- parameter ValueEa - (Length * UnitCost) 60.0

I move to the assembly drawing and want to create a Total Cost parameter

Assembly.iam
- parameter ValueEa - 60.0 **stolen from the ipt
- parameter QTY - 3 ** 3 pieces in the assembly
- parameter Total_Value - QTY * ValueEa

This final parameter is giving me grief! ValueEa will not translate into the assembly file. Is there a linking procedure i have to do? I clicked Export in the Parameter window. The QTY parameter is not working for me either. Am i not allowed to us it in a calculation?
