Copy and paste multiple sweeps

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

This is my first post so bear with me 🙂 

I've been using Inventor LT for a while now and I am somewhat familiar with the sweep command. I have come up against a problem in that I cant see a way of copying and pasting a sweep of a curved line at multiple points in a drawing. The screenshot attachment shows one extruded leg of the ETD49 vertical I am attempting to model, and the locations of the other sweep paths I wish to copy the feature to. 

I'm aware that I could just repeat the drawing for each leg (setting multiple work planes up and repeating the original drawing dimensions at each correct point) but I was wondering if there was a simpler way of achieving this. 

Thanks in advance for viewing this post.

This looks like a perfect application for feature patterns: http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-9B3D1B72-340A-4F3E-9AD1-80E6DDD91ED2

Thanks sbixler, 

bit of a noob with some features, the rectangular pattern worked a treat, I just selected the solid I wanted to pattern, then the planar direction, and finally the pitch of the legs and it turned out decent. A lot simpler than I first thought.
