Dear Leila,
The error message is for when you are saving multiple files.  I assume you want to save a single file with your receptor and ligand, so you need to change to “Save multiple models in” to “a single file”:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#pdb>

You could also use the alias from my previous reply
<http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2015-June/011153.html>

…for example, if you had already entered that “alias” command, which creates the new command “savecplx”, you could then enter

savecplx 3

If you were using the PDB save dialog to save multiple models to multiple files, you would actually have to include “$name” or “$number” in the specified name, not some other things.  For example, NOT $target.pdb but $name.pdb.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
