Embedding ChemSketch drawings in Windows applications If you want to open the 3-D file in another molecular viewer, save the file as an MDL. You copy the image to Paint, or other graphics program, you can thenĬan copy from other applications and paste into ChemSketch. (What is the difference between the ways in whichĪ structure and text are edited in Word after pasting?) Each page in CS must be saved separately.Ĭan copy a structure (and other objects) and paste it in another application When you export to gif format, for example, from a ChemSketchĭocument that has multiple pages, only the page on view (or the selected portion) is saved asĪ graphic. To these same formats as well as to bmp and gif files. mol files used by DS VisualizerĪnd the ChemDraw. Sure you notice the little icon that indicates more than one page forĪnd Exporting- ChemSketch can open ( Import)įiles in the Window Metafiles ( wmf) format, as well as two others non-bonding and bonding electron pairs (Lewis structures).You might start by exploring and checking these topics in the Template Window: The Templates Window and the Organizer to see what is available. Your own short-cut menu in the Organizer.

When you open the Template Window, there is a menu of collections on the left, but clicking on the drop-down box will reveal many more. The Template Window and Organizer is an extensive collection of structures and drawings organized by type, such as sugars, steroids, etc. The Table of Radicals contains the commonly drawn monocyclic rings and small substituent and functional groups as well as amino acids. Access the various templates from the drop-down menu or from the tool bars at the top and right side of the Structure Mode window. Great help and a strong feature of ChemSketch are the Templates, that contain pre-drawn structures and figures. Again, practice copying examples.įind that your drawings are much easier to manipulate if you learn

They are also of less chemical importance. Some of the tools here are more obvious in how they are used, but Use the Clean Structure tool to fix your drawing (or sometimes it messes it up).

Structures - The best way to learn how to draw with ChemSketch is to The panels that are open in the Draw Mode pertain mostly to text formatting (Font, Pen, Paragraph) and drawing (Arrow, Fill). The two most commonly used tabs are 'Common' and 'Atom'. The panel can be moved anywhere, on or off the main window. Access the panels from the Tools menu in both modes. In addition to the buttons in both modes, there are tool panels that apply formatting to your structure and drawing. The two images below show the Structure and Drawing Modes windows. It is good to be aware of the possibilities. Seems to behave slightly differently depending on whether you single You are using Help, open the window on Mouse Commands. This is one of the best ways to learn the tools You explore the toolbar buttons, point to a button and in a moment a You make stylistic choices among different fonts, line widths, etc. In both modes, there are drop down dialog boxes and panels in which Structural parts of the file such as atoms and bonds and the Draw modeĪllows you to enhance them with arrows, boxes, and non-structure drawings. There are similaritiesĪnd differences between them. YouĬan get the same interactive help for Drawing Keep the Help window open while you learn. Part of the screen picture, you get help on that particular With drawing programs then some aspects of it should be easier for you Is amazing that ChemSketch is freeware because it is a quite powerfulĬhemical structure drawing program.
