Dear all,

thanks for your comments and sorry for the late reply. I am using the digest 
mode and hence I only get a summary.

What worked well in my case is this:

set bondTolerance =1.005

That draws the C-P bond quite nicely and does not mess up the benzene rings I 
have.
So thanks for that.

Robert: Although that does work, it is messing up the benzene ring so I get 
nice bonds drawn where there clearly is no bond inside the ring.

In any case, many thanks for this it was really helpful!

All the best from a mild London

Jörg
