Duplicate screw & nut to all holes of a board

[enrico.gueli]

I designed a PCB with holes, and designing a support structure for it. To help me with this, I added a screw and a nut from McMaster-Carr. I used the Align tool to center the screw to the hole, and the nut to the bottom part of the support.

(the support is invisible in the screenshot)

Now I'd like to do the same for the other three holes (two of them are visible in the screenshot). Is there a way to duplicate and center them to each hole?

I previously managed to duplicate and align just a screw on the other holes, but I can't seem to align both the screw and the nut. The Align tool will move a component so that one of its faces is coincident to a reference face; this helps me for a screw, but not for a nut that has to keep a different position in Z axis. I'd like to keep all the nuts and screws at the same height as the first pair, i.e. never change their Z position. I hope I was clear in my request.

Thanks for any help!

You should use joints to create assemblies, and not the align function.

In order to reduce operation you could also create an assembly (component group) of the screw and nut and then duplicate (copy/paste) the assembly.
