Dear Jan, I believe "savepos" and "reset" are the Chimera equivalents, e.g. savepos name1 [...move stuff around...] savepos name2 reset name1 reset name2 80 What savepos saves sounds like the same stuff as in the pymol setview description, not sure why you rejected it as the equivalent: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/savepos.html> Chimera also allows saving/restoring scenes, which besides the position information also include display styles, colors, etc. See the "scene" command: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scene.html> Because scenes contain more information than positions, they can make Chimera session files rather large. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Is there an equivalent of pymol get_view and set_view in Chimera?
I am aware of savepos command, but I am looking for a feature like Pymol get_view command (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Get_View), which allows to copy the current view to a script as text and restore it using set_view (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Set_View).
Thanks in advance, Jan
