Hi
Yes, I do have gromacs xtc files. I don't know how to use the .tpr files in
conjunction with .xtc files which don't have the whole system in them (all 
atoms)
ie. if I have an xtc file without the solvent or an xtc file which is filtered
along on eigenvector when doing pca -has only calpha atoms. trjconv always says
number of atoms don't match even when I pick the appropriate option from the
index list.



OK, now I understand - you ran a simulation with more atoms, solvent, etc. and now you are trying to visualize the output in terms of only CA atoms. A .tpr file (or even a subset .tpr file created by tpbconv) will not contain the information you're looking for and thus the manual solution (writing CONECT records in the .pdb file yourself in a text editor) seems to be the only way forward in this case.

The advice that the -conect option can be useful for CG systems is true, but only in the case that you want to write CONECT records for all CG atoms (which would be present in a topology, and thus .tpr file created from said topology). In your case, you are parsing out atoms from some other representation, which is not the same thing.
