[chimerax-users] Mol2 file conversion

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Marcus,
Maybe you are looking at instructions for Chimera, which is a different program than ChimeraX.

The Chimera menu has "File... Save Mol2" but as you said, the ChimeraX menu just has "File... Save".

Assuming that you are actually using ChimeraX, and you have some atomic structure model(s) currently open, then you can just use "File... Save" and then in that dialog, choose Files of type: "Mol2" to save a Mol2 file.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
