Copying Features to multiple points

[batchelder.jimmy]

I am looking to copy a revolved cut to several points on this part. The parts are not in a regular pattern so I cannot use the Pattern tool. The Copy/Move will not let me select the revolved cut for a point to point copy. It will also not let me select more than one point to copy the the feature too. This is a larger part that I need nearly 100 profiled holes in, so doing a Copy/Move Faces operation for each location is not an option. 

Is there a tool for this I am unaware of? Or am I misusing the Copy/Move tool? This seams like a very common and simple thing to do. I feel like I'm missing an obvious solution.

In the example below I want to copy the revolved cut, from the smaller body, to the center of all the holes in the larger part.

In a parametric CAD software the sketches need ...

I think you meant to write, "In AutoCAD LT..."

I have been using Parameters in AutoCAD for many years (I think more than a decade, but not sure).

Yep, new in AutoCAD 2010 >>Parameters in AutoCAD<<.

It seems like I'm missing something every time I do this.

Based on your responses - I recommend that you Attach some example *.dwg and *.f3d files here.

I suspect there is a better way than whatever you are doing...

I meant AutoCAD at the time I ditched it like a hot potato for SolidWorks in 1998 😉

After almost 7 years of people asking for the ability to copy / paste to multiple points is anybody from Autodesk paying any attention to what users want? Come on guys PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP start adding some of these fundamental features that should have been included in F360 from the outset.

Apparently Autodesk is paying attention...

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this sketch feature and will certainly give it a try and bear it in mind for future designs.

This won't help however when the target points are not all in one sketch plane, plus it should not be necessary to create additional sketches when fully defined 3D geometry is available with selectable target points. 

What we need is the ability within the point-to-point move/copy command to select multiple target points in the 3D workspace.

Treat all sources of information with caution - you don’t want to be misled.

Hmm... Not really sure what you mean by this.

Anyway I just went to try this feature and realised that it is not present in F360 as the link you sent is for Inventor Pro so is irrelevant to this thread.

Still hoping for this copy option myself.  AutoCAD "Copy" using the "M" multiple option was very useful to me over the years.  Patterning/arrays are just not always possible.  In addition to the that was "P" for previous selection set.  Nothing like that now either.  I think Fusion 360 allows creating "groups" outside of the copy command, but why would I do this when I don't necessarily know in advance what I'm going to need in any particular instance?

So as I understand there is still no option here to copy a feature? I need just simple copy
