AutoCAD LT's Dimension Style setting for the Tolerance format, Method: Deviation, Tolerance alignment: Align decimal separators

I've done some research and found that AutoCAD LT controls the MTEXT stacked text formatting of a dimension's tolerance set to Deviation as up carrot (^) to be "Align operational symbols" and then tilde+period (~.) to be "Align decimal separators". I want to control this setting via AutoLISP (preferred) or another API interface, so that each time I open a drawing, the "Align decimal separators" (~.) setting is active. I have found no DIM variable setting for this in AutoCAD LT. And Autodesk support has confirmed that no setting exists. They only recommend using the Dimension Styles Manager. But this doesn't allow me to automate.

Setting the tolerance format correctly in AutoCAD LT dimension styles can make technical drawings much clearer and more consistent. It would be helpful to compare the available tolerance options and explain which settings control the displayed upper and lower limits, precision, and alignment.
