Templates
ChemBioDraw 13.0 includes a library of templates. You can use a template either as a starting point for a new drawing
or to add to an existing drawing. A palette is a set of templates.
The templates you define are not limited to atoms and bonds. Templates can also contain captions, colors, boxes,
arcs, orbitals, arrows, reaction mechanism symbols, and curves. You can also paste pictures from other applications
into a template pane. You can also download templates from the PerkinElmer Informatics web site and use them. For
more information on available templates and user downloadable templates, see ChemBioDraw template files, and
BioDraw templates.
To open a template, do either of the following:
Select a template toolbar from the Main toolbar.
Go to View>Templates and select a template toolbar from the list.
To add to a drawing using a template,
1. Select the required template from the template toolbar.
2. In the document window, click and drag the mouse until the template is oriented the way you need.
Tip: To modify the template size, press ALT while drawing it.
You can also use the templates to add structural features to existing drawings. To do so:
1. Select the required template from the template toolbar.
2. Click a bond in the existing drawing to add the template structure.
