Bringing graphic objects to front in OmniGraffle Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I can't find a means of bringing a selected graphic object to the front (as per the "Arrange > Bring to Front" Command)

Or indeed, sending it backwards.

Here's the issue. I'm using the following function to create links between nodes in a network, and the labels are (for whatever reason) drawing behind the connectors. I'd like to bring the label object forward, and can't.

Caveat: I'm new to AppleScript. It seems horribly undocumented.


Code:
on linkCircle(fromTag, toTag)
	tell application "OmniGraffle Professional 5"
		tell canvas of front window

			set fromCircle to the first solid whose tag = fromTag

			set toCircle to the first solid whose tag = toTag

			tell fromCircle
				set newConnection to connect to toCircle with ¬
				properties {line type:orthogonal}
			end tell
			
			set newLabel to make new shape at end of graphics ¬
			with properties {draws shadow:false, autosizing:full, ¬
			text:{text:"hello world", alignment:center}, ¬
			draws stroke:false}

			set labelConnection of newLabel to newConnection
		end tell
	end tell
end linkCircle
