Based on the info you provided, I believe the latest release for your card was 4/24/14 -- only 4 days ago! Go to the AMD drivers site here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://support.amd.com/en-us/download">Download Drivers</a></div><div><br></div><div>and input the values for your system to get to the latest drivers.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>If that doesn't help, my best guess as to the issue is that the card/driver can't show dashed lines beyond a certain thickness and that the supersampling done while saving the image requires lines thicker than the card supports (each "tile" of the supersampled image is essentially a zoomed-in depiction of that part of the image and is later sampled down to its final size -- which reduces aliasing artifacts). Therefore the two things to try are to reduce the amount of supersampling as you save the image, or reduce the thickness of the dashed lines before you save the image.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>There is a "Supersample" control on the Save-Image dialog, and there is a "supersample" keyword to the "copy" command, if that's what you're using.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>You can reduce the line width of the hydrogen bonds by bringing up the PseudoBond Panel (in the General Controls tool category) and double clicking on the "hydrogen bonds" group (assuming you've made some hydrogen bonds). The "line width" control is in the lower part of the inspector that comes up.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I hope one of these things work! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>--Eric</div><div><div><br> Eric Pettersen<br> UCSF Computer Graphics Lab<br> <a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu</a><br><br></div></div><div><div><div>On Apr 27, 2014, at 3:24 PM, Joshua Broyde <<a href="mailto:jb3401@c2b2.columbia.edu">jb3401@c2b2.columbia.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi,<br><blockquote type="cite">I had a chimera-related problem. When saving images from chimera, chimera is not saving the dashed hbonds (I am NOT using POV-Ray), in the images, even though they appear on the screen.
