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.

Undo	Reverses the last command or the last entry you typed.
Redo	Reverses the action of the last Undo command.
Cut	Removes and copies the selection to the clipboard.
Copy	Copies the selection to the clipboard.
Copy As ...	Copies the selection to the clipboard in the specified format.
Copy As MRV	Copies the selection to the clipboard in MRV format.
Copy As OLE	Copies the selection to the clipboard in OLE format.
Copy As Smiles	Copies the selection to the clipboard in SMILES format.
Paste	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	Removes the selection from the canvas.
Align > Left	Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
Align > Centers Vertically	Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
Align > Right	Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
Align > Top	Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
Align > Center Horizontally	Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
Align > Bottom	Aligns the structures, graphical objects and textboxes along their centers or edges.
Distribute > Horizontally	Distribute objects horizontally at an equal distance apart.
Distribute > Vertically	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	Flips the selected object(s) horizontally, preserving the configuration of all enantiomers.
Transform > Flip > Flip Vertically	Flips the selected object(s) vertically, preserving the configuration of all enantiomers.
Transform > Flip > Rotate 180° in Canvas	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	Mirrors the selected object(s) horizontally, inverting the configuration of all enantiomers.
Transform > Mirror > Mirror Vertically	Mirrors the selected object(s) vertically, inverting the configuration of all enantiomers.
Transform > Mirror > Mirror to Canvas Plane	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	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	The Preferences dialog window allows you to change many of the MarvinSketch display settings, error highlighting, and object visibility.
