Referencing user parameters in linked component

[mailR2VS9]

I have an assembly, that includes a linked component with some user parameters.

I would like to use the parameters in the root-component (or in a child-component of the root).
How can I do that - if even possible?

I have only been able to find very old answers on this topic.

Thank you very much.

I think that's not possible. User parameters only are saved only for that component. So if you insert that component in another file, when you make a dimension you won't see the parameter that you want to use. So you should create the  parameter in that assembly. 😞 

Or if you want to use those parameters you can make the assembly in the file where you have the parameters, another option is to copy that file and in that file make the assembly, so the user parameters will be there. 🙂

Not knowing what exactly your application is I am hesitant to recommend it, but you can derive parameters from one design into another, using the Create->Derive functionality.

The derived user parameters can only be changed in the originating design. Once the originating design is saved with the applied changes, the design the parameters were derived into will need to be updated for the changes to be reflected.
