A useful option for moving a sketch, i.e. Stretch elements

On the Sketch tab, next to arrays and relations there is a Move elements command. Most of you have probably used this using the rotate command, transfer or scale.

This operation allows you to detach selected sketch elements and attach them elsewhere.

Sometimes, after this process, you need to complete some of the relationships and dimensions, but it seems natural.
