Fully constrain a sketch

Is there a miracle feature that will fully constrain a sketch like available on other platform? I imported a cad shape and need to constrain it but it will take a while due to complexity. I don't need the sketch to adapt only to have it as a block.

If you just want to treat the geometry as a block, can you just box select all sketch entities and apply a fixed constraint?1

OMG it's a miracle thanks a lot
I did not know that was the purpose of this constraint. 0 -
Sure, no problem.0

Darn it's almost a very good solution... The only issue is that when coping the fixed sketch is looses all constraint. Further that points have to be fixed separately of segments.0

the solution depends on how are you going to use that geometry, if you coping that sketch without editing to different planes maybe worth to perform operations you need in place with original sketch and use a part/feature pattern. so you don't even requare to fix the geometry. if you need editable instances the only solution will be to manually put a fix constraints.
