Just figured out how to "Add Structure to Dictionary..." in #ChemDraw (so awesome!) but have no idea how to remove one or edit it once it's there. Anyone know? #chemistry #software #help #chemiverse

Is it just me, or is #Chemdraw a bit buggy now that Revvity owns it (v23)? It never crashed before, but now in some cases it forces Word to close. Also, when I close it, it is still running in the background and cannot be closed properly. The integration with Excel has also shown some hiccups.
I decided to downgrade now to v22 (PerkinElmar) which is also much more responsive.

Are there any alternatives? #chemiverse #chemistry

Looking for free or affordable (< $100 a year) software that allows me to draw a single compound and save it as a 3D structure (preferably an SDF file).

Alternatively, can someone with a ChemDraw license help me?

I have a background in #Chemistry and learned Fortran on punch cards. I got a 128K Macintosh and wrote #ChemDraw for Macintosh and Windows. It's still sold today, but I haven't been associated with it since 2007.
Since then, I have played a lot of #BridgeCardGame, but face-to-face bridge is a Covid disaster.
I don't say much, mostly I like to follow a few specific journalists, infosec, legal, econ, medical voices, and local news.

Today's goal: working on mitering this kind of intersecting bond line for a #ChemDraw -> #SVG renderer. Not a great look, but the renderer needs to handle it gracefully. 🦀 #rustlang
Ah, #ChemDraw, could you be uglier? No? Hmmm OK.
