Viewing Structures in Chem3D Format<br />

Unlike the ChemDraw and ChemFinder styles,<br />

Chem3D style is view only. You cannot edit the<br />

structures in Chem3D style. Double clicking in the<br />

Structure Box activates the Chem3D ActiveX<br />

control. When you point inside the Structure Box,<br />

the cursor becomes a hand that lets you “grab” and<br />

rotate the structure.<br />

For more information on the Chem3D ActiveX<br />

control, see the Chem3D User’s Manual.<br />

Setting Fixed and Live Data<br />

In the Box Properties dialog box, you can designate<br />

whether the data source is fixed or from a field.<br />

Fixed data is attached to the form and does not<br />

change as you browse. Data from a field is stored in<br />

the database and is different for each record. As you<br />

browse, the record display updates according to the<br />

contents of the field.<br />

ChemFinder<br />

Dragging within the structure allows you to freely<br />

rotate the structure.<br />

Dragging the cursor across or up and down rotates<br />

the structure around the X and Y axes . To rotate<br />

around the Z axis, drag outside the structure.<br />

1. In the Box tab, select the field to associate, and<br />

then click Field.<br />
