’s like saying why use a computer (OG) when you have a typewriter (PP for flowchart)? Yes, this means that your OG doc is set up as a Template, it contains everything that you would put in the PP doc.For highlighting text or an object, I use a cursor, which is a rectangle with a 4pt blue Stroke, and a white 0% Fill.

LEARNING OMNIGRAFFLE PDF
Pretty much the same as, but don’t create the incremental PDFs, only the final PDF.Example: here are the first 5 increments of 18 increments, as single PDFs, all created from a single diagram on a single Canvas.For the final intense single-page lecture note, turn On all layers, and export as PDF.
LEARNING OMNIGRAFFLE SERIES
Then by turning selected Layers Off/On, I create a progression a series of increments.(Horrible compared to OG4, but hey, that is what we have.).Some objects are common, so they are placed on SharedLayers. I draw the entire diagram with the final result in mind, on a single Canvas.If you are interested in other ways of doing things (but getting the same result on the big screen), please see if these ideas help you at all: If you are fixed on the way you do things, I cannot help. I do not do that presentation in PP or Keynote, I do that presentation in OG. 1 page PDF), but also have to be presented (eg. I have hundreds of diagrams, including flowcharts and data models and network diagrams, that not only exist in a final form (eg. I can move elements with easy and rearranging things quickly. Omnigraffle can build a flow chart faster, has stencils, shapes, magnets, text between lines and other things that makes it exponentially faster to use OG than PP.
