Thanks a lot Elaine. No need for apologies at all. I am glad that the shortcomings of chimera have been addressed in chimeraX. On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 9:48 PM Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
Another user's question just reminded me that in ChimeraX (but not Chimera) you can show axis crosshairs at the current center of rotation with command:
cofr showPivot true - or - cofr showPivot 5,.25
(where the second one specifies a bigger size for the crosshairs). See "cofr" help: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cofr.html>
Apologies if it's too off-topic to respond with a feature that's only in ChimeraX, not Chimera. Best, Elaine

Hi Prathvi, Not exactly, but you can open a file that contains the axes as a model -- please see this previous post:
<https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2018-July/014859.html>
(That file can also be opened in ChimeraX, for anybody interested in trying our newer program.)
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi Elaine, I was wondering whether it is possible to show the axis guides at the bottom left or bottom right side of the screen just like in VMD?
