ChemDraw enables you to quickly and effectively draw 2D molecules, reactions and biological structures and pathways for use in documents, presentations and database searches.
The University of Bath has a licence for Signals ChemDraw, provided by DD&T. The licence allows you to download the software to your own computer (Windows or Mac). The version currently installed on University computers is ChemDraw 25. Installation support is provided by the Library.
Information about using ChemDraw, e.g. user manuals, can be found directly within the Revvity Signals platform. When connected, navigate to the help section at the bottom of the page, and click on the 'help center' icon.
Once in the Help Center, click on the signalsChemDraw tile.
For getting started instructions and tutorials, follow the link to the ChemDraw for Signals - Online Help.
This opens up an online user manual. Navigate to the last section to find step by step tutorials.
You can access ChemDraw via the Revvity Signals online platform.

There are different 'tiles' from the Apps list relevant to ChemDraw:
This is where you can launch the desktop version of ChemDraw, if it is already installed on your computer. If not, download it using the ChemDraw Installers tile on the page and follow the instructions to install and activate your copy of ChemDraw.
This is a cloud-based, continuously updated version of ChemDraw.
To access ChemDraw from public access computers in the Library or PC labs:
Go to Start – ChemDraw Applications – ChemDraw 25
When prompted to Sign In to Signals, click the Sign In button (do not change the Signals URL already there by default).
This will open up a page on a separate browser. If this is the first time you use ChemDraw, you will be asked to complete your profile to continue. Simply enter your name as requested. You may also be asked to allow ChemDraw desktop to access your Signals Notebook experiments.
