Ah, yes. The "center atomno=1" undoes "translate x 50" but does not undo "zoom 500". The scaling I'm referring to is independent of the zoom. Thus,

load 1l38.pdb
zoom 500

is a different scale from

load 1l38.pdb
center atomno=1
zoom 500

I think you will see that if you then "zoom 100" after your commands, the model has been scaled down by about a factor of two to fit the screen. This occurred in response to the "center atomno=1" command. If you had instead "set picking center" and then clicked on atom 1, then there would be no scaling change.

I should have said "scaled to fit the screen at a zoom of 100."

See notes below.

Using 1L38.pdb, 10.00.60,

zoom 500
translate x 50
center atomno=1

The atom jumps to the center, but the molecule does not rescale, that is, it does not zoom out dso the whole structure can be seen in the Jmol window. I am not "complaining" - this is *not* a problem from my perspective, just noting the behavior.

In effect, it did rescale, but with the jump to distract you, you didn't notice that it also shrunk by about 50%. I'm glad you aren't complaining, because this IS the intended behavior! To reset the scaling to the original, one can invoke either:

  center *

or

  reset

Yes, same for App and Applet. You might want to check your version.

Jmol.jar 1a3n.pdb

$ center (atomno=1)

definitely rescales to fit the screen. What is your exact test,  Frieda?

Is this supposed to be the case for the application as well as the applet? I am currently testing in the application (10.00.60) and find this *not* to be true - Jmol is not rescaling the molecule to fit the window when the "center" command is used. So, before I go further... should I be testing the applet as opposed to the application?
