Hey guys,

I’ve been having this problem many times now but always found a way, and after a few hours I might find how to do it now but I just cannot understand why we don’t have a easy tool for this problem yet.  
For solids we have the align tool witch is soooo awesome, but how about sketches. I’m getting .dxf from architectural website for special shaped solids to save time. That’s awesome but I would like to bring my two sketches to “align” to sweep. Check video to get the idea. It would be nice to have a tool to bring a point of a sketch back to origine and work from there or an “align” for sketches, shouldn’t be too hard to create…

Thank you.

That’s exactly what the Translate tool does.

Thank you and sorry for my lack of knowledge on this one.
