Is there any way to move a group of views within another without grouping

Is there any way to move a group of views within another without grouping all in the center?

Edit:
Here some images with the process.

1.- I have a view with separate subviews (labels, buttons, images…)
enter image description here

2.- I create a new view (that will contain all the subviews)
enter image description here

3.- Select all the subviews and put them in the new super view.
enter image description here

4.- When the subviews are in the new “super”view, all of them are centered and I need to relocate all.

    I found a very nifty solution that you are not gonna believe .. !

    I had a group of like 30 labels and buttons positioned pixel by pixel, so I HAD to, no matter what, move them while preserving their relative locations to each other.. Here is what I did:

    1. Select all the views (labels, button, … etc)
    2. Editor -> Embed In -> View. (Now, they are in a view)
    3. Move that view wherever you like. (Heck, you can even cut and paste it to a new NIB!)
    4. Selected the view, Editor -> Unembed ! 😀

    I haven’t read this anywhere, I came up with it yesterday .. Am 100% sure people somewhere have found this way before me, though.

    EDIT:

    It seems Xcode 4.5 renders this answer obsolete. Copy/Pasting a bunch of views now retains their relative locations to each other. Don’t bother with this if you grew a habit on using it!

    Actually, I think this answer is still viable!
