Dear all, 
  I have a problem in fine tuning the cif file for my new ligand. I
try to force a specific torsion angle, but coot doesn't "obey". The
ligand has more than 50 atoms , so I tried with simple ethane diol,
EDO. 

I copied the EDO.cif from the library and changed the C1-C2 torsion
angle definition to 
EDO             sp3_sp3_4         
O1          C1          C2         
O2     180.000    10.0     1

After loading EDO in coot via "import cif dictionary" with "generate a
molecule", regularize zone should now push the dihedral to 180°,
because the periodicity was changed to 1. Instead, it refines to
58.86°. After manually setting it to 110° by "edit chi angles" it
still refines to 58°. After setting it to 130° it refines to 179°.
It thus behaves like periodicity 3, not periodicity 1. The modified
cif file was correctly read, in "edit chi angles" it clearly states
sp3_sp3_4 C1  C2 ref 180.00 per: 1. 
What am I missing?
Greetings
