keep bond order consistent after removing, restoring bond?

Is there a way in the API to remove MolBond from a Molecule and then restore it so that the bond indices remain unchanged from the original?  I need to remove a bond so that I can rotate one of the fragments 180 degrees with respect to the other, but when I restore the bond I want the indices to be unchanged from the original.


If there is not such a way, please add it to the request list.

Hi Bob,


Use removeBond, insertBond in the next 5.3 alpha or the corresponding deprecated functions ("Bond" --> "Edge") in the 5.2 branch.
