Must be in sketch editing mode.

Right click in the graphics window and select desired dimension display mode.

Looks like this has been changed at some point. I was trying to do the same thing in v2018 and finally found the option under document settings; units; "display as expression".

I see the option as shown your first image now on the bottom of the screen, v2018 doesn't seem to have the option as shown in your second image.

The image is from Inventor 2018.

Are you in an active sketch?

Are other tools active?

Weird. Started a brand new sketch, don't see that option. Image attached.

You are right clicking on the Sketch node in the browser.

Instead, right click away from everything in the graphics window.

These right click options are context sensitive depending on where you click.
