| First written/read in: | ChemDraw 8.0 |
| Required? | No |
Description:
Type of external connection, for atoms of type kCDXNodeType_ExternalConnectionPoint.
This is an enumerated property. Acceptible values are shown in the following list:
| Value | CDXML Name | Description |
| 0 | Unspecified | Nothing is specified about the node's isotopic abundance |
| 1 | Diamond | The attachment point is indicated by a black diamond at the end of a bond |
| 2 | Star | The attachment point is indicated by an asterisk at the end of a bond |
| 3 | PolymerBead | The attachment point is indicated by large shaded sphere at the end of a bond |
| 4 | Wavy | The attachment point is indicated by a wavy line perpendicular to the end of a bond |
If this property is absent:
The node is treated as having Unspecified external connection type, which is then treated as a black diamond by ChemDraw.
