ChemDraw strives to be a vital and preferred tool for illustrating chemical and biological concepts. Compatibility with the latest operating systems and tools is an essential part of that. Having the ChemDraw Active-X control functional with the latest browsers on both Windows and Mac platforms is part of this process as well. Enhanced Retrosynthesis Tool. Using the Enhanced Retrosynthesis tool, you can now analyze how a molecule might have been constructed. For details, see ""Enhanced Retrosynthesis tool" on page 134". ChemDraw Cloud. ChemDraw is now available without any installation in ChemDraw Cloud. ChemDraw Desktop and ChemDraw Cloud can share files via upload and download. For details, see "Understanding ChemDraw Cloud" on page 286 Attach Data feature enhancement. You can now specify a single character tag while attaching data to an object. These tags will be displayed along with objects. For details, see ""Attached Data" on page 283". Stereoflag Configuration Options. You can choose to display one general stereoflag label for the molecule (instead of stereoflag labels in individual ste- reo-centers) when opening MDL format files. For details see, "Configuration options for stereoflag" on page 23. You can now save the Enhanced Stereochemistry settings when saving to the SKC format. For details, see "Con- figuration options for stereoflag" on page 23. ChemDraw E-Notebook. ChemDraw E-Notebook is a cloud-based tool supporting design and recording of chemistry experiments. ChemDraw E-Notebook and desktop ChemDraw can share ChemDraw documents. Note: ChemDraw E-Notebook is not yet available at the time of ChemOffice 16.0 release but will be available soon. For details, see "What is ChemDraw E-Notebook?" on page 298. Recent Additions vii ChemDraw 16.0 Introduction Designed for scientists, students, and scientific authors, ChemDraw is a powerful, yet easy-to use, tool for producing chemical and biological drawings. You can create your own drawings or use those provided in the library of available templates. Technical Support The online menu link Technical Support opens the Technical Support Web page. Here you can find desktop support resources, including the PerkinElmer Informatics Knowledge Base, product downloads, FAQ, and documentation. To reach the PerkinElmer Informatics Technical Support Web page: 1. Navigate to Online>Browse PerkinElmer Technical Support. The Technical Support Web page opens. 2. Click Desktop Support. About this Guide This guide describes the features in ChemDraw. Some tasks described in this guide must be performed in conjunction with other software. For example, instructions for ChemDraw/Excel describe tasks that require Microsoft Excel. For assistance, consult the Microsoft Excel online help or user’s guide. Conventions used in this Guide This guide uses several basic conventions to help you quickly learn ChemDraw. Instructions Instructions are designed to help you navigate through menus and screens. Menu items appear in bold. For example, to open a new drawing template: 1. Go to File>Open Templates>Amino Acids. This step asks you to select the File menu, select Open Templates (in the File menu), and then select Amino Acids (in the Open Templates sub menu). Notes, Tips, and Cautions The guide uses particular icons for various types of information: Note: Notes highlight important information. Tip: Tips supply useful, specific, “nice to know”, information, supplemental to the main text. Caution: Cautions indicate important information that, if ignored, may lead to data loss ,or other serious problems.
