Measuring Distances and Coming Up As Zero [AutoCAD for MAC]

Hey all. I'm using the DIST command to measure simple distances and when the distance gets small enough, it registers as zero. So I don't actually know how long that line is, for example. Is there some setting to switch so distance measures fractions or??? Thanks in advance.

I think you need to change units precision in the drawing:

- use menu Format -> Units... (UNITS command) to open Drawing Units window

- set the required precision here:
