I am not familiar with ChemDraw but you can draw chemical
figures with XFig. [X]Fig lets you draw things, copy, cut,
paste, scale... Transfig translates the fig code to other
formats (epic, latex, postscript...).

I generally use the chemtex macros and latex as TeX has been
ported to most common computers (latex/tex that is) and gives
great results.
