I really haven't spent much time trying this but is it possible to take geometry that was created in one sketch and move it to another sketch?
 
You could save it as a Sketch block and import it into the new sketch as well
 
I didn't think it would be as simple as that, thanks.
 
You can also make a derived sketch and then "underive" it so that you can make changes.

For complex sketches with many entities, it's generally faster than cut-paste through the Windows clipboard.

also, create a new sketch then drag (or ctrl-drag) the old sketch from the feature tree to the new sketch.
