Hi Kevin, It is unclear what your current working directory is…the file would go to wherever that is if you do not give a path. Try giving a full pathname in the command so you can be sure where the file is going. E.g. for me on a mac, could be: writesel /Users/meng/Desktop/test Alternatively, use menu: Actions… Write List and then browse to the desired output file location. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi, I am trying to use the writesel command: writesel test. However, Chimera is not saving a list anywhere and I do not get an error message. Am I missing something in the command? Best, Kevin
