Omni Automation iOS Tutorial: Object
Next, we’ll explore using the console to create and manipulate an OmniGraffle object.
| DO THIS ► | In a new blank OmniGraffle document, tap the shape drawing tool on the toolbar to make it the active tool: |
| DO THIS ► | Create a new rectangle by tapping on the document canvas and dragging downward to the right. |
If the shape is not selected (showing editing handles), tap it once more to select it.
| DO THIS ► | Summon the floating Editing Options Bar by tapping the selected box once more. |
On this bar are buttons for triggering commands for: Cut, Copy, Select All, Delete, Duplicate, and Lock. At the end of the bar is a right-arrow icon to reveal more editing options.
| DO THIS ► | Tap the right-arrow on the tool bar to reveal more commands, and select the option titled Copy as JavaScript. |
When the Copy as JavaScript option is selected, the Omni Automation code necessary for recreating the selected object will be placed on the clipboard.
| DO THIS ► | Finally, remove the rectangle from the canvas by tapping the rectangle to summon the Editing Options Bar, and then select the button titled Delete. |
The canvas should now be empty.
