Aidan,
This is a feature. You cannot connect two atoms in different frames.
Each frame is a separate model, and bonds are part of models, so it gets way too
messy to consider bonds between models.
Solution #1:
You can set up measurements between frames, and if you turn off the
numbers, then it looks a lot like what you are asking for.
Solution #2:
In addition, you can (in 10.x) draw lines that look a lot like bonds between any
two atoms, regardless of their frame. But I don't think that's the best
solution.
Solution #3:
Put them all in one file, turn autobonding off, load the file, use connect,
perhaps:
connect 1.0 1.5 (atomno<=30) (atomno<=30)
connect 1.0 1.5 (atomno>30) (atomno>30)
(that will take some experimentation)
and whatever additional connections you want between the sets.

Hi,
Sorry if this is FAQ but I don't seem to be able to connect two atoms
that are in different frames (Jmol v10.2.0). Is this a feature or a bug?
I use frames because I have disordered structures and I like the fact
that jmol doesn't attempt to automatically place bonds between atoms in
different frames. I can easily overlay my disordered structures in this
way.
However, once I have the in Jmol, I will want to do a 'frame all'
command and then selectively show non-bonded contacts that I have
predetermined (using an hbond or normal bond depending on the
circumstances).
Thanks for any help and thanks for the program!
By the way, I noticed on the mail archive that someone was making noises
about writing a mol2 parser? Has this been done? I would love to have
this feature, and might be able to knock something up myself, but I am
not sure I would do it justice, as I don't use most of the features of
the mol2 format, I just find it a convenient format for my purposes.
Cheers
Aidan
