Yes, but why would you want that if it’s not accurate?  Why not change the pitch and make your model correct?  

 

One reason that I do not condone would be:

 

High limitation if you use the right pitch you will exceed it so you draw it at one height/pitch and build it at another since the plan checker will check the high but no building inspector is going to and even if they do if you are only a few inches over they will chalk it up to field construction.  Some contractors love to live in the grey area and walk the line of what is code compliant and what is not.  

 

Also I am not sure any framer is going to follow that 3 5/16 : 12 pitch... Maybe 3 1/4 : 12... I am not sure I would want my tolerance set to 1/2 but 1/8" - 1/4" is what I have had contractors ask me for they get really prissy when you give them fractions like 5/16 or 3/32 lol.
