Pattern is how you repeat features.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "part of a sketch". 

Maybe a screenshot to help clarify what you are trying to accomplish

Create a new part.

create a sketch feature with one complete sinusoid.

finish that sketch feature

Select the sketch feature in the model tree.

select Pattern

change the option to direction

select a datum plane that make the pattern go in the direction you want it to

enter the increment  that works for you sinusoid.

enter the number of repeats.

You can use Project while sketching to copy any line or edge onto the new sketch.  Internal sketches from previous features cannot be used as they are hidden.  But, the edges from the feature can be used.

You can save 2D sketch as section (*sec) and import whenever required in sketch.

Pattern is what you want, I believe.  You may be familiar with Solidworks which allos for patterns within a single sketch. You cannot pattern within a single sketch in Creo.

 

So, create the sketch of the initial sketch with the two semicircumferences then pattern that sketch 230 times.  You probably want a directional pattern with the increment set the same as the length of your intial sketch. Select you sketch feature, select pattern on the toolbar, set to direction, pick an appropriate direction reference, enter an increment, set it to 230 instances.
