Hello.

I noticed you are running a 32-bit windows.
Since FCGear needs numpy to run and there is a known problem
with numpy on 32-bit System i would suggest that you replace your
local numpy version as described here and try again.

Since the problem is recurring, I added a note to How to install additional workbenches
Other places where add this?

Maybe the release notes ?
Maybe the FreeCAD files page ?

BTW, did you read this post ?
This affects Linux 0.16.6703 ...

I tried to import the angle from a spreadsheet. The import is correct.
Do you know how to replicate the problem quickly, without following the tutorial.

Verified with FreeCAD 0.16.6703 on Linux Mint 17

> Start FreeCAD
> switch to Sketcher Workbench
> create sketch on X/Y-plane
> draw first line from Origin to somewhere upper right corner
> constrain line with angle in respect to X-axis, lets say at 40°
> assign name to constraint, lets call it "angle"
> draw second line from origin to upper right corner
> use angle constraint from line to X-axis on the second line
> click on blue symbol to assign expression
> type "Sketch.Constraints.angle" and a small number will be displayed as result (that is 40 degrees in radians > wrong result ...)

For the 0.16.6706 x86 installer I swapped out the numpy so the user shouldn't have to. As I don't have problems on my system with either numpy I can't test. The problem exists for older versions and I haven't yet updated the Libpack.

Many thanks re installation help.
I installed seamlessly on a 64 bit computer at work, and today updated numby and successfully installed on my 32 bit home computer.
