How to draw a bond:

images/download/attachments/45330143/image2015-2-10_11_37_13.png

Selecting a bond type and clicking or dragging on the canvas will create a new bond with the default length and with carbon atoms on both ends.
You can also draw a new bond by dragging from an already existing atom or clicking on it with an active bond tool.
