Saving distances drawn in Coot 0.6.1

Hello everybody from the CCP4bb,

I would like to know if there is any way to save dotted lines distances drawn in Coot in order to recover the information then opening a new session, even if the program was closed before ?

I have already tried the "save session" option but it didn't work.

I apoIogize if the question was already asked before and I thank you a lot.

Best regards.

Romain.

Hi Romain,

I am not aware of how to do this in Coot but you can easily do this in PyMOL using the save session option (with maps etc).

Cheers

Joel

If you mean the dotted lines from environment distances, then those should be saved in the state file (and recovered after restarting).  If that doesn't happen then that's a bug (you might like to try with the latest stable release, it works for me).

If you mean the dotted lines from Calculate Distances, then that is not saved in the state file. (It can be, of course, with a bit of effort.. should it be?)
