[Rdkit-discuss] bond length in 2D structure drawing

[Axel P. <axe...@gm...>]

Dear fellow RDKitters,

I have an SD file with 2D molecules generated by another Cheminformatics 
toolkit (yes, there are others! ;-) ).
When I depict them with RDKit (with Draw.MolToImage()) they look very 
condensed with too short bonds and just appear not right.
When I re-generate the coordinates by using Compute2DCoord(), the 
structure drawings do look great, but RDkit re-calculates all 
coordinates and the orientation of the whole molecule is completely changed.
Can I avoid this, keep the original orientation of the molecules and 
just do something like "apply drawing settings" or "use standard bond 
lengths" to a molecule?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Axel
