Hi Tobias;

This question may be better asked on the main WebObjects mailing list 
hosted by Apple.  You can, I think, still drop an .eomodeld onto the 
OmniGraffle application;

This will produce a diagram, but hand-tweaking is required to properly 
layout a larger model for comprehension purposes.

I did write an .eomodeld --> GraphViz...

	http://www.graphviz.org/

...ant task.  But you can't then tweak the diagram by hand and for a 
larger model the end-result ended up looking spaghetti!  It's OK for 
smaller chunks, but that's not the idea.

So there are no easy answers that I know of without some manual 
intervention!

cheers.
