Send to Chem3D

• A script for chemdraw, that sends a selected structure to Chem3D, needs to be stored in the Chemdraw folder with the other chemdraw scripts
  

My dihedral driver

• A Chem3D script that creates conformations around a selected dihedral at user defined steps and allows the user to define the minimisation criterion.Needs to be put in the MM2 folder within the Chem 3D scripts folder
  

 Chem Props

• Chem3D script that calculates a variety of properties and displays them in a dialog box. This script also shows how you can use Chem3D to calculate properties and store them as variables for use elsewhere. Needs to be put in the Analyze folder within the Chem3D scripts folder
  

Rule of Five

• A Chem3D script that calculates the number of possible H-bond interactions, MWt, and LogP and tells if it has passed the "Rule of Five" criterion.
  

Switch_off_tag

• There is a bug in CS Table Editor when run under MacOS 9.x that only allows you to save as stationary files, whilst you can change this by using "Get info" and deselecting the option, if you double click on this script you can navigate to a folder of Table files and it will correct all files in the folder and sub folders.
  

Change_color_scripts

• These applescripts change the colors of the background and the foreground of a ChemDraw File. Included are three scripts that change the colors to white on black, white on blue, or the standard black on white. Written by Brian Myers ( Website)
  

Send_to_Microsoft_Word

• This Script was written for ChemDraw 6.0. It copies a selection (or the entire document) then pastes it into Microsoft Word (without floating it over text!). The insertion in Word occurs at the last position of the cursor. After being pasted in, the structure is centered. The script has been tested with Mac OS 8.6/9.04/9.1 using Chemdraw 6.0 and Microsoft Word 98 and 2001. Feel free to modify this script.Written by Brian Myers 1/22/2001 Questions?
  

Flexible Dihedral Search

• A Chem3D script that allows a dihedral to be rotated in either direction using positive or negative angle increments. For asymmetric molecules, rotational energy barriers may vary considerably depending on direction. The total extent of rotation can be specified if the area of interest is less or more than 360 degrees. Since a large molecule may not return to its initial state after one revolution, several turns may be desirable. Calculations will terminate if the desired convergence criterion has not been attained for a given conformation after a specified time limit. Needs to be put in the MM2 folder within the Chem3D Scripts folder. Written by Alan Wolfe
  

Dihedral Search_Plot

• This is a modification of the above script, I have added a modified front end, using the scripting extension Dialog Director to allows the user to enter all parameters in a single dialog box. This requires the excellent free scripting extension Dialog Director. I have also added a plotting function this requires gnuplot to provide a graph of dihedral versus steric energy.
  

Insert chemdraw

• This script needs to be in the BBEdit scripts folder, when editing an HTML document selecting this script presents you with a dialog box requesting location of the chemdraw file, ID number for the plugin instance in the page, and whether it should be editable by the viewer. It then inserts the appropriate HTML into the BBEdit document allowing the structure to be viewed using the chemdraw plugin. This requires the excellent free scripting extension Dialog Director (http://www.hylight.demon.co.uk/DialogDirector/)
  

Insert SMILES

• Did you know you that the chemdraw plugin can be used to display a SMILES string? In a similar fashion to the above script this helps you add the appropriate HTML text to your web page. This requires the excellent free scripting extension Dialog Director (http://www.hylight.demon.co.uk/DialogDirector/)
  

Extract Structures

• Ever written a manuscript and then been asked to provide all the structures seperately? This script from Bob Grossman should make this less painful.The purpose of the following macro and script is to take a Word file with embedded ChemDraw graphics and to save each individual graphic in its own EPS for Mac file. You will want to run this macro and script if you are publishing a book that you wrote with Word and ChemDraw, and you didn't save the individual ChemDraw files.First delete all tables in your Word file or convert them into text. Now run this WordBasic macro. It will remove all characters from your file other than the graphics. You will probably want to save the resulting document separately
  
  Sub MAIN

  StartOfDocument

  While AtEndOfDocument() = 0

  WordRight 1, 1

  If Asc(Selection$()) < 256 And Asc(Selection$()) > 1 Then EditClear Else WordRight 1

  Wend

  End Sub

  (Note: Word 98 and later do not support WordBasic, but you can convert a Word 6 template containing the WordBasic macro into a Word98 template.)

• After you run the WordBasic macro, obtain the (free) control panel Okey Dokey Pro and set it up to run for ChemDraw. (You will need to restart your computer if you don't already have Okey Dokey.) Start ChemDraw and open a window with desired drawing and text settings. Open the graphics-containing Word file that you stripped of text. Then open your AppleScript Editor, paste in this AppleScript text , and run it. The script will prompt you to choose a folder in which to store the graphics files. It will name the files "gr1.EPS", gr2.EPS", etc. Be sure that the names of your Word & ChemDraw applications are given correctly in the script. If the script crashes, just delete the last file saved, restart ChemDraw if necessary, then restart the script. It will begin where it left off. The script will stop when it reaches an ASCII character such as the return character at the end of the Word file. This script should work for other versions of Word and ChemDraw, too.
