Edit > Copy As > AppleScript seems to generate non-compiling Applescript code.

For example, selecting a simple shape and choosing
Edit > Copy As > Applescript

Generates (and places in the clipboard) code of the form:

Code:

tell application "OmniGraffle Professional"
    tell canvas of front window
        make new shape at end of graphics with properties {name: "RoundRect", textSize: {0.800000, 1.000000}, textPosition: {0.100000, 0.000000}, origin: {87.000000, 125.000000}, size: {163.000000, 303.000000}}
    end tell
end tell

The first line of which seems to be incorrect:

Code:

tell application "OmniGraffle Professional"

fails on my system, and requires manual amendment to:

Code:

tell application "OmniGraffle Professional 5"

OR more durably, and in accordance with Apple's current guidelines:

Code:

tell application id "com.omnigroup.OmniGrafflePro"

(which would have a better chance of generating code reusable in any subsequent OmniGraffle 6, but only works with OS X 10.5 and upwards)
