In the past using Applescript to control Chemdraw could be a pain.

Of particular interest to Mac Users are the changes to the scripting support. The ChemNMR feature can now be supplemented with your own data. To reset the center of rotation to its default position, simply deselect the object.īoth the "Structure to Name" and "Name to Structure" have been improved with support for more complex ring systems and better error handling. While pressing the ALT key you can click and drag the indicator to another location. However, you can move the center of rotation so that the object rotates around an atom or some other location on the page.When you select an object a center of rotation indicator ("+") appears in the center of the object. By default, an object turns around its center when you rotate it. One rather nice new feature is the ability to be able to assign the center of rotation. These are all stored as cdxml files in the BioDrawResources folder and it is relatively easy to add your own. The improved printing is important because one of the major upgrades has been the quality and quantity of the biological templates.

It might have been useful to have the ability to save as SVG, but you can convert the PDF to SVG online at Texterity. One thing that I've already mentioned is that printing directly from ChemBioDraw is significantly improved in addition there is now the option of PDF in the "Save As" options. With that concern dealt with let's look at the ChemBioDraw update. The issue seems to be compounded by the fact that whilst multiple formats can be copied to the clipboard Pages picks up the PDF format preferentially and thus compromises round-trip editing. I have no knowledge of how long PICT will be supported by Apple but it is apparent that it is a legacy technology and may not be there in the future. you need to switch off this option in the ChemBioDraw preferences. So while the new version of ChemBioDraw supports PDF and in particular the ability to print beautifully from within ChemBioDraw if you plan to copy the structures into Pages, Keynote, Word, Powerpoint etc. Thus a structure pasted into a Pages document as a PDF cannot be then copied back into ChemBioDraw and be edited. Whilst the PICT file on the clipboard contains all the chemical information needed by ChemDraw to enable structures copied and pasted from Word Processing documents to be subsequently edited, this information is not available using PDF images. This together with the transition from Quickdraw to Quartz and the resulting change from PICT to PDF has caused issues with round-trip editing.

To this day, there is no well-supported compound document architecture for MacOS, and the model for software components still causes problems for standardized data access"

Instead, Apple went through a series of software extension which changed regularly and were thus poorly supported. Unfortunately, Apple chose not to support this, and Microsoft rewrote Word 6 so that EGO could not be any longer supported by the third-party extension. This allowed users of Microsoft Word version 5 for Macintosh to edit embedded ChemDraw drawings and create true compound documents. "On the Macintosh, Apple had pioneered interapplication communication and application scripting with an object-based messaging model that was far ahead of the corresponding Windows technology, and a third party developed a means to use AppleEvents to implement object embedding, called EGO. In contrast this quote from Stewart Rubenstein(Former President and Chief Technology Officer CambridgeSoft Corp) perhaps sums up the situation. Whilst every effort was made to ensure parity between the platforms one issue has caused problems on the Mac platform over the years:- Object Linking and Embedding, and while OLE 1 was problematic, OLE 2 worked quite well, and was based on a system-supported model for software components that quickly became the standard on Windows for gluing together functionality from different vendors.

The latest update offers a number of improvements but one issue remains.ĬhemDraw was originally developed on a 128K Mac (chosen because of the 1984 Apple advert) and only ported to Windows in 1994. ChemBioDraw from CambridgeSoft or as it is probably still better known ChemDraw is a very established chemical drawing package that probably sets the standard for publication quality chemical drawing.
