AFAIK, Cn3D is not able to open .pdb files. It uses a specific format.
>From the Cn3D FAQ
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/CN3D/cn3dfaq.shtml#NOPDB):
Cn3D reads only data files from the MMDB database, not PDB formatted records.
MMDB is derived from the PDB database, but is corrected for naming-problems,
performs domain-splitting, assigns consistent secondary structures, adds
complete bonding information, and finally makes protein sequences corresponding
exactly to the residues that appear in the structure. This work is done by a
series of programs not possible to include in Cn3D.
So...
