Copy Body

How to work with a copied bodies.

Whenever you work with a copied body, doesn't matter is it linked or not, always use an Add command. You should never add new features directly to the copied solid. The reason is that CATIA does not allow user to replace solids, in this case only the whole body can be replaced. If the features have been added directly to the solid and the solid has to be replaced, these features will be lost.
