Subject: proper writing of measurement abreviations

I had a collegue return a drawing to me with changes to the way i had 
written the measurement.
I was under the impression that when writting out measurements, either 
imperial or metric, using the abreviations, the said abrev. would exist 
directly after the numeric. example, 2mm, 2", 20km, 50mph

Their request is to put a space inbetween example, 2 mm, 20 km, 50 mph.
I have not been able to find a resource on which is the best practice.
