Is there a way of pasting a sketch onto a plane to an exact location?
I tried to do it by zero dimensioning to a feature but it will not
allow me to get any closer than .000039. This is not a functional
problem for the drawings I am doing but it is still irritating not to
be able to move the sketch to an exact location.

Thanks

I've been doing it the cheats way laterly.

Autodim then drag it...

Not 100% sure what you're trying accomplish, but here's a cheat you can use
when confronted with a zero dimension value problem:

Let's say the origin is the feature that you wish to have a zero dimension
to. Create a line and dimension it 1" away from the origin. Then create a
dimension between that line and your sketch entity and give it a value of 1
inch. This locates your geometry exactly. If you're fussy about it, you
could link the two values.
