Hi,

Try making the other molecule (the one that didn't move) the top molecule,
then reset the view. (In the Molecule menu, highlight the molecule you
want to make top and press the Make Top button, then go to the Mouse menu
and hit the Reset View button). Alternatively, you change the center of
rotation by putting the mouse in Center mode (either with the Mouse menu
or by pressing 'c'), then click on an atom.

Cheers,

Justin
