Purely extended formulas like CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 showing bonds aren't very convenient, but are doable. You can just draw butane (zig zag, or draw it linearly) then use the text tool to click on each terminal line or junction and label it with "CH3" or "CH2". Then select the entire structure and pick Flush Left (or something other than Automatic) under the TEXT menu. THEN you want to go back and scoot the carbons around. Turn off Fixed Length and Fixed Angle (under the menu OBJECT). Then select the single bond tool, then Shift-mouse down on a carbon and you are free to scoot and shift it to where it looks good. See, not the best. Remember the text tool does understand alkyl groups (phenyl groups, abbreviations, etc), so you can type on an atom "CH2CH2CH2CH3" and you get a nice butyl _group_ on something.
First in preferences->general be sure your measurements are in inches. Then under view->Show crosshairs). In the pallet select "drawing elements" (it looks like a box with a shadow) chose the line. Then just draw. You will measure the length with the grid you see on the page.
You can get a trial version at perkinelmerinformatics.com/products/research/chemdraw/ but just a word of warning, the purchase price is pretty high (crazy expensive, actually).
Thank you so much for the artistically great presentation
you have saved my day! thank you :)
Perfect basic video, thanks a lot!
Thank you! Extremely helpful.
hello sir
to day i have learned ho to draw the molecule thank u very much sirrr
That was helpful. Thank you!
thank you so much, your video is very helpful. ^^
which area you working?
im working on pharmacy area, For my final year project of pharmacy school i had work on chemical synthesis
Ok
Hey, how can i get the square background?
Is it possible to save different pages as same name. I mean as one chemdraw document.
Hello Sir can you please share the video about how to install chemdraw on MacBook Air M1?
Everything you need to install the program is scistore.cambridgesoft.com/chembiodraw/
@@mmccorm-chem Thank You for your kind consideration. I tried for trial version. But the chemdraw file is in .exe that my system doesn't support
How would you draw the expanded structural formula? Not the skeletal structure ?

How to insert alpha, omega,.....letters in chemdraw?
How do I get the program please
thanks)it will help me)
Thank you!
How can I draw a horrizontal line 10 cm in chemdraw
First in preferences->general be sure your measurements are in inches. Then under view->Show crosshairs). In the pallet select "drawing elements" (it looks like a box with a shadow) chose the line. Then just draw. You will measure the length with the grid you see on the page.
how can i convert IUPAC name with chemical structure to common name of compound
Google is your best bet for that, especially if you include "synonym" as a search term.
i see. thanks for your help!
How can I download this software for free for windows 8 and word? I am from India
Is chemdraw different from Chembiodraw?
Same thing. Old people and chemists call it by its original name, "Chemdraw". Sorry for the confusion.
Oh I see, thank you Mr. McCormick :)
Pls, make tutorial how to download chembiodraws
How to download link plz send
