I definitely need to upgrade to 17. It always annoyed me that I needed to use the mouse for so many things. Whoever is responsible for those changes is my personal hero!
@@PierreMx3 in organic solar architecture, yes. It is not that crucial (we have other super acceptor molecules now) but still it is important. Thank you in advance. Cheers 🍻
Hi ChemDrawWizard, always great ideas to learn from. I used an old ChemDraw Version 10.0 until recently and now at the 19 version I try to type p for pen tool somehow that doesn t work anymore. Also when I define it in the hotkeys: it does not work, any ideas?
Could anyone help me with drawing a straight propene? Don't judge me. Hear me out. I know how to draw a propene in chemdraw. The thing is, I want to draw it in a straight line. But whenever I try to do so, the H of the CH group moves out of the straight line & on top of the C atom which makes it look awkward. It'd be very nice if someone could help me.
I have recommended many of your previous videos to undergraduate students of mine and they've found them very useful. Thank you for doing these. For ChemDraw 16 on a Mac, I've found that I can't seem to copy/paste using the drag method. Do you know of any way to fix this? I'm not sure if it's a CD-Mac bug or a genuine program change from earlier versions.
You're welcome; all of my students found your videos really eye-opening and useful. For more detail, on a Mac, cmd+shift after selecting a while dragging a molecule doesn't copy/paste the item. This sometimes occurred in previous versions of CD but only when I'd been using it for a while and had lots of other apps open. This issue seems to be inherent to CD16 as I recently updated on two different computers (work and a lab top, both macs) and haven't been able to drag / copy on either of them. It's almost as though that feature doesn't seem to exist on this new version (which doesn't seem right to me so figure maybe there's a glitch or something needs to be adjusted before I can use that function).
ChemDrawWizard I think I may have solved the issue; it seems that previous Mac CD versions used cmd (the apple key) for drag/copy/paste but this one uses alt instead - it now works; I can perform the function without problem
Hello, I have been watching your tutorials and they were a great help in mu studies. But recently I have encountered a problem which I didn't realize before. It is when i copy and paste my structures from chemdraw to MS Word it is pasted as a picture and won't open on chemdraw when i double click on it, which it should be. I was hoping if you could provide with a solution to it. Thank you
Nice video. However, I have some problems with chemdraw professional 17. Whenever I use the feature "name to structure" and type cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, chalcone etc.and convert it to structure, it draws the wrong structures. Similarly, when I convert name to structure, the drawn structure always comes up with numbered carbon atoms. How to I remove the atom numbers by default?
That is a bug, thank you for the heads-up. The numbered carbon atoms are new in 17.1, they follow the numbering scheme from the IUPAC name of the molecule. You can go to File > Preferences > Building/Display turn off IUPAC Name display on N2S/S2N
Hey Pierre, can you offer any advice (or make a video on) easily manipulating chemdraw objects once they have been pasted into a word document (or latex)? For example, how might some warp around the object like one can do with a picture that they have pasted into their document?
Hey, I personally don't have experience with LaTex, and for the Word part, a pasted CD document in Office will behave like an image, so all the warping options are probably the same ones you already know. Sorry I can't be of more help on this one.
Hey buddy, Thanks for the video. Can you explain how to get rid of/disable annoying "auto numbering" in the chemdraw 17 when clicking on the "Structure to name" button? Thanks
Again, I call this Witchcraft! Just kidding, you are demonstrating all the powerfullness of Chemdraw when correctly used. Anyway, I have a request for you, ChemDraw Wizard : I am wondering if you or ChemDraw are able to draw "beautiful" [7] or higher helicenes or hetero-helicenes in no time with the respect of the helicity and no visible distortion for the rings inside the helix. ;-) Thanks you a lot for your advices.

Glad to be your hero then!
That really is magic :D
Thank you very much, what would i do without youtube tutorials?
Hello Pierre, I was wondering if in future any Fullerene derivative drawing tutorials coming up? Especially C70 and C80 derivatives. Thanks.
It's not planned but thank you for the suggestion. Haven't been following up on that front. Are C70 and C80 more standard these days?

That was pretty informative! Thanks.
How can I buy it?
Can i drew reaction profile with ts?
That will be covered in a future tutorial

Bobby Jackson Thank you! Please keep on sharing! Can you be more precise in the steps that you take? And is this specific to a certain version?

Which version of ChemDraw on which OS are you using?

Thanks for the video. It's very helpful. Any tricks on how to cleanup organometallic structures.
Thank you! Do you have specific examples of organometallic structures you are having problems with?
how to download it?

hai. can u help me where i can down load free chem draw 17
I'm using ChemDraw Ultra 12.0, When i press "1" it shows "n-But". Is it a Setting problem?
The Deer this works only starting with v17 of ChemDraw. Won't work on 12

Tienous thank you! Helicenes are a tough one. I don't have any particular advice unfortunately. I'll let you know if I find something

Super cool

i had to watch this video in 0.5 speed
In the beginin of the v u draw that molecul or the pc🫢🫢🙂😤😤 ? How can i be bettre than u in this 😤☠️
Audio is doubled. Sounds like two identical tapes offset by half a second. Not understandable..
That is strange, you are the first person for whom this is a problem. Could you try on a different computer?
