Numeric Record Format Problems in Symbols

[MattG]

I am noticing that in a file I am working the fields that in the record format itself are set to numeric are showing up in symbols as numeric, but with the unit value being feet, which is not what I want. I am working on a library file and want to add symbols sizes to the record format for the symbols. My document settings are set to feet and inches. When I started I had it in inches. I was playing with how I wanted the units. I chose dimension in the record format editor for the values in question and it switched to feet.

I determined that I would just use a report to change the raw units 25 into dimensions 2'1". However I cannot get it to appear as 25 anymore instead I am getting 2.08333. I am hoping someone here has experienced this and might be able to guide me on a way to correct this. My goal is to have the end result not mean that I have to go back and manually reenter all the symbols record format dimensions.
