GIF and PNG and JPG<br />

Use the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF),<br />

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file format, or<br />

the JPEG format to publish a Chem3D model on<br />

the world wide web. Each of these formats uses a<br />

compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file.<br />

Applications that can import GIF, PNG, and JPG<br />

files include Netscape <strong>Com</strong>municator and<br />

Microsoft Internet Explorer.<br />

The model window background color is used as the<br />

transparent color in the GIF format graphic.<br />

NOTE: The size of the image in Chem3D when you save<br />

the file will be the size of the image as it appears in your web<br />

page. If you turn on the “Fit Model to Window” building<br />

preference in Chem3D, you can resize the Chem3D window<br />

(in Chem3D) to resize the model to the desired size and then<br />

save.<br />

Alchemy<br />

Use the ALC file format to interface with<br />

TRIPOS© applications such as Alchemy©. This is<br />

supported only for input.<br />

Cartesian Coordinates<br />

Use Cartesian Coordinates 1 (.CC1) or 2 (.CC2) to<br />

import or export the X, Y, and Z Cartesian<br />

coordinates for your model.<br />

When you save a file as Cartesian Coordinates, an<br />

option button appears in the Save As dialog box.<br />

To specify the save options:<br />

1. Click Options:<br />

The Cartesian Coordinates Options dialog box<br />

appears.<br />

3DM<br />

The QuickDraw 3D MetaFile (3DM) file format<br />

contains 3-dimensional object data describing the<br />

model. You can import 3DM files into many 3D<br />

modeling applications. You can transfer 3DM files<br />

between Macintosh and Windows platforms.<br />

AVI<br />

Use this file format to save a movie you have<br />

created for the active model. You can import the<br />

resulting movie file into any application that<br />

supports the AVI file format.<br />

Formats for Chemistry<br />

Modeling Applications<br />

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

models to chemistry modeling application other<br />

than Chem3D. Most of the formats also support<br />

import.<br />

2. Select the appropriate options:<br />

If you want the file to … Then click …<br />

contain a connection table for<br />

each atom with serial numbers<br />

contain a connection table for<br />

each atom that describes<br />

adjacent atoms by their<br />

positions in the file<br />

By Serial Number.<br />

By Position.<br />

not contain a connection table Missing.<br />
