Edit Menu in MarvinSketch

    This menu contains general clipboard operations like Copy and Paste, structure selecting and deleting commands, as well as Marvin-specific editing options.

    Paste images/download/thumbnails/5317496/paste24.png Inserts the contents of the clipboard at the location of the cursor, without replacing selection.
    Select All Selects the structure being on the canvas including all fragments and graphical objects.
    Invert Selection Changes the current selection such that everything previously unselected will now be selected and vice versa
    Delete images/download/thumbnails/5317496/delete-mode24.png Removes the selection from the canvas.
    Align > Left images/download/thumbnails/5317389/align_left_24.png Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
    Align > Centers Vertically images/download/thumbnails/5317389/align_center_24.png Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
    Align > Right images/download/thumbnails/5317389/align_right_24.png Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
    Align > Topimages/download/thumbnails/5317389/align_top_24.png Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
    Align > Center Horizontallyimages/download/thumbnails/5317389/align_middle_24.png Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
    Align > Bottom images/download/thumbnails/5317389/align_bottom_24.png Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
    Distribute > Horizontally images/download/thumbnails/5317389/distribute_horizontally_24.png Distribute objects horizontally at an equal distance apart.
    Distribute > Vertically images/download/thumbnails/5317389/distribute_vertically_24.png Distribute objects vertically at an equal distance apart.
    Align and Distribute > Horizontally Performs alignment and distribution horizontally.
    Align and Distribute > Vertically Performs alignment and distribution vertically.
    Transform These transformations affect the molecular coordinates. Note: The structure will be saved with the altered coordinates.
    Transform > Drag Selection Moves selection on the canvas with changing coordinates.
    Transform > Rotate in 2D Rotates selection in the plane of the canvas with changing coordinates.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D > Around arbitrary axis Rotates selection in 3D around an axis defined by two atoms selected by the user.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D > Around X axis Rotates selection in 3D around a horizontal axis placed in the canvas.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D > Around Y axis Rotates selection in 3D around a vertical axis placed in the canvas.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D > Around Z axis Rotates the selection in 3D around an axis perpendicular to the canvas.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D > Free 3D rotation Rotates selection in 3D with changing coordinates. Compare it to the Rotate in 3D transformation of View menu, which affects only the position of observation.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D > Group rotation The selected group rotates around the bond that connects it to the molecule.
    Transform > Switch Transformation Changes transformation mode from Drag to Rotate in 2D, Rotate in 2D to Rotate in 3D, while Rotate in 3D to Drag.
    Transform > Flip > Flip Horizontally images/download/attachments/5317389/flip-horizontal-24px.png Flips the selected object(s) horizontally, preserving the configuration of all enantiomers.
    Transform > Flip > Flip Vertically images/download/attachments/5317389/flip-vertical-24px.png Flips the selected object(s) vertically, preserving the configuration of all enantiomers.
    Transform > Flip > Rotate 180° in Canvas images/download/attachments/5317389/rotate-to-canvas-24px.png Rotates the selected object(s) on the canvas plane, preserving the configuration of all enantiomers.
    Transform > Flip > Group Flip Rotates the selected structure group by 180° around an axis set on the bond connecting the selection to the rest of the molecule. Stereocenters in the molecules are retained, the wedge bond styles change to keep the stereo information.
    Transform > Mirror > Mirror Horizontally images/download/attachments/5317389/mirror-horizontal-24px.png Mirrors the selected object(s) horizontally, inverting the configuration of all enantiomers.
    Transform > Mirror > Mirror Vertically images/download/attachments/5317389/mirror-vertical-24px.png Mirrors the selected object(s) vertically, inverting the configuration of all enantiomers.
    Transform > Mirror > Mirror to Canvas Plane images/download/attachments/5317389/mirror-to-canvas-24px.png Mirrors the selected object(s) to the canvas plane, inverting the configuration of all enantiomers.
    Transform > Mirror > Group Mirror Mirrors the selected group if it has only one connecting bond to the structure.
    Transform > Invert > Invert to geometric center Reflects the selected fragment(s) through the geometric center point.
    Transform > Invert > Invert to an arbitrary center Reflects the selected fragment(s) through the chosen point in any fragment (an atom).
    Transform > 3D plane Rotates the molecule to place the selected 3 atoms into the plane of the canvas.
    Object > Bring to Front Brings the selected object in front of all others.
    Object > Send to Back Places the selected object behind all others.
    Format Changes atom and bond drawing properties in the document.
    Template Library images/download/thumbnails/5317389/templates24.png Organized collection of template molecules can be edited.
    Source You can alter a molecule by directly editing its source in the Edit Source window. You can view and edit the source in any of the supported file formats.
    Preferences images/download/thumbnails/5317389/options24.png The Preferences dialog window allows you to change many of the MarvinSketch display settings, error highlighting, and object visibility.
