Dear Gerlind, I'm glad that we were of help! I should point out that the "Make link (click 2 atoms)" is dangerous as it only generates a LINK record but not a full link dictionary - it should only be used for common known links that are present in the monomer library. This issue is discussed in section 4.4 of the article I posted earlier (https://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2021/06/00/ir5021/index.html). I'd ignore Coot's "Make link" tool unless you really know what you're doing. Otherwise, I'd favour the AceDRG interfaces as recommended in that article.
