[Chimera-users] How to recreate point of view

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Stefan,
You could try opening one session (the one whose viewpoint you want to use for both), and using "matrixget" to save the transformation matrix to file.  E.g. on my mac I could use:

matrixget ~/Desktop/mymatrixfile

Then close session, open the other session, and use "matrixset" to apply the previously saved transformation:

matrixset ~/Desktop/mymatrixfile

See description of these commands:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
