Unit Driven Parameters

Unit Driven Parameters

WF4, M190 (yeah, I know)

I know you can assign units to a parameter, but they aren't doing what I had expected (hoped?) they would.

Is there a way to assign a parameter units so that it will update properly no matter what the parts units? For example, say my part is in mm and I want the volume in inches.  Can I create a parameter called VOLUME_IN and assign it the unit INCHES and then create a relation VOLUME_IN = MP_VOLUME(") and it would always report the volume in inches even if the part units were changed to centimeters or inched or yards or whatever?

I had hoped that was the purpose of giving a parameter a unit, alas it doesn't seem to work or I don't understand the proper syntax.

Thanks,
