[chimerax-users] Define axis tool missing?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi James,
Glad you like ChimeraX! 

For "define axis" command, you just need to get a newer ChimeraX (go to the daily builds section of the download page, get the current daily build).  

As mentioned in the Change Log, this feature was added *after* the 1.3 release.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
