ChemDraw is a molecule editor first developed in 1985 by David A. Evans and Stewart Rubenstein^[1] (later by the cheminformatics company CambridgeSoft). The company was sold to PerkinElmer in the year 2011.^[2] ChemDraw, along with Chem3D and ChemFinder, is part of the ChemOffice suite of programs and is available for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. A simplified, touch optimized version for the iPad was released in late 2013.

Features of ChemDraw 12.0

• Chemical structure to name conversion
• Chemical name to structure conversion
• NMR spectrum simulation (¹H and ¹³C)
• Mass spectrum simulation
• Structure cleanup
• An extensive collection of templates, including style templates for most major chemical journals.
• Export to SVG (Windows Version only)
• Export to PDF (Mac Version only)

File format

The native file formats for ChemDraw are the binary CDX and the preferred XML-based CDXML formats. ChemDraw also can import from, and export to, MOL, SDF, and SKC chemical file formats.

Plugins

SDK for ChemDraw enables third-party developers to write plugins. For example, - Quick HotKey helps to set up HotKeys in interactive mode, instead manually editing of text file. The Plugin site appears to have been abandoned.

ChemDraw® and ChemOffice® 17 deliver all the functionality of version 16, plus new feature additions to accelerate research even faster and enable new and growing areas of scientific research. Plus, we are adding to our bundle options to give you the broader set of scientific tools you need to do your research, from 3D modelling to spectroscopic analysis, to access to a brand new, web based Electronic Lab Notebook and scientific documentation and collaboration platform.

• ChemDraw Prime is the complete entry-level structure drawing program, with all the tools you need to quickly create chemically intelligent, publication-ready chemical structures and reactions, laboratory notes and experiment write-ups. Beyond a full set of chemical structure essentials (e.g. rings, bonds, chains, atoms and functional groups), ChemDraw Prime includes property calculators, chemical and lab equipment templates and handy TLC and Gel Electrophoresis Plate drawing tools.
• ChemDraw Professional takes chemical drawing to the next level, with all the features in ChemDraw Prime plus: access to ChemDraw Cloud, biopolymer tools, BioDraw, NMR prediction, advanced Name to Structure, enhanced retrosynthesis tool, and even integration with chemical databases like including SciFinder®. ChemDraw Professional also enables structure data exploration supports organization and processing with ChemDraw for Excel, ChemFinder Standard, ChemScript and ChemDraw 3D.
• ChemOffice Professional is the most robust, scientifically intelligent research productivity suite in the world. It builds on the foundations of ChemDraw Prime and Professional, and adds access to powerful tools like ChemDraw Cloud, ChemDraw E-Notebook, Chem3D and ChemFinder Ultra and 3rd party interacts - helping chemists and biologists alike efficiently keep track of their work, visualize and gain a deeper understanding of their results.
• ChemDraw Direct modularized ChemDraw functionality for the web! Built on the latest in JavaScript and HTML5, ChemDraw Direct can be plugged into web browsers and internal applications that need to be chemicalized. Inside its lightweight packages, ChemDraw direct carries the core functionality of the ChemDraw family including: your favorite drawing capabilities, advanced Name to Structure, Structure to Name, Hotkeys/Shortcuts, Structure Templates and Structure Query Tools.
  Plus, ChemDraw Direct is built into ChemDraw E-Notebook, it is in use in McGraw Hill’s digital learning environment Connect, and in a series of both internally and externally facing applications that need the chemical intelligence that ChemDraw provides. You can access a test page for ChemDraw Direct here.
