How on earth do you grab and move drawing geometry

I simply want to grab and move drawing geometry (related lines and circles, etc.) within a sketch.  Simple stuff, but I cannot figure out at all how to do this.

    You can also use Transform (select geometry, right click)

    You can do this in 2 ways:

    1) Select the vertices (dots) NOT lines of your sketch, once all are selected, drag one of them, it should move the rest. Or;

    2) More from an "engineering" perspective; drag to select your sketch, right-click and then select "Transform" you should see the arrows to move X, or Y, Scale or Rotate altogether. 

    I hope this helps,

    @michael_fuller, Currently this facility is not available in Onshape. You can raise improvement request for this. In near future we hope that this facility will be provided by Onshape. Till time you have to give dimension manually by dimension tool.
