Drawing Acyclic Chains

---

You can draw long hydrocarbon chains with the Acyclic Chain tool . The behavior of the Acyclic Chain tool is affected by the "Fixed Lengths" and "Fixed Angles" switches on the Object menu, and by the "Chain Angle" setting on the Object Settings dialog box.

NOTE: Modifying the Chain Angle value for an existing object will have no effect on that object, but new bonds/chains sprouted from it will sprout at the specified angle.

The effect of "Fixed Lengths" and "Fixed Angles" is noted in the specific sections where it applies.
