are you talking about drawing dimension or measurement in 3D ?

drawing dimensions, when I use the pull down the it gives me the options out to .0001, I need to be able to go out to .00001. I have looked at the dimension styles, but am not positive about the terminology. I was thinking it was the "value display format> main value> displayed factor" or one of those, but they didn't see to work.
 
Instead of choosing one of the options, just click in the panel and type in the round-off (precision) you want. For 5 decimal places, type in: .00001
