How to display dimension units in Drawing

I want the dimensions shown in my drawing to include the units. I found a knowledgebase article but it's out of date. The Preferences -> General -> Drawing dialog no longer has a Display Units checkbox and I don't know what to do.

Expand document settings then select dimension units and then on the settings dialog check the Unit Abbreviation option.

Note, the option above will work for existing drawings. If you want all your new drawings to show units you can override the setting in preferences. Another option would be to make a template.

Why after so many years and with the realith that we are paying fees to use this Fusion 360, the drawing module is absurdly weak?? I can not make a simple drawing with dimensions on it? Why The sketch mode in drawing module is as simple as a preliminary shcool drawing interface??
