Advanced option to check if imperial units are in use:

GetValue("ADVANCED_OPTION.XS_IMPERIAL")==TRUE

Translated string call for multi lingual text:

GetValue("TranslatedText("albl_Diameter_")")

Formatting of units:

format(GetValue("DIAMETER"),"Length","inch-frac", 1/16)

format(GetValue("DIAMETER"),"Length","mm", 1)

Combine all above in a rule:

if GetValue("ADVANCED_OPTION.XS_IMPERIAL")==TRUE then

GetValue("TranslatedText("albl_Diameter_")")+ format(GetValue("DIAMETER"),"Length","inch-frac", 1/16) + " Inches"

else

GetValue("TranslatedText("albl_Diameter_")")+ format(GetValue("DIAMETER"),"Length","mm", 1)+" mm"

endif
