Can I fix entities relative to each other but still move them around
Can I fix entities relative to each other but still move them around
(OP)
I'm working in a 3d sketch and I have many arc segments that are connected together end to end kind of looks like a snake. I need to somehow fix or constrain the entities to keep them from changing but at the same time I need to be able to move the snake around as if it were a single entity. I know I can dimension them all in a way that preserves their individual size and shape, but that is quite time consuming because I have several with lots of arcs. I'm looking for a simple way to "fix" them all relative to each other, but with full freedom to move in 3d space. I tried blocking but can't seem to get it to work in a 3d sketch. Is there another way.
Any help is appreciated

A people who value security over freedom will soon find they have neither.

sounds like I just need to dimension all of the segments to solve the sketch
thanks,
