Drawing Cyclopentadiene and Benzene Rings

---

The double bonds in the cyclopentadiene or benzene ring tools can be drawn in either of two forms.

When you draw a cyclopentadiene or benzene ring a double bond is drawn first. The Cyclopentadiene and Benzene Ring tool pointers indicate this orientation.

To shift the orientation so the first bond drawn is a single bond, do one of the following:

• Shift+drag from the beginning of the first single bond to the end of the single bond.
• Shift+click in a document window to draw the bond with a Fixed Length.

In the figure below, the arrow indicates the direction in which the first bond is drawn.
