[chimerax-users] saving PDB

[Noriega, Heather]

Hello Elaine,

I am sorry it came out like Ulysses. They do save, I was just trying to
explain I have tried multiple saving options. The saved PDB do not open in
ChimeraX. I have attached one of the saved PDB that will not open in
ChimeraX. I would like it to open in ChimeraX.

Thank you,
