If you use a Mac and ChemDraw, now is the time to learn the changed procedure to copy-and-paste ChemDraw elements for roundtrip editing with MS Office documents. The changed occurred after Microsoft Office 2011 (Mac). And staying with that version of Office is not a viable long-term solution.
ChemDraw® Prime is your everyday work horse solution for saving time drawing and publishing your experiments.
- Best ChemDraw Alternatives in 2018. ChemDraw is described as 'Utility for processing, structuring, and drawing chemical data' and is an app in the Education & Reference category. There are more than 10 alternatives to ChemDraw for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, iPhone and iPad. The best alternative is Marvin, which is free.
