ChemDraw binary format (cdx)¶
Read only
The whole file is read in one call. Note that a file may contain a mixture of reactions and molecules. With the -ad option, a human-readable representation of the CDX tree structure is output as an OBText object. Use textformat to view it:
obabel input.cdx -otext -ad
Many reactions in CDX files are not fully specified with reaction data structures, and may not be completely interpreted by this parser.
Note
This is a read-only format.
Read Options¶
-m | read molecules only; no reactions |
-d | output CDX tree to OBText object |
-o | display only objects in tree output |
