How do I get decimal inches in dimension line?

[JohnInMass]

Hello,

 

See attached picture.

 

Within the "Number Style" dialog for the dimension line shown I have selected "Decimal Inches".  However, no matter what I select what I see is what is on the attached (i.e. Feet, Fractional Inches).  I'm sure this used to work for me, but it's been a while since I've used the product, and something so basic is driving me nutty.

 

Thanks,

John

Here is a You Tube video of me setting up Pro 2016 for decimal dimensions:

Sorry, I embedded the version and software number into the attached picture.  But here it is again:

Thank you.  That worked.  It looks like the "Pro" version "number style" dialog for a given dimension line does nothing to change "the style of a number" as it appears in a plan.  I guess that makes sense (ha!)

yes the Number Style Dialog only changes what you see in the Dialog Boxes (DBX) , you change Dimensions  in your Plan Defaults, under Dimensions>Dimensions>format which is what I assume David shows in his video.
