I participated in a beta trial of a new release of Perkin-Elmer'sChemDraw 17 3-D & was surprised to receive a free download
ofChemDraw 17 Professional, which I used extensively in the past when I worked in chemical sales for a Japanese trading company &
as an IP consultant for a big biotech firm. I'm going to try to upload some random ChemDraw files I created & saved as jpeg format.

That looks really clean.

Thanks. it's a nice program. I'll post another. This is the new flu drug developed in Japan that hopefully will be on the market here in the U.S. in
time for the next flu season. It prevents the virus from replicating so treatment is only one pill, one day.

How does this compare with Chemsketch that I (and many others on the board) use regularly?

I have no idea since I've never used that app. But ChemDraw is the standard organic CAD app.

I have used ChemSketch and ChemDraw several times, and feel that ChemDraw is a superior program. It's easier to draw structures (I find) and seems to
have more pre-drawn structures, like cycloheptane etc. and chair cyclohexane that ChemSketch does not have. I also happen to find the explicit
labelling of CH3 groups in ChemSketch irritating, but that's personal preference. An advantage of the more widely used program is the
systematic naming function, which I find very useful, and frankly is the main reason I have both. But I find the interface for ChemDraw cleaner and
less cluttered, and it has far more templates and shortcuts than ChemSketch.

Chemsketch does have pre-drawn cycloheptane and some others, in the Table of Radicals in the right-hand pane. It has a lot more functionality within
easy reach. I find it to be an easier, much more intuitive to use program, while Chemdraw makes it annoying to draw anything that's not carbon. Would
pick Chemsketch even if Chemdraw was free; even as my uni gives it to us for free and makes us use it, I instead draw stuff in Chemsketch then copy
and paste lol. Some things to get displaced in the process and need to be fixed though
