Scaling DWG in Beta

I am trying to scale a large project layout DWG as the background to my model. I want to enter 0.0833333. The issue is that the Position Rotation ans Size only allows two decimals of precision so I end up with 0.08 which leaves several feet of error in the model which will not work for the client. I cannot find a preference to change the precision or number of significant digits. Using the 17.2 beta which is not an option in the drop down for the Software Version submission.... Ideas?

I can't prove this menu item, because if haven't got an installed beta at home. At work I get this window with a precision of 7 in Flexsim 17.2 Beta

Excellent. I was looking in the wrong place - Global Preferences. Thanks for the help!
