The Edit Menu<br />

In addition to the usual Edit functions, you can use<br />

the Edit menu to copy the model in different<br />

formats, to clear the model window, and to select all<br />

or part of the model.<br />

• Copy as—Puts the model on the Clipboard in<br />

ChemDraw format, as a SMILES string, or in<br />

bitmap format.<br />

• Copy As ChemDraw Structure—Puts the<br />

model on the Clipboard in CDX format. You<br />

may only paste the structure into an application<br />

that can accept this format, for example<br />

ChemDraw, ChemFinder, or Chem3D.<br />

• Copy As SMILES—Puts the model on the<br />

Clipboard as a SMILES string. You may only<br />

paste the structure into an application that can<br />

accept this format.<br />

• Copy As Picture—Puts the model on the<br />

Clipboard as a bitmap. You may only paste the<br />

structure into an application that can accept<br />

bitmaps.<br />

NOTE: The application you paste into must recognize the<br />

format. For example, you cannot paste a ChemDraw<br />

structure into a Microsoft Word document.<br />

• Paste Special—Preserves coordinates when<br />

pasting a Chem3D model from one document<br />

to another.<br />

• Clear—Clears the model window of all<br />

structures.<br />

• Select All—Selects the entire model.<br />

• Select Fragment—If you have selected an<br />

• Show Serial Numbers—A toggle switch to<br />

display or hide the atom numbers.<br />

• Show Atom Dots—Displays or hides atom<br />

• Show Atom Spheres—Displays or hides<br />

atom spheres for the model. The radius is<br />

based on VDW radius or Partial Charges, as<br />
