  Manipulating Structures with the Mouse
   

All operations are handled by simple mouse manipulation. Rotation of the structure on display is carried out manually by moving the mouse while holding down the button (left button on the PC mouse), sliding the mouse horizontally or vertically causes the molecule to rotate on the screen.
To control the size of the structure on display, move the mouse up and down while pressing the shift key and mouse button.

The position of the structure is adjusted by simultaneously depressing the Control and Option keys while holding down the mouse button and moving the mouse (Macintosh). On the PC, depress the Control key and move the mouse while holding down the right mouse button.

The display options are selected via a popup menu which appears when you hold down the mouse button over the structure (Macintosh). On the PC, click and hold the right mouse button over the structure to see the popup menu.

To download the MDLmol file describing the optimized structure, click Save molecule as on the popup menu.
