Hello, I have a seemingly trivial problem. I have a small molecule and I want to display the serial number of all atoms. Under “Action->Labels->Atoms->Name” I can get atom names, but these are not what I want. I want the atoms numbered as they appear in the .xyz file. Is this possible? Kind regards, Michael

I found the solution. Next time I should display more tenacity I guess. label #1 atoms text {0.element}{0.serial_number} Does exactly what I want. __________________ Dr. Michael Patzschke Institute of Resource Ecology Chemistry of the f-elements Theoretical Chemistry Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf e.
