I’m trying to move a quite simple sketch and got the warning locked points can’t be moved.  
I have like 8 points and go unlock each one and still cannot move my sketch with the same message.  
Before I turn mad, is it possible for a selected sketch to unlock all points and finally move the sketch? Also, is there a handy way to recognize locked and unlocked points? The lock icon is pretty coounter intuitive if you compare its behaviour on the sketch and on the right constraint panel.  
To le the lock state is a weakness of shapr3D that needs to be adressed

In the sketch mode use the select tool an lock.

Hi, thanks for the tip but I’m working on my iPad right now and I do not have a select tool

Push the pencil a little and move will be a highlighted area
