Changing the Default Format setting

We are running Inventor 2014.  Each time I start a new drawing my dimensions come in as two place decimals.  I would like to change my default Format settings to Fraction (ANSI) as a standard. I do not know where this is located or how to change it so I do not have to do this for each dimension that is placed.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

Easy. Open the .idw template in it's location (find your template and open that specific file). Then go to the "Manage" Tab in your ribbon and select "Styles Editor". Select your standard in the "Standard" Category. Select the "Available Styles" tab and select "Dimension". Once you have that up, check the box you would like to use as your default. Save and close.

Thanks for the tip, I made changes to the Object Defaults to change the object style from Default (ANSI) to say Architectural (ANSI). Problem is the isn't shown on the Annotate Tab > Format ribbon (see image below). How do I make this say Architectural and stay that way? Right now, always goes back to Standard.
