Dear Paolo et co,

Indeed that appears to be the problem (based on private mails with Leong), with the newest version of XCrysDen on Ubuntu 1.5.53; I just misunderstood Leong's initial mail, I thought the error appeared when visualising the _output_ file - there have been these issues already earlier, I have not tried if the newer versions of XCrysDen understands the syntax like "1/3" (instead of "0.333333333333") in the coordinate section, for example. "If in doubt, use the output, as that is the ultimate result anyway"?

    Greetings and thank you Paolo for the confirmation, :)

My hypothesis: option "angstrom" to CELL_PARAMETER is relatively recent.
Older versions of xcrysden might not know about it

      Dear Leong,

        If I am not horribly wrong, indeed 15/20/35 Ångströms are
      indeed used; the values in the output of pw.x are just always in
      units of Bohr radii. Would this explain your observation?

        Another option would be to define

          ibrav = 8
              a = 15
              b = 20
              c = 25

      as the values of 'a', 'b' and 'c' are always in Ångströms. I
      tried with QE 5.1.2 and no matter which input I used, indeed the
      values are taken and used as Å. What do you mean with "all the
      value that I defined...", where do you see Bohr in XCrysDen?

        Hopefully this clarified something. :)

          Greetings from Sunny Montrouge,

            Dear all

            I am currently dealing with molecule in relax
            calculations. I choose ibrav =
            0 and define the cell parameters by myself. Is that
            impossible to define the
            cell parameter in angstrom? I try to define my cell
            parameter as below:
            CELL_PARAMETERS angstrom
              15.000   0.000   0.000
               0.000  20.000   0.000
               0.000   0.000  25.000
            However, all the value that I defined is shown in
            bohr in xcrysden. Wish to
            receive your reply soon.


            Thank you


            Regards
            Leong
