Quickly and easily draw molecules in a chemistry-oriented
interface with customizable toolbars.
Make professional reports. Create and use templates. Work
with structures, text, and graphics simultaneously and
transfer to any OLE-supported software (Microsoft Office, for
example).
Instantly calculate the chemical formula, molecular weight,
and percentage composition. Predict several liquid
properties such as density and refractive index.
Customize display properties, e.g., atom numbering,
chemical symbols, and valence.
Draw reactions and schematic diagrams.
Search through the computer directories of your choice to
find a structure or substructure. Structure can be either
embedded into the text as an OLE object, or saved within any
of the ACD/Labs structure-enabled databases.

Our Search for Structure system allows you to seek
out your structures in various file formats throughout your
computer file systems. These formats include: SK2,
MOL, SDF, SKC, CHM, CDX,
RXN, and PDF (Adobe Acrobat); DOC (Microsoft
Word), XLS (Microsoft Excel), and PPT (Microsoft
PowerPoint), and ACD/Labs databases: CUD,
HUD, CFD, NDB, ND5, and
INT. Microsoft Word documents with structures created
in ChemDraw or MDL ISIS can also be retrieved! Not only can
you perform exact structure searches, but you can also search
by substructure. Added options allow you to preview search
results, open search result documents in ChemSketch as well as
in other applications, and store search results for later
access.
