[Chimera-users] vector of axis

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Paul,

If you used Axes/Planes/Centroids (or command "define"), you can write the info to a file using the Save button on the table of axes/planes/centroids objects.

If you used the "measure inertia" command, it reports the values in the Reply Log (show with menu: Favorites... Reply Log).

I hope this helps,
Elaine
