When are there ever no 2D coordinates? My big question for you is why you want to show all the hydrogens. This really complicates the 2D layout, since there are a lot of things to place. It's also non-customary in Chemistry.. a more typical thing is to show terminal CH3 and explicit H atoms on heteroatoms and other places where they are needed. As far as the [Na+] fragment, the default is to place separate fragments some distance. Certainly there's some "beauty" putting them closer to an associated negative charge, so that's a interesting feature request. ChemDraw, for example, seems to do this. -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
