Why?  The feet and inches symbols are a function of the unit format which in this case can be either Architectural or Engineering.  You could always choose to use Decimal.

Yes I agree with John that the "units" should be part of the dimensions but you can also use the "fractional" units as shown but without feet/foot :

Space matters. The reason why I am looking for that kind of "dimension" is: I realize a lot of "fire protection sprinkler installation" in many type of buildings, condos etc. Because I keep all the walls, door frames, and all the architecture stuff, I have to put dimensions on "all the lines" [the long and short one's] for fabrication on site, so my drawings becomes so heavy of informations, it is hard to read dimensions sometimes. Some sprinklers companies already use that kind of dimensions in Quebec province (Canada)  but don't want  share their dimensions. So this is it, this is the reasons of my request!
I would like to thank you every one who took time to answer my post!  Sorry for all the misspelling in my sentences.  My regards,
