Hi mk1978, MoI does not currently have that type of "instancing" function like SketchUp components but it is something I want to add in the future.

For moving a set of objects all at the same time, if the objects are all selected then they will move together at the same time when you drag them or use Transform > Move. If you are repeatedly selecting the same set of objects you can assign them a name and then that name label will appear in the Scene Browser and you can select them with one click there.

I don't think there is a video, but if you want to make a construction line and then move it somewhere else you can use the "Relocate cline" option on the construction line pop up menu that is shown in the command reference. To move it by a set distance set the "distance constraint" value in the bottom toolbar.

If you can maybe sketch out an example of the situation where you want to use it I can make an example video for you.
