Select the File → Run command
Click 'Yes' in the pop-up to save the current input
In the file select box, choose a name for your file (for example 'ethene') and click 'Save'

Wait until the optimization is ready (should take very little time)

The following dialog should appear:

Click 'Yes' to update the coordinates
