ID surfaces rarely can be used in mechanical design regardless of the software simply because they are created with no prior knowledge of the detailed mechanical constraints and limitations. In almost every case these surfaces has be adjusted after.
Anyway thank you all that answered my question
If you copy and paste with link a body in a new part the geometry will update if you change the original one.
However when trying to copy and paste a open body option with link is dimmed.
Is there any way of copying a open body into new part and keep associativity?

I have the FSS but it cannot use it because I need parametric geometry.
If I adjust curve in FSS the changes will not propagate in the rest of the geometry. If a surface has been extruded from that curve in WSD it will not be updated
So basically I need exactly the FSS capabilities but in a...
Let us consider the following scenario:
You get complex styled lines from industrial design department which you have to reproduce and build the surface and solid geometry after. You are going to use these lines only as visual references.
In my experience with this kind of highly styled product...
Thank you for responses
It wasn’t suggested 1 feature per body, however in one particular example it was suggested to put a simple hole in a separate body.
Most of the other bodies had a few features.
But one or a few does it really make difference?
I don’t think so.
I haven’t obviously made myself clear enough. Suggested technique does use the hole and not cylinder. However it puts the hole in a new body in which btw the hole is only feature. In the and it assembles the "hole" body to the main one.
My question is: Why they suggest to separate the features...
I am relatively new to Catia 5 and the thing that I find somehow confusing is "suggested" model organization using bodies and than assemble them using Boolean operations.
So I would like to ask experienced CATIA users what is the benefit of making model tree that complex creating a new body for...
In WF2 the best way to do it is
1- Mirror the original curve sketch plane
2- Copy and Paste(Not Paste Special)the original curve
3- When prompted for new sketching plane choose the mirroed datum plane
4- Place the new curve by dragging it in desired position
This way the new curve will be...
As far as I know there is no way to do it.In your case it is probably better to copy the curve by choosing appropriate sketching plan and dimension independant option.
