You have it set up for Architectural Units, in which a drawing unit is an inch, despite your -DWGUNITS setting [which, as I understand it, has more to do with the drawing's relationship to other drawings  than internal conditions, but it's not in my vanilla AutoCAD -- only in overlay programs].  The same is true for Engineering Units.  If you want a drawing unit to be a foot, you have to use Decimal Units.  Civil Engineers do this all the time, and they define their Dimension Styles to add a foot mark as a suffix.  The drawback is that your [for example] 2'-6" dimension will come out as 2.5'.  I'm not sure there's any way around that.
