Deleting bonds in avogadro

Development

Hi,

Is there a way to delete a bond without also deleting atoms?

For instance, after I draw cyclohexane I decide I don’t want a ring after all. Can I break a bond to form hexane?
If I delete one of the carbon atoms, the ring will be broken, but I won’t have 6 carbons anymore.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

You can right click on the bond and it should delete it. I think that is in
the tooltip for the draw tool, if not I should add it in.
