Thankyou for that excellent writeup of how to repeat the issue. We're looking to fix this at the moment.

There is a new version released, V1.35, which keeps the angle value of tools regardless of the measurement type. We'll look at the import conversion issue next.

Sorry, but I missed the last post.

I've now loaded Version 1.35 and can confirm that the tip angle is now stored correctly.

Many thanks, Max.
