Hello.
I want to use the same parameter to rule several parts of the same assembly.

I have created a lenght.1 parameter in my product assembly root, but this parameter is not available in the sketcher.

In the formula editor, if i link a sketch dimension by clicking to lenght.1 in the root it only reproduces the lenght.1 numerical value but isnt synchronized.

Anyone knows?

Have you tried setting the Tools-Options-Infrastructure-Part Infrastructure-Keepl link with selected object option?
While you're there, deselct the Only use published elements... option or publish the assembly parameter.

Best regards
 
Kr6,

You need to drive the parameter of sketch from assembly.

You have a parameter Lenght.1 in assembly level
Create a relation that drives sketch lenght to assembly level (not inside a part).
Example:
Part1/PartBody/Sketch.1/Lenght.1=Lenght.1

Product1
L Part1
| L PartBody
| L Sketch.1
L Parameters
| L Length.1
L Relations
L Part1/PartBody/Sketch.1/Lenght.1=Lenght.1
