parameter driven flexibility

Is there any way take a parameter driven sub assembly, put it into a higher level assembly, make that sub assembly flexible, and then control that flexibility with a parameter from the higher level assembly?

I have a sub assembly that has a hinge with angles that are driven with the parameter "HINGE_ANGLE". I'm trying to pull that sub assembly into a higher level assembly and control that same hinge angle from this new, higher level assembly. So I made the sub assembly flexible and added the "HINGE_ANGLE" parameter in the Varied Items. Next, I added "ANGLE" to the parameters of the top level assembly. I then went back into the Flexibility Varied Items and set "ANGLE" as an associated parameter to "HINGE_ANGLE". Now I'm getting circular reference errors. Is there something I am missing, or am I just going about this the wrong way?

Hi,

so you have parameter driven subassembly included in higher level assembly. If I were you I would create a relation in higher level assembly which drives parameter existing in sub-assembly.

I can create an example for you ... just let me know what Creo version do you use.
