The units of elevation mark in drawings are controlled by the MarkDimensionFormat.dim file. You can modify this file by clicking on any dimension line in a drawing or, if you don't find the settings in the dimension you save with the name MarkDimensionFormat, loading this setting, and changing the three properties marked in the images below. Change the settings as required, then save. Remove the TOP_LEVEL or ASSEMBLY_TOP_LEVEL and add it again, and it will have the new settings.

Default:

For example, to change TOP_LEVEL units from (mm) to (m), open dimension properties and change the format as you need.

For a change in the mark, remove and re-add an element.
