This sounds like a molden issue, more than an Amber one. AddtoBox should
create a pdb file with the desired cell size (see the CRYST1 record in
its output file). It's not clear (to me) why molden thinks it is bigger,
or exactly what you are editing in molden to change it back to a smaller
value. You generally will need to minimize the energy of the system
created by AddtoBox before submitting it to another program like CPMD.
Maybe others on the list are more familiar with this workflow. It could be
that packmol is a better option for you.
