I wish to move a design in a part studio to another part studio with in the same document?

Hi, in the same document I have two part studios with designs, I now wish to join them together in a third part studio (not assembly) so I may edit them all within the same document/file?
My other question I would like to ask is there a way of getting a centre origin to an organic sketch? As my intension is to extrude the organic sketch from the main base product but then do a first print (organic shape) then print main body over the top (using Z hop) naturally I will need these to line up for the printing on the print bed.
Thanks for any help

    Let's say you have part studio A and part studio B. You can derive parts from studio B into studio A (or vice versa) and edit from there.

    I'm not sure I fully understand the second issue. You can use mate connectors as an origin, or you could add a sketch point to the sketch.

    Thanks for your quick reply, I will try out the derived function and hopefully it will work.
    As to the second part of my question relates to printing, as I wish to inlay a thin organic shape into the main part, I first have to print the organic shape and then print the main part over the top. The main part has had the organic shape extruded (removed) allowing the two to bed together, The problem is as the slicer program centre's object's when imported I wondered if there was a way for on-shape to find the centre of an organic shape? Hence making it easier to align the two items.
    Sorry for my poor explanation, but I might be asking for something that cant be done or isn't really necessary.
    One again thanks for your help
