Attached data
Using field names, you can attach text to objects such as atoms and bonds. The feature is compatible with the “Data
SGroup” in MDL formats, and is converted to Data SGroups when saved in MDL formats if a field name is specified
and it is attached to a collection of atoms and bonds, or single set of brackets.
When attached to a collection of atoms and bonds and a set of brackets, a field name is converted to two different
Data SGroups.
To attach data to an object:
1. Select the object.
2. Go to Object>Attach Data.
The Attach Data dialog box appears.
3. Enter the field name and click OK.
4. Enter the data in the text box under the object.
Note: You cannot edit field names in ChemBioDraw 13.0. While ChemBioDraw 13.0 allows any field name length,
MDL formats have their own restrictions. Likewise, ChemBioDraw 13.0 allows data to be attached to any object.
When saving to MDL formats, data is lost unless the object meets the conditions noted above.
Modifying attached data
Two additional commands appear on the context menu when you select attached data.
Select Linked Objects changes the selection to include all of the objects associated with the data.
Position lets you position the data relative to the associated structure.
Note: Positioning information is lost whenever you save to MDL formats.
