I think you selected the sketch when you clicked the CubicCurve_4 button.
You should select the ControlPoly4_3L object in the tree, then click the CubicCurve_4 button
the entities progress as follows: Sketch > ControlPoly > CubicCurve not Sketch > CubicCurve
reference https://github.com/edwardvmills/NURBSlib_EVM/blob/gh-pages/Tutorial%200.01%20ControlPoly4%20and%20CubicCurve4.md step 3 "Select the ControlPoly_3L object and click the CubicCurve4 macro (now a WB icon)"
another thing to note: in order to do live adjustment of the curves/surfaces while dragging and dropping within the controlling sketch, you have to change a property of the sketch (properties are on the data tab in the combo view): in the "visibility automation section, set "hide dependent" to "false".
otherwise the control poly and curve disappear when you enter the sketch.
You were correct I had the wrong object selected.
I’m working on tutorial2 and having an issue/comments.
Thanks for the support,
Patrick

sure, select top level or click a blank spot in the tree or 3D viewport to deselect the folder we just copied. Then when you paste it will go to the top level. you can also drag the folder somewhere else even if you pasted it into the source folder. i could not reproduce your zx plane error just from a paste operation. everything seemed to be in the right spot.
the tutorial says to edit the attachment of "Anchor - xy001" and only this attachment. this moves everything, then you can edit the sketches themselves. BUT! the problem here is FreeCAD has changed its behavior since i made this model. My zx sketch used to be just fine, but now reports as overconstrained. so i went in the sketcher, selected and deleted the constraint FreeCAD suggested, exited the sketch and now everything works.
yeah FreeCAD changes fast. These tutorials are tutorials for the Silk tools themselves, and require the user to have the FreeCAD side of things under control.
if things don't move after attachment, this could be the (now) overconstrained sketch. i can't see any pictures in your post, so i'm not sure how to interpret it. In my case, zx sketch constraint 9 reported as overconstrained, so i deleted it, and then everything updated correctly and moved to follow the base sketch

When trying to create a control polygon and then curve I get the errors shown in the screen capture
