How to use the ChemDraw cross-hairs

The crosshair is an effective calibration tool in the ChemDraw Page Setup , which allows you to calibrate multiple structural graphs and keep them at a distance, using the cross-alignment tool to move through the ChemDraw document window. The cross-alignment tool can be used in conjunction with the ruler tool to draw a more efficient and accurate graphical structure. The following will teach you how to use the ChemDraw cross-hairs.

First, display ChemDraw cross-hairs

Select the show crosshair (show crosshair) command from the View menu, at which point the check mark "tick" appears before the show Crosshair command, indicating that the selection was successful and that the crosshair appears in the ChemDraw document window.

To assist in calibrating the structure graph, the cross-hairs are lattice in the ChemDraw document window, where two crosses are in bold line, called the Cross-guide axis.

Second, mobile ChemDraw cross-alignment

Mastering the "Cross-alignment" method of movement allows you to flexibly calibrate the structure of the various parts of the ChemDraw document window, so here's how to move the crosshair.

1. Place the cursor at the intersection of the intersection line two axes where the cursor changes to an arrow (as shown);

2, press "cross-alignment" can be.

Third, using ChemDraw cross-alignment calibration structure graphics

1, the use of "cross-alignment" to calibrate the structure of the graphics there are two ways: either the structure of the graphics do not move, the "cross-alignment" axis, or "cross-alignment" axis is not moving, select the structural graphics need to be calibrated to move the structure calibration. In both cases, if the structure's key or structure's straight line falls just above the crosshair axis, they will not be visible (as shown).

2, if using the "cross-guide" to calibrate two structural graphics, using the selection tool to select one of the structural graphics, and then the "cross-alignment" axis as a reference line, the other structural graphics and the first structure to calibrate the graphic.

3. Using the Select tool to select a structural graphic, to calibrate a small distance toward the cross-alignment axis, you can use the Arrow tool to move the structure graphic: Move 1 points (0.035cm) in the direction of the arrow each time the selected structure is pressed; press ALT + arrow key to Move 10 points (0.35cm) in the direction of the arrow each time the selected structure is pressed.

Four, hidden ChemDraw cross-hairs

In some cases you might want to hide the crosshair, and then select the show Crosshair (show crosshair) command from the View menu, where the check mark before the show crosshair command disappears and the crosshair is hidden.

The above is how to use the content of ChemDraw cross-hairs in the page setup, hope to be helpful to your study, if you want to use the "crosshair" tool and the "ruler" tool, improve the ChemDraw document quality, please refer to teach you how to use the ChemDraw ruler tool.
