Sketch "left behind" when "transforming" moving part

I have part that has a sketch on its face that extrudes a hole and then pattern fills it. But now when i move the part , the sketch is "left behind" and extrude+pattern breaks. How to move the part so the sketch and extrude moves with it?
Maybe I'm just doing something wrong here, first day learning Onshape.

I want to move the "lid" down into place.

I went through your whole model. Pretty good for one day! A few feedback items:
The transforms are not doing anything at all. They just moved the lid up and down many times. Delete them all. All 6 of them. The Assembly Studio is where you would explore moving the lid up and down, not the Part Studio.
About half of the sketches are not fully constrained. That will come back to get you.
Your first sketch should use the origin as the center point. This will be very useful in general, as you can use the default planes to dimension to and for symmetry of features.
Happy modeling.
I have the same basic question/problem. I draw a sketch then extrude it to form a part. Later I want to move the part to place it a location that is more logical relative to other parts. I know I can do this in the assembly, but sometimes it is helpful to "line things up" in the parts studio. So, I select the part then go to transform and move using the XYZ option. It appears to do exactly what I want. But, if I then right click and "Show All" I can see that the original sketch did not move. I don't understand why the sketch and extrusion seem to be two separate entities that do not stay together. I have sometimes had a similar issue where I used the extrusion tool to remove or create a hole in a part that I have already extruded to create a solid. The "remove" creates a hole in the extrusion, but leaves the original sketch surface in place. There is something fundamentally wrong with the way I am creating parts but I don't see where I am going wrong.
@robert_mouradian
Transform is only going to operate on the objects that you select. The sketches are part of the history of the part, but they do not move with it automatically. Is there any reason why you wouldn't model the part where you want it to be in the first place?
