Move sketch to the origin

andrea_boschetti

When I import a sketch sometimes it is imported very far to the origin so is difficult to find it. is it possible to move the sketch to the origin?
thank you in advance

This was an excellent video. Thanks

would be good if there was a button "Center and Arrange" that would do this automatically instead of the current solution

When the imported file is in STL format, for example, there is no option to use the Transform command in the tools... How do I move this imported file to the origin?

The transform tool works fine.

Main, transformed by x.y.z o a given distance.
If you don't know the distance or can't measure the distance directly then look at suppressed items to make a sketch that can give measurements.



version 2, transformed by points
I did sketch a new point where I wanted to transform the stl from.


version 1, original location

To avoid confusion: There are two Transform tools. One is used inside a sketch to deal with sketch entities. The other is outside of a sketch for parts and surfaces. - Scotty
