Alternatives to ChemDraw 3D? Yes, ChemDoodle!

I installed XDrawChem on Mac OSX 10.4.11 but it crashes all the time 
which is somewhat annoying.

Then I finally stumbled upon ChemDoodle *which is not for free* but the 
trial version solved my problem at that time.
Having worked with it, I really liked it so much that I finally 
purchased it for 60 US$.

You only pay this amount once, software updates are for free.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I would like to create a pdb file for a chemical compound (FW ~600) that was 
created in our chemistry department. ChemDraw 3D appears capable of doing this, 
but I would like to know if there are free alternatives that work great on 
Macs. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
