CCL: ChemDoodle 6 is Available!

 Sent to CCL by: "Kevin  Theisen" [kevin,,ichemlabs.com]
 We are pleased to announce that ChemDoodle 6 is available. Included are hundreds
 of new features
 and improvements (main list at bottom).
 While our competition works hard to charge customers higher prices, we work hard
 to provide high
 quality tools at very affordable prices. Our goal is to focus on helping
 scientists and students, so we
 support Mac OS X and Linux equally to Windows and support academia equally to
 industry. This
 model has allowed us to grow ChemDoodle into one of the most popular chemical
 software tools
 available, with a huge user base in over 80 countries. You give us the
 inspiration to continue to
 innovate and provide the best chemical software solutions. Thank you!
 ChemDoodle is still the same low price as always. Both new users and those that
 have already tried a
 trial of ChemDoodle, will be able to start a new trial of ChemDoodle 6:

 New features in ChemDoodle 6:
 1. IUPAC naming with over 20 options!
 2. Carbon nanotube and prism builders. Both zigzag and armchair nanotubes can be
 built. These
 tools quickly produce 3D geometries.
 3. Auto updating labels can now be attached to molecules, so they will update
 with IUPAC names,
 molecular formulas and more.
 4. Mac OS X Quick Look plugin. Easily preview all your chemical files in Finder
 just by pressing the
 space key.
 5. More Windows support, including a more powerful tool for supporting Windows
 filetype
 associations with the option to unassign types, support for the MDLCT and MDLSK
 clipboard
 formats for copying and pasting between a wider array of chemical applications,
 and greatly
 improved OLE support to allow for double-clicking to edit structures.
 6. More glassware, including a new organized glassware window. You can now also
 remove liquid
 > from the templates.
 7. Significantly improved graphics. Graphics in ChemDoodle were already very
 good, but we took a
 look at all the graphics at very high scales and resolutions. We have made sure
 to focus on all the
 little details. Bond join edge cases have been improved. Hashes are now auto
 centered, making
 recessed bonds and dashed bonds look much nicer. Other bond types have been
 scrutinized for the
 best aesthetics. Convex hull algorithms have been built for better placement of
 bonds around
 labels. Cis double bonds will now prefer the inside edge. Circles over charges
 now only surround the
 number. Aromatic ring circles now meld to the shape of aromatic circles. Arrows
 look nicer. You
 won't find better graphics in any other application.
 8. 3D coordinate generation.
 9. A new 180 chain angle clean option for easily creating Lewis structures and
 figures with 90
 angles.
 10. Complex embedded ring systems (like corannulene) now clean very well in 2D.
 11. Added resolution controls to the Elemental Analysis widget.
 12. Meso stereochemistry support.
 13. An advanced formatted text system for the system clipboard. You can now copy
 and paste your
 molecular formulas, IUPAC names and others into word processing applications
 with formatting
 intact.
 14. Many other minor, but useful features: option for the delete key to
 decrement bonds, nominal
 mass counter, improvements to the TLC Plate widget, improvements to arc
 placement previews, alt
 and shift now modify attribute placement just like placing bonds, improved file
 chooser previews for
 data files, more templates for the Templates widget, and more.
 15. Squashing of dozens of bugs.
