Plant 3d 2013 Isometric set - cut length precision

I've been trying to figure this out for hours, looking in the xml file and throughout all the project setup menus. Does anyone know where or how to change the precision for my cut length in the cut piece list? my project is in milimeters and it's giving me 6 decimal places.

 

Also, is there a way to show metric and english units in the BOM for pipe? Just like when you are working in 3D and you click the toggle size display mode icon, so it shows you mm and inches?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

<Style Name="ImperialSize" UnitFormat="Fractional" Precision="Precision5" Prefix="" Suffix="&quot;" Scale="1" Decimal="." />

This has been a lot of help. I would really like to find out what affects each variable would do to the precisions.

 

Such as if I wanted 1/8" precision what variable would I change it to, or 1/4" and so on.

 

Thanks
