A really interesting update to the popular chemical drawing package ChemDoodle.

The focus of this update is chemical data recovery. You can now copy and paste chemical figures (regardless of the chemical software use to create the figures) from applications on Windows and macOS into ChemDoodle to recover the original chemical drawings for extraction and further editing. We also have a new tool in ChemDoodle for searching Microsoft® Office files to extract chemical drawings if you do not have access to the original operating system or Microsoft Office anymore. This update includes significant work on CDX and CDXML file support with a goal of reproducing graphics in a pixel-perfect manner.

One of the major benefits of this is it allows macOS users to finally collaborate with Windows users in creating chemistry documents. You can use the MS Office recovery tools in ChemDoodle to extract and edit figures created on different operating systems!
