Abrupt CD termination on 3D Clean Up of 2+ Cp rings from the Template (accept flat projection)

SEVERITY: HIGH!


BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

Abrupt ChemDraw program termination on 3D Clean Up for 2+ Cp Rings from the Template (Clar, not Kekulé representation of Cp aromatic ring [doughnut appearance]).

DISCUSSION:

A process of 3D Clean Up for 2+ Cp aromatic rings in Clar representation created in ChemDraw by one of the following ways is finished correctly without CD termination:

  • Select Cyclopentane tool from the Main Toolbar, hold Ctrl-button and click in the document twice to make 2 Cp rings in Clar representation (VD-BetaV21-0003.png). Select BOTH Cp Rings and run Structure 3D Clean Up for the selection [Ctrl+Shift+D].

  • Select Cyclopentadiene tool from the Main Toolbar, hold Ctrl-button and click in the document twice to make 2 Cp rings in Clar representation (VD-BetaV21-0003.png). Select BOTH Cp Rings and run Structure 3D Clean Up for the selection [Ctrl+Shift+D].

However, drawing in the document 2+ [the same or different] Cp rings structures from "Cp Rings" Template and running 3D Structure Clean Up when those 2+ Cp rings are simultaneously selected leads to ChemDraw abrupt termination.

The only option, when ChemDraw is not terminated during 3D Clean Up for 2+ Cp rings projections from "Cp Rings" Template is for a flat Clar representation of Cp ring [column 1, raw 2] (VD-BetaV21-0004.png, green rectangle). ChemDraw is still terminated for selection of 2+ Cp rings from the Template, if at least one of the structures is not flat Clar representation of Cp ring from the Template (VD-BetaV21-0005.png).

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

No program termination.
