How to copy/paste a loft?

Okay I've been building random things to teach myself how to use Inventor and right now I'm stuck on a rim I'm creating. My question is.. is there a way to copy and paste a lofted item since there are three parts to it (2 planes and 1 guide) because I need 4 more spokes and if I copy the loft it copies all three parts seperately. Then when I paste and orientate the small end of the loft to the plane I want it tells me "Unsatisfied Geometric Inputs".

Use the Circular Pattern command to create the additional spokes as shown below.

I would concurr with the circular pattern suggestion.

I don't think it is possible to just copy and paste a lofted feature for the reasons you

mentioned.  The guide curves, additional plaanes and the profiles.  They are all tied into the origins

from which they started.

Okay thanks I was just hoping there was an easy way I could locate key points and create a duplicate. But I got the circular pattern to work so thanks.

You can copy/paste if you follow the rules (parent/child relationships), but still don't understand how that would have helped you with this part.
