Callout precision

My drawing templates are set to a precision of 2 decimals for dimensions. The holes callout template for counterbored holes is set as follows:

**COUNTERBORED HOLES
COUNTERBORE-THRU=<MOD-DIAM><hw-thruholedia> THRU;<HOLE-SPOT><MOD-DIAM><hw-cbdia> <HOLE-DEPTH><hw-cbdepth>

When I enter a callout for a counterbored hole, on the drawing, comes out with 2 decimals. To set it to one decimal I have to select from the callout value field each component individually and set it to 1 decimals or go through Properties/Precision and set it to 1 decimal.

Previously, in 2004 one set from 2 to 1 decimal was enough to change all the components of the callout to one decimal. Is there a way to do that in 2005? Spending more time and mouse clicks to do the same thing it looks more like an involution than an evolution.

Interestingly, after I enter the callout for a blind tapped hole, setting the precision from two decimals to one will affect the depth even the field selected in the "callout field" is "Thread description".
