OmniGraffle continues to impress me by finding new functionality and ways of doing clever things. This tip looks at transferring shape properties from one shape to the other.

onto the shape that you want to receive the properties.
Right, that’s hugely awesome right ? But, what about all those other icons — what do they do ? They are sub-properties for the object eg. Text Format, or Fill, or Line handling

Now, lets say we just want the text properties to transfer, so I can select the Text icon and drag that:
onto the block and the text changes!!!
