Beginner - Replicate Spline around Circle

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi there, I am trying to replicate a spline around a circle. These are going to be used as rails when I loft through the circular profiles that I have created. I mirrored the spline first, thinking that this would be enough but it seems that I need to replicate it more to retain the exact shape that I need (i.e. more rails). When trying to use the circular pattern I can only repeat the spline around a point (seems a bit silly to me that you cannot select an actual circle sketch to pattern around, but I am a beginner so I'm probably working it wrong). Just want to replicate the spline say 4 times around the profile copying the intersection to the circular profiles. Is there an easy workflow for this? Any advice would be very handy. fusion 360 issue - replicating spline.jpg

Ha of course, thanks CADWhisperer, for some reason I had got my mind stuck on using loft. Just in case though would there be a way of doing it this way if I wanted?
