I'm using 2001, in the Intent Manager sketcher mode I have used the add data from file command and selected the sketch I wish to use. I then sized and oriented my sketch onto sketching plane. The problem that I'm having is aligning my imported sketch to my datum planes at origin. ( Please see the attached JPEG file).

My problem is that I would like to align the datum point and ALLl the geometry contained within the red move command ( the data from sketch to the brown datum planes point at origin 0,0 in one move.
I have tried using collinear constraints, and this only works for a single entity. Is there a way to move an entire sketch , maintain all positioning between the entities?
I'm having a problem aligning this geometry( data from sketch) because the white control point ( from the move command) aligns to features beyond my control. The white Large X ( move handle) in the geometry to be moved aligns to unknown features( I suspect it aligns to the hidden grids).
I have turn the grid on and off and turned the snap on and off and have found that the white x (move handle ) is the alignment control point. And this still aligns to the hidden grid.
Is there a way to align the datum points and have all the geometry follow proportionately?
Is the a way to calculate where the white X ( move handle) is generated in the sketch. So when I use this move command, I can compensate and place a datum point to which the White X when aligned to this new point will actually bring the geometry to the origin at 0,0,?
Are there settings in config.pro that will allow me to have better control when using the move command?
Last, I'm a new user and don't have much experience using sketcher outside of Intent Manager, so if possible please post a solution that uses intent manager.
Thanks for your help!
