Hello,

  this is my first post on this mail list, as I just get acquainted with
the capabilities of open source pymol (version 1.6.x as mentioned in the
splash screen, installed directly from the repositories of Linux Xubuntu
14.04 LTS, yet synaptic package manager states version 1.7.0.0-1).
Among the export functions, a particular interest of mine is the as a
idtf file as "precursor" for a 3d pdf mentioned at

http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/3d_pdf

where I experience difficulties I want to address here.

   While the export via the CLI works fine for creating a *.png picture
or a VRML *.wrl-geometry, the similar export as *.idtf creates only a
header to describe the scenery, but not the (expected) spheres and tubes
to represent atoms and molecular bonds.  The file generated is the same,
regardless if I request the data export via

save /home/user directory/target directory/test.idtf

or the recommended

save /home/user directory/target directory/test.idtf,*

Marking/highlighting the molecule in question does not alter the situation.

   The relative orientation of the model in regard to the observer is
provided, however, in the programs command line, like

3Daac=20.0, 3Droll=0, 3Dc2c=0 0 1, 3Droo=50.00, 3Dcoo=0 0 -50.00

  In addition, there is no *.tex file written -- well in contrast to the
pymol-wiki page -- that I would expect to be created in the very same
directory, too.  (This is contrast to jmol offering export as *.idtf
while simultaneously writing a *.tex file, too.)  Should I look up in a
different directory instead?  May be a mistake during the installation
be a reason why I do not obtain (yet) a functional *.idtf?  Do I need to
load another / an additional plugin to enlarge the export functions?

   With regards,

Norwid
