I've been using OmniGraffle usefully.
But sometimes I feel inconvenient using the app.

Suppose that I'm going to draw SHAPE1 and SHAPE2 which are in middle of the scroll side by side.

When I draw SHAPE1 and touch stencil button top-right of the screen,
Scroll is not in the position I touch SHAPE1.
So I have to scroll again to find SHAPE1 and SHAPE2.
This is very unnecessary operation, I think.

I think it would be more convenient if scroll position is kept when I touch stencil. And when I touch the stencil name(top of the panel), its scroll position becomes top.



Thank you.

I agree on this. I've been trying to think of the most elegant way to handle the palettes obscuring the work area (a fairly serious UI issue IMO). I usually end up zooming in so that the palettes do not cover the area completely but this should be unecessary.

You're right, that is an unnecessary operation. Instead of dragging the stencil to the canvas, double-tap it. The stencil window will remain unchanged, and you can now tap on the next shape. When you have them all on the screen, arrange as desired.

Great response, I misunderstood the original post. Cheers :)
