Which Dimension Default are you using in your current view, and which one did you edit the settings under Temporary Setup, per the previous suggestion?

 

In previous versions, Temporary Dimensions was a discrete tool with its own settings and controls. Now, Temporary Dimensions adopt the locate (and other) settings from the currently active dimension default. So your "Setup Temporary" settings need to be done on the dimension default you're using in the current view in order for them to apply to temporary dimensions.

As Chris said, you need to make sure you are changing the "currently active dimension defaults" for the view you are in.  If you use the "edit" button at the bottom of the "saved dimension defaults" dialog, it should give you the correct ones.  I updated my picture above to show this.

 

If changing the temporary dimension defaults still doesn't work, you might need to give us some more information about what you are trying to change.  You might want to also post the plan you are having the problem with.

Hello GM. Im new in this sofware Is there somewhere I can find out which one I am using so I can go and configure the correct time dimensions?

See the image DBCooper posted above, follow those links and you will be editing your current dimension default:

 

 

When you go that route, the current dimension default will automatically be highlighted.

 

You can also simply double-click any dimension tool in your toolbar and it will open that current dimension default, where it can be edited.

At the bottom of the dialog box in your picture above it says "currently active dimension defaults".  These are the dimension defaults for the view you are in.

 

The other place you can find them is if you use the "edit active view" tool and go to the "selected defaults" page.  This will show you all of the defaults that are being used for the view you are in.
