How to set the precision of output on the MEASUREGEOM command

In most of my files, when using the MEASUREGEOM command to verify dimensions and lengths of objects on-screen it seems to round to the nearest millimetre (no decimal point or non-integral values e.g. 3, 101, 4000). In one of my drawings I am getting decimal points in the values produced on screen, so digits after the decimal point (e.g. 5.25 mm).

I've checked the documentation here for the command and I can't see mention of any way to adjust this and there only seems to be one system variable assigned to this command, which controls the default mode as Quick or not.

Any ideas how I can adjust the precision of numbers shown onscreen with MEASUREGEOM command (I use it all the time!).

The Dim Style I'm currently using doesn't seem to have any influence if that's a potential association people are going to suggest.
