Structure Upload Message |

file” message along with attribute information.

When structure is uploaded in a non-structure search based
file (such as HOME), the user will see “THIS COMMAND NOT AVAILABLE
IN THE CURRENT FILE” message.

There are two other updates to the Structure Editor in this release:
Thiol shortcuts:
When the user creates a structure with a
thiol shortcut, the shortcut is locked by default to prevent unexpected
results such as R-SO2NH functional groups rather than the R-SH.
The lock can be overridden (unlocked) with
the Lock
Atoms tool.
Phenylene shortcuts:
Phenylene shortcuts are not locked in STNext;
the Lock Atoms tool will have no effect on the shortcut.
If the imported structure it contains a locked
phenylene shortcut, the lock attribute is ignored.
Query Summary File
This release includes changes to STNext that will automatically issue
a SET LHIST ON at the start of
a session if the user has the Query
Summary File Download setting ON but their Logoff
History (LHIST) is OFF.
This new change will prevent users that previously set their Query Summary
File Download setting ON, but did not change their Logoff History (LHIST)
setting to ON.
Performance Improvements
This release includes performance improvements to structure upload.
With the changes, the total elapsed time to generate an L-number after
initiating a upload is reduced by at least 20%.
A user with a slower network connection would see more improvements
compared to a user with a faster network connection.
