ChemSketch

ChemSketch is designed to be used on its own for drawing chemical structures, reactions, schematic diagrams or integrated with other ACD applications and as the front end to our software. Able to import Windows Metafile, MDL MOL, CS ChemDraw, or ISIS/Sketch BIN file. Export Bitmap, TIFF, Metafile, MOL, Paintbrush, ISIS/Sketch, GIF , and ChemDraw. Fully loaded with useful pre-drawn structures including lab equipment, DNA/RNA building kit, amino acids etc. Structures can be 2D "cleaned" as well as 3D optimized using ACD's powerful algorithm. Publish a professional quality report from within ChemSketch or drag drop structures/text into MS applications i.e. MS Word.

 

Basic of Chemsketch

This is an introduction to the program ChemSketch, from ACD Labs. You can use ChemSketch to draw chemical structures, and to view them as three dimensional (3D) models.

The approach here is to show by example. I will lead you through one example in some detail, showing how to draw the structure, and how to convert it to 3D. After that, I will briefly show some other features.

No attempt is made here to teach all of ChemSketch. The idea is to guide you to some basics. If you can do the things shown here, you should then be ready to pursue more features of the program on your own -- as you need them.

1.2 Starting ACD/ChemSketch

Once ACD/ChemSketch has been installed on your computer, follow these basic steps to start it: 1. Start Microsoft Windows. 2. Double-click the ChemSketch icon. –OR– From the Start/Run menu in the Windows 98/2000/NT/XP/ME/Server2003 taskbar, choose ACD/Labs and then choose the ChemSketch icon. –OR– Double-click the program file CHEMSK.EXE in the folder where you have installed all ACD/Labs software. By default this is ACD8. –OR– If you have other ACD/Labs programs running, from the ACD/Labs menu, choose ChemSketch. 3. You should see an opening splash screen. If this is the freeware version, you will see the ACD/Labs Products screen. Click OK to close it. If you wish to suppress this dialog box for the subsequent startups, from the Help menu, choose ACD/Labs Products and clear the Show this Screen at Startup check box.
