Several
times some people wrote to me that they had been using Chemcraft during several
years, and only after that they found some Chemcraft features which were useful
for them, and it is a pity that they were not aware of these features during
these years. To check how widespread such situation is, I created a poll in the
Chemcraft facebook group:
As you can
see from this screenshot, 6 of 11 people voted that they looked through the
Gallery and Hints webpage and after that they indeed found some features useful
for them. Among others, 4 people were already aware of almost all features so
they didn’t need to look through the Gallery.
This poll
illustrates that many Chemcraft users make a common mistake – they don’t look
through our gallery and don’t know about some good features.
So, if you
have purchased Chemcraft or plan to do that, we highly recommend you to look
through our gallery. Once again, visit the following two webpages:
One more
advice is to simply read the names of all menu items (including submenus) of
the Chemcraft main window. These menu items have long and descriptive names,
e.g. “Insert dummy atom into center of selected atoms”, “Move coordinate center
to selected atom”, “Release all current captions to supplement the captions
with new ones”, “Calculate the energy of e reaction”, “Modify multiply Gaussian
input files”, “Build animated gif from a set of bitmap/jpeg files”, etc.
