6. Create another Pad feature to act as a cylindrical boss.
7. Center a Hole feature on the cylindrical Pad.
8. Duplicate the boss and hole to create the second boss, as
shown in Figure 1–3.

You can organize features based on the design intent by initially
defining the overall size, major geometric shapes, and then later
the finishing details.
Parametric
Features created in CATIA are parametric. All of the dimensional
constraints used to define a feature's shape are considered
parameters, and are accessible at any time. Double-click on a
feature to display its dimensional constraints and change any of
those values to alter the geometry. The dimensional value that
positions the Pocket feature (shown in Figure 1–4) has changed.
The position of the feature updates to reflect the design change.
