Multibody Parts: SOLIDWORKS vs CATIA V5

How does SOLIDWORKS handle multi-body parts compared to CATIA V5? Starting with a simple sketch to create a box in SOLIDWORKS, we make two solid bodies with a few easy steps. In CATIA V5, it's still very easy but done a little bit differently.

If you want to make it works in Catia like in SolidWorks (one sketch defines both bodies) you can create the sketch with projected lines from the first body sketch in the second body. This way when you change the first body sketch the second body with change the shape just like the first body just like in SolidWorks if you use one sketch for both bodies. But if you just copy the sketch like you did in the video the second body is going to stay the same when you change the first body sketch.

Does catia show total how many solid or surface entities are there?
