I would like to know if it is possible to change several sides automatically by changing only one manually.
Hello
Yes it's possible if you constrain your pieces not in relation to the one that has to move or if you pump up the other pieces with dimensions that you link to the master dimension (the one you will midi). A screenshot could help us...

Hello
yes of course either with a skeleton sketch, equation .....
Can you tell us more so that we can give you the best solution.
may the force be with you.

yes if your other dimensions refer to or refer to the reference dimension
But be careful for Solidworks it's endless calculations
so strongly advise against it if you don't want it to lag a lot
Give examples of what you want a screenshot
Fits super well and readable for everyone regardless of the log used

Thank you for your answers, I have for example created two sheets constrained together and I would like that by modifying the diameter of the two holes of the larger of the two sheets, the holes of the small sheet automatically adjust to the same diameter, or that by changing the length of the larger of the two sheets the dimensions of the smaller one adjust in order to keep the length constraints (that they have the same length).
Thank you for your answers.

Hello
To do this, you just have to edit the child part in your assembly and refer to it in your sketch a "=" relationship to the diameter of the hole. And for the length, same principle in your sketch you put a relationship of collinearity.

Hello
Yes it is possible, it is called associativity and allows you to modify several dimensions related to a single value, you can make sure to modify several bodies according to a single modified dimension in a multibody or to create external references in the case of an assembly (stress relations between several parts, but you have to be careful with that). These relationships can be determined by equations, geometric constraints, or be related to properties (I think that's it).

if your holes are made by material removal and not by the drilling assistant,
All you have to do is edit the sketch of the holes of the small sheet and make the circles coradial with the circles of the holes of the gerande sheet metal
For the length, you have to edit the sketch of the small sheet and render the collinear lines to the edges (or sketch lines) of the large sheet

Then what you can do is edit the sketch of your child part in the assembly, and project the desired elements of the sketch of the parent part to use with features, or constrain the child sketch with geometric constraints depending on the sketch of the parent part.
On the other hand, be careful, this method creates external relationships between parts, you must not lose sight of the fact that the child part depends on the parent part, so if you need to change the dimensions (those that are related) of the child part independently of the parent part, you will have to remove these external relationships, Don't panic, just right-click on the child part in the tree --> external references --> delete. Check that your sketch is constrained after that, there you go.
Hello
personally for this kind of thing I use driveworks Xpress it's so easy to use and it lends itself well to this kind of thing =)

A global variable
And if not to have only one function; You remove material from the assembly and you check at the bottom of the "share or propagate to parts" function. When you change a diam it will modify it to all the rooms where the function has been propagated or shared.
