Hi Alex,

Is there an error message that gets printed? I can load your example just fine, so it may be a windows-specific issue.

Yeah, I've been changing the default AMBER coordinates to CHARMM coordinates to load them. Essentially, every .crd file that I'm trying to load is failing but here's one for your reference.

Thanks,
Alex

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,

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