Bond Atoms function distance not adjustable

[ghutchis]

@ghutchis

I’m heading to class, so I’d need to check what the “Bond Selected Atoms” command is supposed to do.

It’s doing what it was supposed to do - create bonds between all selected atoms.

Is that useful? Guess I’ll need to look back through the change log and figure out when / why it was added:

Create Bond with distant atoms (too far to drag and drop)

I am trying to create a new bond to circularize a linear polymer. The only way I know to create a new bond is by dragging one atom and dropping it onto another, however these atoms are so far apart there is no way to have them visible on screen without adjusting the view, which I cant do while dragging the atom for bond creation. Is there a way to create a bond without the drag and drop method, or to adjust the view while dragging an atom? Thanks

Ah, the problem was creating an intentional bond between two separated atoms (e.g., to help with a ring polymer)

I can certainly understand why you find it confusing. We probably need some better wording.
