Those two files (asp.mol2 and val.mol2) are not stored in the same way -- try RESET on both consoles and you will see that the flip is related to that. If you want to synchronize those, using the Jmol application open them both into separate frames, and then
frame * select 1.1 and use "rotateselected" to align one just the way you want it. Then use write coord MOL "filename.mol2" to create a new MOL file with the coordinates. Oh, that may not save the charges - you may have to go in and do that by hand. In any case, you need to create a new mol file with the proper, aligned rotations. Oh -- ok, wait, THAT's the real difference with syncMouse. If you just use sync * on; sync * "set syncMouse true" I think it will track the way you intend. When TRUE, rotations with the mouse are delivered, so the "slave" can be manipulated separately. When FALSE, then you can manipulate the slave, but the instance you drag the "driver" you deliver the exact MOVETO to the slave, not the mouse action. That's what that is. Note that you cannot just use: set syncMouse true You have to use sync * "set syncMouse true" so that ALL the applets get that message. Bob -- Robert M.
