I was going to say that we could adopt the convention that the default setting of a centrosymmetric space group is the one with the origin on an inversion centre, since this is assumed by all programs that I am aware of, thus making ':2' for 'second setting' unnecessary and keeping the name to 11

It seems that it's the new addition of ':n' which has pushed it over the limit of the 11 char field. Has this been thought through? I can see that the ':n' qualifier is necessary to disambiguate alternate origins. Without the redundant formatting spaces 9 chars would be sufficient even for 'P 4

Yes, I can reproduce this, and I think I have found the bug. It is simply that PDBSET dimensions the spacegroup name to 10 characters. Increasing that to 20 allows you to use either spac 'F d -3 m :1' or spac 227 However, it still won't recognise 'F d -3 m' because this is not in the syminfo file

[ccp4bb] Fd-3m with pdbset

2010-09-06 Thread Tim Gruene
Hello, I tried to assign a cell with space group F d -3 m to a PDB file using pdbset. Since it did not recognize the string 'F d -3 m' (nor 'F d -3 m :1') , I used the space group number 227. This resulted in the space group string 'F d -3 m :' in the PDB-file instead of 'F d -3 m :1' as it is list
