The "Decimal / Fraction" select box under the "LRA/Part Settings" button is used to format the resulting "lengths" or "locations" and the part's "cut length".

If you use a tape measure that has fractions you may want to set these values to match up. With all NC or CNC machinery you will want to set the tolerance to 2 or 3 decimal places.
