We analyzed the cause of the bug (https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/51866/), and found out the following.
When we extract *.json file from the Houdini 16.0.504 build, the coordinates of the guides are saved in the format with high precision, for example:
“fingersroot”: {
“translate”: [
“5.73010652716e-05”,
“-0.0146017434347”,
“0.0610589732365”
],
“rotate”: [
“0.0”,
“0.0”,
“0.0”
]
},
Houdini 16.5 saves these data in the abridged version with only 6 decimal places, for example:
“fingersroot”: {
“translate”: [
“5.730106”,
“-0.014601”,
“0.061058”
],
“rotate”: [
“0.0”,
“0.0”,
“0.0”
]
},
Because of this, the data are distorted, and after reloading, the coordinates of the guides are put wrongly.
Maybe, this infotmation will help you fix the bug earlier.

Could you tell me, please, how the things are going with the bug fixes concerning our problem? There's no information about it in the daily build topic. Thanks in advance.
