Is there a way to save a full pdb file in PYMOL after uploading biological unit?

pdb code: 2obt

The pdb file has a coordinates of a monomer.

I have used following commands to generate an assembly, or in other words to upload one more biological unit so that the protein would be a dimer:

set assembly, ""
fetch 2obt, asu, async=0

set assembly, "1"
fetch 2obt, assembly1, async=0

After generating the functional dimer in pymol under name assembly1, I have an important issue that I cannot save a dimer structure in pdb file with dimer coordinates. Does anybody has an idea how to go around it or is it even possible to do that?

Try with save molecule as: new_name.pdb

or

copy and paste the coordinates in text editor like notepad++ and save as name.pdb
