And one more thing,
Have you tried the "secondary dimensions" addon to achieve what you want?

I might be wrong, but I thought dimension preferences are stored with view sets now so you could establish a view set for your shop drawings with decreased level of accuracy.

I was referring to geometry results, and sometimes dimensions down to the nearest millimetre are not appropriate and you want to round off. It would be nice to have that option, whether it's 5, 10, 20, 100 or whatever you might need.

can you dimension the geometry construction method and let the weird dimension float? This way, the fabricators can see there was a specific construction thought behind the drawing and not just some "wacky architect" coming up with numbers...

just a thought
