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.

Re: Tool tip angle stored incorrectly in Imperial mode.
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.
