Creating set from an existing set

Hi,
is there some way I could create a new set from an existing set? Let's say by taking out some nodes. I have a structural part with bolts in it. It is an orphan mesh which I received as .dat file. Abaqus considers it a part, but the part contains node sets describing bolts (which I used for defining section properties). Since I need to define some MPC, I would need to create sets describing threaded part and the upper part of the bolt and it would be useful if I used the existing sets. If not, what are my options for creating sets easily?
