Is there an easy way to insert a bolt circle and maybe tie the dimension of the bolt circle to a bolt pattern?

How can I bring in a .dxf sketch and place it on a part and make sure none of the lines move with respect to one another? I am trying to bring in traces from a .dxf file on a PCB and place them on a solidworks PCB I have created. I don't want anything to move but I need to be able to place it...
If I uninstall Solidworks and reinstall, how does the new installation remember all my old settings and preferences? Is there a file somewhere and if so where is that file?

We use the Solidworks toolbox to insert our fasteners. My question is, when we do that what is the best way to ensure the fasteners are always there after moving the files around on our network? Is it best to make a copy of the fastener and save it with the other files in the assembly...
One question, I have a surface finish symbol in my notes that I have placed in my "annotation favorites" and when I bring it in, the surface finish symbol changes to say "#error: broken link"? Any suggestions or ideas how to fix this?
