In the screenshot I want to copy the selected sketch (in light blue, the circle) onto the selected surface’s plane, so that if I select that surface again (after copying the circle) and do “space”, any other sketches I draw should intersect with the circle.

I’ve been trying translate but no luck…

Any tips?
