Link parameters doesn't work

[Karol-Or]

I made 2 parts, c cylinder and a plate with a hole, and tried linked the Diameter parameter in the Cylinder file.
First, i chose the Diameter, in the link dialog box, but the new user parameter that was inserted was the file name only.
Secondly, when i activate the Hole parameter in the plate file and select List Parameters in the Equation column, i see only the Hole parameter, not the new one, the Diameter, which i tried to link.
So, the link doesn't work.
But, i have, also, a general question: why do i see, in both files, in the List Parameters dialog, only the parameters which i changed their names? i expected to see all the parameters of the part, no?

Open the parameters dialog in your plate.ipt

RMB on the linked file and edit folder

Choose which parameters you want to link.

If they aren't already exported, you'll receive a warning. To avoid this, first export the parameters in the file you're going to link.
