| I think what threw me off is, my version of OmniGraffle has a "Check for Updates" menu item which returned no updates… and it said I was on the latest version… but that's apparently not true!
Also, the feature is present in this version. It's under the Edit menu. "Copy As…" and then a pop-out with "AppleScript." It generates code. But, at least in the set-up here (OmniGraffle 4.1.2 and Mac OS 10.11.4) the code that it generates is not usable as is.
I will try it with a newer version of OmniGraffle. Thanks again for pointing out the feature. Truly remarkable. This is even better than being recordable. I wish more apps were this innovative when it comes to AppleScript!

Hmm, interesting. It certainly looks wrong.
I see that OG is up to v. 6.5.2 now, so perhaps your older version isn’t compatible with newer OSs.
Also, I seem to recall that only the “Pro” version is scriptable (though I could be wrong). Worth checking, though.
Yes you need the Pro version.I also found that even though the script that is generated uses"tell canvas of front window", it doesn't work.I had to modify that to match the name of the window or use window 2, as there is apparently a hidden window named "Resource Browser" which is the front window.
