Hi all!  
Here is my problem:  
I’ve copied part of a sketch and moved it up away from original. The moment I wanted to rotate it, my original piece rotated too, messing up my entire sketch. Seems like copied element and its original change at this simultaneously. How can I fix this? Most of reasons I copy something, is to make changes ONLY in copied piece, not original….  
Ant thoughts?
