[chimerax-users] Assistance

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Priyanka,
I can't tell which program you are asking about.  You sent this question to chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu which is for ChimeraX questions, but you mention Chimera, which has its own different address for questions, chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu

However, in this case it does not matter, the answer is the same for both programs.

The map file does not include rotation information, so you should save the PDB relative to the map. There is more explanation and discussion of this in the bottom section of this Chimera help page:
