no. both file formats, .xyz and. pdb, contain coordinate information.
please have a close look at the VMD console
and check if there are any error messages.
VMD will do a best effort to parse files according
to the available "standards" and some commonly
used variants, but if the format strays too far, the
corresponding plugin may reject reading the files.
if there is no message visible, please provide small
example files demonstrating the issue.
cheers,
axel.
