Did you know... Connect mode = Overview = Sets how bonds are made when loading a file. Values: 0 = distance-based (excluding HETATM to HETATM) and CONECT records 1 = CONECT records 2 = distance-based, ignores CONECT records 3 = distance-based (including HETATM to HETATM) and CONECT records 4 = for loading mmCIF: use the chemical components dictionary to look up bonds (in PyMOL 1.7.4, components.cif needs to be present in the current directory, later versions have a subset of the dictionary bundled with PyMOL, and look up unknown residues from a web service) Syntax # ignore CONECT records set connect_mode, 2 See Also Load, Connect_cutoff, Connect_bonded
