What's new in 7.7.0

Executive Summary
ChemDoodle 3D v7.7 is a feature update including a new Symmetrize function, support for dative bond types, ORCA input file I/O, and more.
Additions
1. Introduced a Symmetrize function designed to analyze and correct the atomic coordinates of the entire scene to conform precisely to the symmetry of the underlying point group. It identifies the closest ideal symmetric coordinates corresponding to the detected point group, and adjusts the atomic coordinates accordingly. Please see section 15.11.6.4 of the user guide for more information.
2. Added a new dative bond type for more specific graphics and cheminformatics functions. The direction of the dative bond type is flippable.
3. You may switch the ring basis set from SSSR to Euler. This is useful when creating graphics of caged structures with colored in rings. Please see section 15.10.2 of the user guide for instructions.
4. If abbreviations are present on file input, a new question will be asked to expand and generate 3D coordinates of the all-atom model, if possible.
5. Support for input and output of ORCA input files (.inp, .orcainp).
6. Copy as CML and iChemLabs ChemDoodle 3D Scene added to the Edit>Copy As menu.
Fixes
1. Better user feedback for CAPS lock state, which enables quick transform mode.
2. Reorganized clipboard settings pane.
3. Updated application icon for macOS Tahoe.
