Chemix 2.0 gets released today! Completely rewritten and sporting a brand new UI, it allows you to drag, drop, rotate, pan, zoom and even add liquids to your lab diagrams. Also, you finally get to save your image, so no more resorting to PrintScreen (how lame was that! ). Plus, it's now developed as an online tool, so no download needed and whenever there's an update, you get it straight away.

Don't just take my word for it and check it out .

Basic instructions

Prerequisites

Chemix 2.0 requires a web browser with Flash plugin 10. Some people have complained that when running the application, it just flickers and is unusable - outdated Flash plugin is the sole reason - just grab the latest version and restart the browser.

Bugfixes, improvements and new features in each version.

Chemix 2.0 now has roughly 20 pieces filling the first two categories. All container items allow liquids visualisation with gravity-aware surface alignment (see image). Work on the engine has been mostly completed, so the current focus is to add the remaining 50 or so items to the last 8 categories.

Chemix has undergone lots of improvements and it's version numbering of 2.0 is well deserved. But instead of rambling about and describing all the new features, view the video to see for yourself:

Basic instuctions

Adding & Dragging

To add an apparatus, select an item from the top toolbar. To change the category, click on of the smaller unlabelled buttons on each side of the toolbar. Currently, there are 5 categories with 8 items per each.

Chemix 2.0 available.
Chemix 2.0 is much better than version 1.0 and we recommend you use it instead! Let me have it!

 

Chemix is a freeware editor for drawing lab diagrams. This small tool written in Flash is designed for students to help them draw diagrams of common laboratory equipment and design lab setup of science (especially chemistry and physics) experiments. It is not a professional's tool, but being easy and fast to use, it is suited for quick presentations and for use by students and pupils.
