I am placing northing and easting callouts in a site layout plan. While most of the dimension on the plan I want to show in architectural units (i.e. 25'-6"
I want northings and eastings to display in decimal units (i.e 145003.25). How is this accomplished?

Daniel,
The control of the numeric display of Northing/Eastings is done via the AutoCAD Units dialog, so you can set that to Decimal. Meanwhile you could have your Dimstyle to be Architectural display, but that would require setting the Scale Factor of 12 to turn the feet measurements into Inches. If, however, your plan is in Architectural inches, and you want the Northing/Eastings to be in Decimal Feet, that is not something that is currently possible.
