How to add PEM nutserts to a weldment

Hi,
I'm making a weldment which calls up PEM nutserts (a self-clinching
fastener) and I don't know how to do this efficiently.
The parts exist in the SW Toolbox, so I created a part and added it in
using "insert part". The problem is that it just gets inserted at the
origin. I tried to relocate it using the feature move/copy command, but
this seems so limited in its functionality as to be useless! It lets me
select the origin of the nutsert as the start of the move, but the only
geometry type you can select as the endpoint of the move is a vertex - not
much use when I'm trying to locate it in an existing hole. It doesn't even
let you pick reference points as the endpoint.
Any thoughts?
As a workaround, I recreated the nutsert as a revolve as a separate body,
located directly in the hole.
I now want to use this fastener elsewhere in the part. Is there any way of
being able to copy this to another location (not in the same plane), so that
I have just the one revolve defining this one fastener size?
I'm on 2004sp5.
Cheers,
John Harland
