[Xdrawchem-announce] XDrawChem 1.7.3

[Bryan H. <gt...@ma...>]

XDrawChem 1.7.3 is finally available:

http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte067k/xdrawchem/

The following features have been added:
- At long last, XDrawChem now has a ruler, and can draw grid lines.  It
can also optionally snap to the grid.  The grid settings are in
Format/Drawing settings.  Also, press Ctrl+G to toggle the grid on or off
(does not affect grid snap setting)

- There is now a simple octanol-water partition calculator, but it's not
as good as the many ClogP calculators I found on the web.

The following bugs have been fixed:
- The 13C-NMR dialog works again.

- The OpenBabel source has been patched to compile under more recent
gcc/g++ compilers.

And last but not least, the following issue(s) remain unresolved (so they
aren't reported again! :):
- Fotns do not print correctly, or in the correct place, in EPS and SVG
output formats.

- ChemDraw binary/XML filters still don't read a number of CDX files.

- Now that there is a ruler and grid, it's only a matter of time before
XDC can handle drawing in inches or centimeters.

Enjoy!
