Proficy machine edition - inch to metric

[Bgc1369]

I am using a GE quickpanel+ and connecting it to an Allen Bradley PLC.
I have a lot of tags that I am reading from the PLC and displaying on the quickpanel+.
My customer is asking to change the displays from inch to metric and backNforth with a button. Is there a way in the Proficy machine edition (ver 8.6) to change all it is displaying from metric to inch depending on the "inch/metric" button?
some "code" to write or something?

Easiest is probably to maintain two sets of variables in the PLC, one set for English , the other for metric. Put both variables on the screens with visibility determined by a bit that you toggle with your "inch/metric" button.
You could also launch a script that recalculates the values with each touch of the "inch/metric" button.

If you had room, I would probably just display both at the same time.
