Use this option to specify the default structure editor. The selected structure editor can be used to work with structures if the selected structure editor is installed on the computer.

The following structure editors are available:

• Marvin .NET

• ChemDraw 15

• ChemDraw 16

• ChemDraw 18

• ChemDraw 19

{info} For ChemDraw editors, the 64-bit Office environment is supported since ChemDraw 18. If you try to use an earlier ChemDraw editor on 64-bit Office environment the following error message appears: This editor doesn't support a 64-bit environment.
