Replacing text with rectangles is a well established graphic technique for wireframes. However, I am having difficulty creating these quickly in Omnigraffle and none of my stencils have these text-replace elements.

¿Anyone know the solution?

The problem with simply creating them individually is design consistency (e.g., alignment, spacing, &c). A better technique would be similar to how tables are used: once the stencil is created, all you have to do to add another row of text would be to drag the shape until another rectangle appears.

Wirify shows the technique

Use the free font Blokk. Made especially for this situation. Have been using it myself and it works like a charm.

Bonustip: Make sure you use a specific word or a specific letter combination though because if you run a spell check on your Omnigraffle document you have to skip through all the content.
