Hi Elza, This is not a bug, just a question (so it should go to the chimera-users email address only, not chimera-bugs). Literally, you must enter a name that includes either “$name” or “$number” into the output-filename area. Then that part will be replaced by the model name or model number of the individual docking, to create multiple different output filenames. You can’t just enter a name without one of those because multiple names are required for multiple output files, not a single name. You can see the model names and model numbers of the docking results in the “Save models” area of the PDB-saving dialog (Chimera menu: File… Save PDB). For example, if you enter File name in the PDB-saving dialog as: docking$number.pdb It will write model #1.1 to a file named docking1.1.pdb, model #1.2 to a file named docking1.2.pdb, etc. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear all,
I am Elza Fonseca, a PhD student of the University of Porto and I am now learning to do dockings.
I am using Chimera for open the results from SwissDock and I would like to save it like a multiple file. However I always get the same error message: "You must provide a file name that contains either $name or $number, which will be changed to the model name or model number (respectively) in the final saved file name". I don't understand what "$name or $number" means... May you please help me solving it? I apologize for my ignorance.
