Diameter dimensioning in the Certification training tutorial… how did they automate the "Ø" in the challenge exercise?

I'm referring to the Autodesk tutorial on this webpage (link). I've attached the two .dwg files, starting file and finished file, my version and the PDF instructions.

I understand how to get the "Ø" symbol come up when I select a circle it happens automatically. Or I can use the Diameter option in the DIMS command. But in this instance the drawing is indicating diameters of bore holes on a section drawing, so they shown as rectangular shapes, no circle to prompt Autocad into using the Diameter option for the Mtext.

I used a work around, creating a new style based on standard and putting the 'Ø' char as a prefix on all dimensions. But in the finished file they didn't do that. How did they do it?!

Also I had a second issue trying to make the workaround style for angles to remove the incorrect inches unit symbol (") suffix from the dimension style (this is something that wasn't required, the instructors ignored this as an oversight i expect). I'll post a separate thread on that and link back to it here later.
