ChemDraw

ChemDraw is a molecule editor first developed in 1985 by David A. Evans and Stewart Rubenstein[1] (later by the cheminformatics company CambridgeSoft). The company was sold to PerkinElmer in the year 2011.[2] ChemDraw, along with Chem3D and ChemFinder, is part of the ChemOffice suite of programs and is available for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

File format

The native file formats for ChemDraw are the binary CDX and the preferred XML-based CDXML formats. ChemDraw can also import from, and export to, MOL, SDF, and SKC chemical file formats.

Plugins

SDK for ChemDraw enables third-party developers to write plugins. For example, - Quick HotKey helps to set up HotKeys in interactive mode, instead manually editing of text file. The Plugin site appears to have been abandoned.

gollark: <@167658041028640768> It just doesn't update.
gollark: Going into/out of a compact machine works for that for me.
gollark: Also, the power thing's been broken for a few updates, I think you need to load and unload it for it to update or something.
gollark: try breaking and replacing it or something.,
gollark: Screenshot the whole reactor?
