How to freeze a sketch

$

Hallo,

 

I have a problem in importing a logo in .dxf format: I would like to import it in a sketch (and then save it as .sec), but after the positioning it comes out as a multi-spline and multi point sketch. That would not a problem except for the fact that if I place it on a part to make for example an extrude (or a surface offset), I cannot move it by setting a dimension: once it is positioned, to move it I have to delete it and re-import a new one.

I already know there is the function Rotate and Resize, but this allows only rotation and relative translation (distances or contraints cannot be given).

 

Is there a way, somehow, to freeze the sketch so that if I move a point, the rest follows rigidly?

 

Here is a screenshot of my logo (forget about the open loops, that can be easily closed), if I move just one point or line of it, the global shape messes up:

Nor I can block all of its dimensions, since when I import and position the logo, some of them are related to external references.

 

 

 

thanks

 

bye
