Not sure exactly what you are asking with the phrase 'current centerAt boundbox' Here is some stuff in random order that might help: For a given molecule, the boundbox is always the same. The axes are drawn from the center of the boundbox to the centers of the faces of the boundbox. Since the boundbox is always the same the axes are always the same. set boundbox on; set axes on; With recent versions of Jmol, the default center is the center of the boundbox. You can show the center coordinates with: show center; You can then change the center in a number of ways center <some-set-of-atoms>; show center; Or, you can use the centerAt command: centerAt average; show center; centerAt boundBox; show center; centerAt absolute 0 0 0; show center; It is somewhat complicated, but 'average' and 'boundbox' can also take relative offsets. In the sample below, the second command will have the center be 10 anstroms along the X axes to the right of the default boundbox. centerAt boundBox; show center; centerAt boundBox 10 0 0; show center; Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
