If I have a line or arrow connecting two objects, how do I get a piece of descriptive text attached to that line? If I move the line, the text should follow.

  • @Buscar웃 Nope, I figured there must be a way to attach text as an attribute of the line. Pretty common need in diagrams, to note the logic expressed by the link between objects. And I vaguely recall using this feature in an old version of Omnigraffle.

Option + Double-click



Hold Option/ALT while double-clicking on the line to add a label to it.



If this maneuver instead creates a point to adjust the line from, double-click without Option/ALT. You can swap between Option/ALT-double-click (a) creating a point and (b) creating a label via a setting in Preferences → Drawing Tools → Line Editing.
