Version 2024 of Name adds new features to name cyclophanes and amido acid substituents according to IUPAC nomenclature, among other naming improvements. Read below for details, and contact us for help upgrading your software.
Generate IUPAC Names for Cyclophanes and Amido Substituents
- You can now generate IUPAC names for cyclophanes according to phane nomenclature

Name also includes ChemSketch. We’ve improved features for this as well:
Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Modify Structures
- You can now use keyboard shortcuts to modify bonds and atoms. Hover over the item and press: 1 single; 2 double; 3 triple; h hashed; s dashed; b bold; c coordination; or a any for bonds; + increase atom charge; – decrease atom charge; backspace delete; b change atom to Br; or r R atom label

Improved Options for Editing Objects
- You can now resize objects by changing the units or percentage size; use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R
- You can now rotate objects by exact angle and direction of rotation; use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R
- You can now quickly access all arrow variations under each line and curve drawing tool button
Improvement to File Management Preferences
- You can now specify an increment to save a temporary copy of your file while working
- You can now preview your files before opening
