The options on the Display menu control the appearance and orientation of structures. For other options that govern the display of reactions, see Preferences.


Carbons

Change the display of carbon atoms.

Select a carbon or multiple carbons and then select this option to set the display to Dots, Angles, or C's.

Hydrogens

Show or hide hydrogens.

Toggle this option to display numbers or symbols at node positions.

Ring Circles

Toggle this option to draw circles inside benzene rings instead of alternating single and double bonds.

Hide/Show Reactions

Display the roles of reactants or products.

Hide/Show Query Attributes

Display query attributes for a node or bond at the pointer position.

When Show Query Attributes is active, move the pointer to a node or bond to see the attributes.

Flip fragment horizontal (L) and Flip fragment vertical (U)

Make a left-right or up-down rotation of a fragment.

The structure is rotated along a vertical or horizontal axis, creating a mirror image.
