Adding to my previous answer, keep in mind that PyMOL, by default, uses 
the camera to interpret the vector. Therefore, if you change your window 
view, this vector will change. You can specify the "camera" variable (by 
using, for example "translate [100,0,0], obj2, camera=0") so that the 
vector is relative to the model's axes instead.

Hello Sajeewa,
The translate command uses angström as a unit. Therefore, if you want to 
translate obj2 by 10 nm, you should use "translate [100,0,0]" instead of 
"translate [10,0,0]".
Best regards,
Rui

Hello everyone,
I have a linear molecule (obj1) which I have duplicated (obj2). I want to
move obj2 (which is currently 100% overlapped with obj1) with respect to
obj1 along the x axis by 10 nm. Can I achieve this by
translate [10,0,0] , obj2
I don't know what the distance units are in the vector used in translate
command.
Is there a much better way of achieving what I have described?
Best regards,
Sajeewa
