who do I group a set of scketch entities

Hi
I Am trying to copy/paste a group of sketch entities and then position the pasted entities in their new location.
I paste the group:
And then I am trying to coincide one of the points to a reference line so the new entities will be centered.
When I add the new constraint only one point moves to the new location, what I need is for the entire set of entities to reposition.
Is there a way of doing what I'm trying to do? What is the right way of doing that?
Thanks

Everything in this example the only dimension constraints are lengths of lines. When I had things defined with a point-to-point dimension to the spline control point, that dimension was not coming through, so I instead dimensioned the line to the spline control point instead. So from that limited experiment, I'd guess that certain ways of dimensioning and constraining may work better than others to make them able to copy and paste reliably.
I think it is an issue of not properly constraining the sketch entities. Make sure that your original sketch is completely constrained (ideally all lines and points turn black) then copy and paste. Yes, it is possible to do what you are trying.
