It might be keeping the legacy mode (Rasmol-compatible) or specifying 
units for e.g. bond thickness. Integer values are read as * 1/250 
Angstrom.
e.g. "wireframe 2" and "wireframe 2.0" are not the same.

It's always being that way and you must include a decimal point to 
force angstroms. I'm not sure if this applies to drawings, but the 
custom is always use decimal values when you mean angstroms, to be 
sure.
