ChemDoodle v1.3.0 has been released. Listed below are all of the additions and fixes for version 1.3.0. For the complete version history of ChemDoodle, click here.

Additions

1. ChemDraw files (*.cdx) and ChemDraw XML files (*.cdxml) can now be flawlessly read and written. Share your documents with ChemDraw users with ease or submit ChemDraw documents with publication manuscripts if required! Mutually exclusive objects cannot be save or read such as ChemDoodle multiplet simulations. You may read more about this feature here.
2. Added read and write support for Chemical Markup Language (*.cml).
3. A message now appears when saving formats that cannot describe all ChemDoodle objects. This messasge will describe the format and any possible changes to your document when you save. These messages can be disabled in the Save tab in the Preferences dialog.
4. SMILES strings are now generated. You can access this feature by dragging a selected molecule or group of objects onto the SMILES Palette or its icon. You may also select a molecule and group of objects and select the Generate SMILES String menu item in the right-click menu. The SMILES Palette now contains a new button to copy the contents of the text field directly to the system clipboard. Added a new option in the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog to control SMILES copying/pasting behavior.
5. Added 5 new bond types: wavy, two-electron, bond and thin double, quintuple and sextuple.
6. Renovated the shape system in ChemDoodle (all properties are now instance specific):
   1. Shape groups have been implemented. New button groups contain various preset settings for common shapes and can be recognized by a small arrow in the bottom-right corner of the button. Click, as usual, to use the object. Press down and hold for a second to display a sub-toolbar with other presets for that shape. Just drag and release over the new presets to select them.
   2. Added an arc shape type.
   3. Mechanism arrows may now be preset at 120°. Arcs and mechanism arrows can now be altered to display at any arc angle.
   4. Added a new shape properties dialog that can be accessed by selecting the Format Shape menu item in the shape's right-click menu.
   5. Added shadow property.
   6. Added shaded property.
   7. Added stroke thickness property.
   8. Added hash properties.
   9. Added parenthesis and curly bracket types.
   10. Added wavy line type.
   11. Added rounded rectangle type.
   12. Added many new arrowhead options with complete control over their look.
   13. Added reaction arrow types: towards products, towards reactants.
   14. Changing shape properties can be undone and redone.
7. Added a new Hidden Carbon Angle property to govern the angle at which "hidden" carbons will display their label between two near parallel single bonds. Added an option to turn hidden carbons off. This can all be accessed in the Visuals tab in the Preferences dialog.
8. There is a new Page tab in the Preferences dialog. This tab now holds the Create Chemical Document Settings File button. New sections are added to control the page dimensions and margins.
9. Added and option to the Multiplet tool to govern which direction the scale is oriented.
10. Added a feature to display unique atom and bond ids. These options can be selected under the Unique IDs submenu in the View menu.
11. Added an iChemLabs Newsfeed menu item to the Help menu for easy access to stories and information regarding ChemDoodle.

Fixes

1. Optimized file reading and writing.
2. Current values are now displayed properly in page size dialogs.
3. Shape rotation system has been fixed. Shapes no longer loose their position after rotation. All rotations are now saved and copied accurately.
4. Minor HTML Area text changes can now be undone and redone.
5. Fixed problem where multiple consecutive returns in a label caused it to incorrectly calculate its bounds.
6. Labels and multiplets are now highlighted when lassoed.
7. Multiplets can now be rotated.
8. Removed rounding errors associated with brackets, zigzag bonds, wedge bonds, bond breakers and the pen tool.
9. Fixed an issue where copying a shape sometimes did not copy all of its properties correctly.
10. Removed redundant copy function from image right-click menus.
11. Fixed problem where both a selected group of objects and a hovered object could be right-clicked at the same time.
12. Symbols Widget now checks if the default font can display a given symbol before using the packaged unicode font.
13. Symbols Widget now checks the entire string to match abbreviation searches, and those searches are no longer case-sensitive.
14. Fixed Symbols Widget problem where some abbreviations were not appearing.
15. Fixed problem where MolGrabber LITE widget contents would temporarily disappear on mac if the area surrounding the text fields was clicked.
16. Saving MDL MOLFiles and SDFiles no longer changes the current opened document.
17. MDL MOLFiles and SDFiles are no longer saved with non-elemental atom labels.
18. MDL MOLFiles .mol extention is now used by default over .mdl.
19. Fixed problems where atom fonts were altered if switching between tabs while those atoms were selected.
20. Fixed mac problem where control+click did not initiate a right-click action.
21. Added a mouse pointer spinner to notify you if ChemDoodle is taking a very long time to load a file.
22. Fixed a few inconsistencies with the official Chemical Document Settings files.
23. Chemical Document Settings changes can now be undone and redone.
24. Fixed how reaction arrows were drawn weirdly if the direction was reversed.
