Move sketch plus bodies into a new design file

I want to move 4 bodies and a sketch from a design to a new one, so that I have a standalone design to work with, enhance and reuse. I have attached my design. 

Body 2,3,4 and 5 represent the screw holes for my eventual lidar, and sketch Lidar Footprint is how I positioned them.

 

I would like a new design that has those and then incorporate them into my main design. 

 

Can't figure it out despite at least an hour of fussing. Yes, simple copy/paste or cut/paste or derive, none of them worked as expected.

Derive works fine for me, in fact this is the only way to copy bodies between designs.  I did a video on the process.  I will not include the model as you will have what you want after executing the video.

@jhackney1972 THANKS! It seems that there is another derive command under create which was what I had tried. The product can be quite confusing with so menu menu items, and even duplicated menu commands with different functionality in different places. I really appreciate your help!
