Conformer calculation output: can it be mol2 format?

Hi,


I am using the conformer generator on the command line, using the following argument:


cxcalc conformers -m 20 -d 0.5 -l 18000 input_molecule.mol2 > output_conformers.mol2


My input file contains a single molecule in mol2 format.


The calculation runs fine (i.e. I get conformers), but the resulting output file is actually in SD format, rather than the mol2 format I wanted.


Is there a specific option I need to add to ask Marvin to output in mol2 format? Or is it simply not possible? I wish to avoid going to SD format and converting back to mol2 format as some bond types are changed when I do that conversion.


Many thanks,


Juliette

Use the -f (or --format) command line option the specify the output format.


Example:


 cxcalc conformers -m 20 -d 0.5 -l 18000 -f mol2 input_molecule.mol2 > output_conformers.mol2
