Hi Nicolas,
There are sveral ways - depending on what you really want to use it for.
First of all, you can make a copy of face easily by
- double clicking on it (this will selet the face and its bounding edges)
- Selecting the Move tool , pressing Ctrl and moving a "copy" of it.
After selecting the face, you can also right click and make it a group so that you can handle it easier anfd it won't "stick" to other geometry.
If you make a component instead, you can always insert this component into your model from the Component browser.
In either latter case however, if you want to use the face as a profile for the Follow me tool - after placing it to the right place - you will first have to right click and explode.

thank you very much for your quick answer. i need to make a tunnel so i must draw the line and after follow it with my face. As a difficult face to make, i need to use again but not re-draw it all the time. So the best way to do this is to duplicate like you said me. it works perfectly!
you can make a group too for the same results but i'm thinkig that it will be limitation for my model.
