Hi,  
I’ve noticed that if I move a sketch away from the plane in which it was drawn it looses it’s name.

I can understand this if I were moving part of a sketch but I have been selecting the whole sketch via the items browser before doing a translate. After translating it requires re-naming.

Thanks  
Simon
