On ChemDraw's 30th anniversary, C&EN ran a feature about the software's transformative role in chemistry.ĬhemDraw stores documents in one of two formats: CDX and CDXML. Over the years, ChemDraw's list of features has grown from chemical structure and reaction drawing to other tasks, including: biopolymer drawing physical property calculation name/structure conversion NMR simulation and database integration. It's also one of the formats accepted by the USPTO for patents and patent applications. ChemDraw is the de facto standard for creating graphics for publications and presentations, with every major journal providing settings for authors. Every chemist with experience beyond high school will probably have at least heard of it.
