6.15 Build a molecule with SMILES

VEGA ZZ allows to build molecules from their SMILES strings, selecting Edit -> Build -> SMILES in the main menu. The 1D structure of the SMILES string is converted to 3D clicking the Build button. The user can select the Current workspace or a New workspace as Destination of the 3D structure.

 

SMILES Editor

If the current workspace is not empty, the Get button allows to convert the 3D structure to a SMILES string. The same operation is possible selecting the Edit -> Copy special in the main menu and choosing SMILES, but the resulting string is copied to the clipboard instead of the SMILES window.
