[Chimera-users] ChimeraX angle measurement

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Beth,
I changed the subject line to something more specific.  It's OK to ask on this list, but you may be interested that there is a separate mailing list for ChimeraX questions: 
chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu

In ChimeraX the command is "angle" so something like this should work:

angle #1/A:601 at c7m :222 at cb #17/A:602 at c7m

ChimeraX "angle" command

I hope this helps,
Elaine
