After copying and moving a sketch, I can’t work on the original and the copy at the same time. I seem to have made a new sketch on a new plane, but I want them to behave like one sketch. Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong or how to merge them?

Project thecopied sketches onto your old one. That will merge them.
