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.

That is called publication. Google how to make publication in Catia.
Cheers
 
This is easy. Not needed publication, because it's within same part.
If it came from another part, it would have this icon:

With publication like this.

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