Copy bodies and sketches from one file to other?
It is possible. right click on the bodie
and in the file you want the bodie, right click on the name
For sketches is different. Right click on the sketch and edit it.
Select the sketch and right click on it
In the design you want that sketch, create a new sketch. right click and paste. (keyboard command works too)
and there is your sketch. you can move it whereever you want. Just click on ok and that's it.
@jeffmorris another way to copy a sketch from one file to another can be done using DXF.
1. Right-click the sketch to copy.
2. Select Save as DXF and save it.
3. Now in the file where you want a copy of the sketch select Insert> Insert DXF.
4. Select the plane for the sketch and the DXF file created in step 2.
The sketch will be copied and you can also edit it in the target document, independent of the sketch in the source document.

@laughingcreek Thank you for bringing up the point. I missed mentioning the conditions for using the DXF sketch. As other methods to copy a sketch were suggested in the thread just wanted to add another option. But definitely should have had mentioned the limitations. Thank you for bringing it up.
