(OP)
How do you control how many decimal places are shown in sketch dimensions? I've had a look around the sketch preferences and customer defaults, but did not find it.

RE: sketch dimension displayed decimals
Preferences -> Sketch...
...dialog, however this was a global setting which would set the decimal places for ALL sketch dimensions, existing as well as future.
However, starting in NX 6.0 we added a separate...
Preferences -> Annotation...
...dialog which behaves like when setting Drafting parameters in that making a change to the decimal place settings here will only effect future Sketch dimensions. If you wish to change the decimal places of a specific Sketch dimension, again it's done like in Drafting where you select the Sketch dimension, press MB3, select Style and edit the Decimal places under the Dimensions tab.
Remember to keep in mind that the number of decimal places used by the expressions associated with the Sketch dimensions will not be effected in any way by what you've set the displayed decimal places to be when viewing the sketch in the Sketcher task.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
