When I paste a structure from ChemDraw that contains Nicknames into CS TableEditor, it does not calculate the 3Dmodel, molecular weight or molecular formula. I get the error message, "[Your Nickname] does not begin with a recognized element"

Problem:

When I paste a structure from ChemDraw that contains Nicknames into CS TableEditor, it does not calculate the 3D model, molecular weight or molecular formula. I get the error message, "The contents of this cell cannot be displayed because 'your Nickname does not begin with a recognized element or substructure name."

Solution:

Chem3D is used to calculate these values. You must define your ChemDraw Nicknames as substructures in Chem3D, so it will understand these values.
