Thanks a lot Elaine. No need for apologies at all. I am glad that the shortcomings of chimera have been addressed in chimeraX.

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
