Hi All

I am interested to measure the symmetry axis of individual sub-unit (chain A & 
chain B)
along with the symmetry axis of the heterdimer (AB). Each chain is also 2 fold 
axis, and I
can measure by removing 1 chain and measure for the other and then combine all 
the symmetry
axis in the 1 PDB file. Is there is a way to do it with out removing the either 
chain.

I'm not sure that I fully understood the question, but you could try Coot's
superpose_with_atom_selection, where you can specify the residue selection for 
the superposition

e.g.

Calculate -> Scripting -> Python

superpose_with_atom_selection(0, 0, '//A/1-200', '//A/201-400', 1)

will produce output like this:
