Hi, My first question was about identical inputs giving different 2D coordinate sets, depending on... on what? On a call to a random number generator?
In a bridged polycyclic system, there is more than one way to "remove" rings in order to get a simpler ring system that would make a good starting point for the drawing of the complete system. May be it could be possible to enumerate these possibilities without considering all atom number permutations. This was my second question.
