Why do sketches not paste in to the same cords when copied?

Is there a reason when I copy a sketch to paste it into a new on that it doesn't retain its origin?
I always have to realign them. Seems it would be much faster and easier if they dropped exactly where they were copied from.

However, if you are not editing a sketch you can copy and paste in place easily with a right-click command. Please see the animation below and let me know if you have any questions:

Optionsbradley_sauln Moderator, Onshape Employees, Developers Posts: 373@Tony_C_ Some additional notes from my digging:When you paste into a sketch that isn't active, the pasted entities get roughly centered on the origin. This is difficult to do that since the 2D reference to the origin doesn't carry through.When you paste into an active sketch, they go roughly where your mouse is.5

I submitted a feed back ticket.
There's also some info in the comments as to how I pasted each sketch.
