is there something in settings that will fix this?

In v3.7 the only option to report position is what is now called "legacy dimensioning". What you are seeing in v4.2 is called Xactmeasure. To make v4.2 use legacy dimensioning:

Insert>Dimension>Use Legacy Dimensions.

FTR Xactmeasure is not totally straightforward. Hexagon offers an Xactmeasure/ GD&T course that I highly recommend if you are going to try to use Xactmeasure, especially for the more complex FCFs. I wrote a review of the class that you might find illuminating. http://www.pcdmisforum.com/showthread.php?19131-GD-amp-T-Xactmeasure-class-summary&highlight=Xactmeasure
