Bundled with ACD/ChemSketch to provide the most comprehensive drawing package in the world, are ACD/Dictionary, ACD/Tautomers, ACD/3D Viewer, ACD/Name Freeware, ACD/Labs Extension for ChemDraw, ACD/I-Lab Add-on for ChemSketch, ACD/ChemPalm, ACD/ChemPalm Extension for ChemDraw, ACD/ChemPalm Add-ins for ISIS (Base/Host or Draw), and ACD/ChemBasic.
These added features enable users to access more than 103,000 systematic and non-systematic names, registry numbers and abbreviations, produce 3D representation of a chemical structure, check and generate tautometric forms of drawn organic structures, process an IUPAC name for a structure, integrate ACD/ChemSketch with third-party software, transfer structures to a Palm OS-based PDA, and customise routine tasks.
Flexibility and customisability of the ACD/ChemSketch users interface has been dramatically improved in version 7.0.
Toolbars are now contemporary and customisable to enable users to select and design a toolbar that is best suited for their specific needs, therefore increasing workspace.
Reach less frequently used toolbar buttons that have been eliminated from the toolbar through a new popup window.
Scientists are able to calculate and predict various chemical properties such as chemical formula, molecular weight, percentage composition, density, and refractive index.
The new structure search system enables users to search, locate, and transfer a structure or substructure from various file formats to ACD/ChemSketch.
An advanced feature in ACD/ChemSketch version 7.0 allows users to send chemical structures to any standard Palm OS-based PDA and view them on the handheld screen using ACD/ChemPalm.
ACD/ChemPalm is seamlessly integrated with ACD/ChemSketch and ACD/ChemFolder to enable storing, browsing, and searching of sophisticated chemical databases containing structures and accompanying analytical information on any handheld.
Up to approximately 20,000 structures can be stored and searched on a standard 8MB PDA for convenient access.
"ACD/ChemSketch is now used as a molecular structure drawing package on over a quarter of a million computers worldwide.
With version 7.0 we enable handheld chemistry.
Structures drawn in ACD/ChemSketch can now be synchronised to a PDA operating under the Palm operating system and viewed in ACD/ChemPalm," comments Antony Williams, VP of scientific development and marketing at ACD/Labs.
