Hi Alex,

At least on a Linux system with 1.9.4a48, I can open CHARMM-GUI crd files I had previously generated. VMD *did* try to be clever and load them as AMBER coordinates by default, since they also use crd as a file extension, but if you change it to CHARMM coordinates they loaded fine. Do you have an example crd file that is causing you issues?

I used to import the .crd molecules by "New molecule->select the .crd file->change the determine file type to CHARMM coordinates" and I could load the molecule.

Best,
Alex

Hi,
  What OS/platform are you running on, and which ".crd" file format
are you referring to (there are several)?
