How do I move a sketch to be offset from the plane I created it on?

I have clusters of geometry in the YZ plane and wish to copy/paste them to various Z values in the XY planes.  when I enter edit mode the other sketches aren't available, so I can't perform a point-to-point paste as desired.  clusters are on the horizontal portion and need to move copy/pasted to the construction planes along the arc that points southwesterly direction.fusion stations.JPG

In modelling window, 

select articles to copy, then Cntrl C without the menu, or right mouse click for menu, click Copy,

 

edit destination sketch,

then Cntrl V or right mouse click, select Paste,

 

before OK,

you can move for alignment 

 

then OK. 

Stop Sketch.

 

Repeat

I would start sketch in destination plane, copy lines with r click, paste with r click, select point to point, then select from and to points. On some clusters of lines it worked, then on some they moved elsewhere and I was able to locate it correctly with a move/copy. One set created a ghost copy that remained unselectable. I'm guessing that constraints on the original lines are affecting the move? Originally I was importing the geometry via draftsight and a friend suggested creating all the geometry within fusion.

@Anonymous: If you just want the lines because you want to offset them, you might try Sketch -> Project / Include -> Project (or just pressing "p")
