how to add a body as linked solid to another body

[NIMANIMAX72]

hi there
i come across a file at work that has tree like the uploaded pic.
they designed a forge part in one body and then add it to a another body as a solid
then for example add a hole to that solid
now if i change the external diameter of forge part(first body) the second body will change too
it seems very helpful for parts that machined multiple times.

To recreate the steps made in sample, you would need something like this:
