    How to draw a bond:

    images/download/attachments/5311149/image2015-2-10_11_37_13.png

    Selecting a bond type and clicking or dragging on the canvas will create a new bond with the default length and with carbon atoms on both ends.

    You can also draw a new bond by dragging from an already existing atom or clicking on it with an active bond tool.
