When I double-click a *.cdx file, it starts Symyx Draw application. How do I change the setting to open it with ChemDraw (Or the other way around)?
To switch *.cdx file association to ChemDraw, follow the steps below. Default installation of Symyx Draw will set the *.cdx file to open with Symyx Draw.
- Re-run the Symyx Draw installer, or go to Control Panel > Add or remove Programs and select Symyx Draw 3.2 EE - click "Change".
- Click "Next" at the initial screen, and select "Modify" option at the Program Maintenance.
- Select "Developer user" if you want to have developer tools included. Click "Next".
- At File Associations: "Do you want to associate CDX files and ChemDraw objects in MS Office application with Symyx Draw?" Default is Yes. You MUST select No, to associate CDX files to ChemDraw.
- Then proceed the installation. It will change the CDX file association to ChemDraw.
NOTE: If you want the other way, you can follow the same steps and select Yes to open *.cdx files with Symyx Draw.
