Highlight each dimension, right-click and go to properties. You can set the number of decimal places on the first tab, or you can go to the second tab and add [.#] after the &D, where # is the number of decimal places - I haven't tried the second option but it should work.
Not for each individual dimension - you can set a global number of decimal places (the settings are
default_dec_places for non-angular dimensions &
default_ang_dec_places for angular dims).
This is also from the help files:-
