ACD/3D Viewer features better graphics, more display options, and animated GIF exporting.
ACD/ChemSketch users can now use ACD/3D Viewer to create stunning rotating chemical images directly from their chemical drawing package. Available options help users define the speed of rotation, border size, number of frames included in the animated GIF, and a rotation axis for their structure. Animated GIFs can be created automatically, or manually edited to add select frames to the animation.
ACD/3D Viewer version 9.0 offers expanded choice of colors - 16 instead of the previous 8 in version 8.0.
Fixed angle rotation option was also added. This new feature allows users to define an axis and an angle increment for rotation - useful for creation of animated GIF files and manual stepwise rotation over a mouse click.
Atom information and attributes can be displayed on the 3D structures.
The ability to select atoms and perform operations with the selection is now available. This option allows users to select a number of atoms in a 3D structure, move and rotate the selection, and display the attributes of the selected atoms.
Undo/Redo option is also available.

- New button
 on the General toolbar of ChemSketch helps users start 3D Viewer (if needed) and pass the drawn structure along.
Enhancements in ACD/3D Viewer 3D optimization:
- Support of Hydrogen to Xenon atoms;
- Additional configurations: trigonal bipyramid and flat square; and
- Improved 3D optimization of 2D structures with chiral centers.
Display and work with 3D structures:
- Ability to modify the conformation of a chemical structure by manually changing bond and torsion angles, and distances;
- Structure representation in perspective;
- Option to invert the configuration of the chiral centers; and
- Ability to resize, move, and 2D rotate the 3D structure.
- The new Color Options dialog box includes instant color display and the ability to sort element names alphabetically,
- Similarly, the list of elements displayed in the Atoms' Radii dialog box can also be ordered alphabetically
