CrystalMaker® 7.2.4 for Mac OS X

Licensed CrystalMaker-7 users may download a free update from this page. This is a compliance-checking update: you are required to have a previous version of CrystalMaker 7 successfully-installed and licensed on your Mac.

If you are not a licensed user, you are welcome to download a free demonstration version of CrystalMaker, which includes crystal and molecule example files, and can also be used as a free viewer for CIF, PDB, ICSD and many other file formats.

CrystalMaker 7.2 is distributed as a Universal Binary application, which runs natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs.

Major new features include non-destructive bond editing, more flexible polyhedral model options and user-friendly CrystalMaker Text file export. Other changes include more intuitive Atom Info Window editing, revised Window Tile and Stack commands plus miscellaneous bug fixes.

The latest version, 7.2.4, features revised code for exporting PNG, TIFF and Photoshop graphics: working around a system issue with Mac OS X 10.3 "Tiger" or earlier. Other changes include toughened file import code to make it easier to work with rogue "PDB" or ICSD data files. Miscellaneous issues related to saving grid and ruler settings have also been resolved.

Please see the CrystalMaker for Mac version history for more details.
Update Notes and Instructions
  1. Before you attempt to install this update, you must have first successfully installed (and licensed) your copy of CrystalMaker from the original CD-ROM. You cannot run this update on a "clean" system.

  2. The update package is compressed as a Zip archive. Once expanded (Safari does this automatically) you will have a standard Mac OS X Disk Image, with the file extension ".dmg".

  3. Mount the disc image by double-clicking it and then letting Disk Copy do its work. (Please note: Safari does this automatically for you.)

  4. A new volume should appear on your desktop, with a white, removable-disc icon, entitled "CrystalMaker 7.x Update".

  5. To install the CrystalMaker update, simply drag the contents of this disc into the Applications folder - an alias is provided to make this easier. You may want to backup your old CrystalMaker program first.

  6. You can now drag the removable disc icon to the trash. (You may wish to retain the ".dmg" disc image file for backup purposes.)
