Flexible data input/output

CrystalMaker-3 is one of the most flexible crystallographic input programs! It has built-in support for the major database file formats, including the following text file formats:-

• Cambridge Crystallographic Database FDAT
• Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB) files
• Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory CCL
• Crystallographic Interchange Format (CIF)
• Daresbury Laboratory CSSR
• Inorganic Crystal Structures Database (ICSD)
• SHELX
• STRUPLO
• MacMolecule 1.x
• Chem3D cartesian
• CrystalMaker extended text format

It is easy to create your own text data files for display in CrystalMaker - or edit standard database file output. You can save your data in fast, compact, CrystalMaker binary files.

You can also export various kinds of structural data as text files:-

• coordinates files (listing of fractional and/or orthogonal coordinates for all atoms displayed)
• bond summary files (detailed listing of bond distances and angle information, for all atoms in the asymmetric unit of a crystal)
• CrystalMaker extended data format
• MacMolecule 1.x format
• Chem3D cartesian format
• PDB format
• CIF format

You can also import/export tables of element colours & radii. This makes it easy to switch between working with (say) organic crystals, and inorganic, mineral structures.
