'Struct=Name' is a new proprietary algorithm that replaces the AutoNom one used in earlier versions of ChemDraw.

'Use Retained Replacements', 'Advanced Enclosing Marks', No 'Forward Locants Position', Hantzsch–Widman New Stems', 'Extended Fused List', No 'New Functional Groups Names', 'Stereoconfiguration: Absolute', no 'Stereo Wedge Direction', no 'Name Preferred Tautomeric Form', 'Refuse To Name: Fused Multiparent Systems, Complex Bridged Fused Systems', Complex Multiplicative Structures', 'Use Biochemical Names: Steroids, Alkaloids, Terpenes, Carbohydrates, Amino Acids, Peptides', 'Select Language: English'. For both nomenclature tools 'Capitalization First Letter of Name'' was chosen and for ACD/Name Index [31] 'Name Preferred Tautomeric Form' was enabled.

ACD/Labs has developed its naming algorithms alone and calls the CAS-like names 'Index names'.
