Do you have a license for 3.0?

I believe you need one to modify documents with more than a certain number of objects in them.

The number is 20 objects. After that you need a license.

Just to say i have solved the problem, by emailing Omni, and they replied with the following

"If your copy of OmniGraffle is licensed, all you need do is open up the Graffle files in question using a text editor (OmniGraffle documents are XML), perform a search for the string, "ReadOnly" (minus the quotes) and change the key value from "YES" to "NO" in each case (again, minus the quotes) and save."

Wporked first time!
