To save a model with a different format, name or<br />

location:<br />

1. From the File menu, choose Save As.<br />

The Save File dialog box appears.<br />

2. Specify the name of the file, the folder, and disk<br />

where you want to save the file.<br />

3. Select the file format in which you want to save<br />

the model.<br />

4. Click Save.<br />

When you save a file in another file format, only<br />

information relevant to the file format is saved. For<br />

example, you will lose dot surfaces, color, and atom<br />

labels when saving a file as an MDL MolFile.<br />

Publishing Formats<br />

The following file formats are used to import<br />

and/or export models as pictures for desktop<br />

publishing and word processing software.<br />

WMF and EMF<br />

Chem3D supports the Windows Metafile and<br />

Enhanced Metafile file formats. These are the only<br />

graphic formats (as opposed to chemistry modeling<br />

formats) that can be used for import. They may also<br />

be used for export, EMF by using the Save As... File<br />

menu command or the clipboard, and WMF by<br />

using the clipboard (only). See “Exporting With the<br />

Clipboard” on page 123 for more information.<br />

EMF files are exported with transparent<br />

backgrounds, when this is supported by the<br />

operating system (Windows 2000 and<br />

Windows XP). The WMF and EMF file formats are<br />

supported by applications such as Microsoft Word<br />

for Windows.<br />

NOTE: Chem3D no longer embeds structural information<br />

in models exported as EMF files. If you have EMF files<br />

produced with previous versions of Chem3D, you can still<br />

open them in Chem3D and work with the structure.<br />

However, EMF files saved from Chem3D 8.0 contain<br />

graphic information only and cannot be opened in Chem3D<br />

8.0.<br />

BMP<br />

The Bitmap file format saves the bitmapped<br />

representation of a Chem3D picture. The Bitmap<br />

file format enables you to transfer<br />

Chem3D pictures to other applications, such as<br />

Microsoft Word for Windows, that support<br />

bitmaps.<br />
