Is there a fast way to create multiple identical sketch features?

I love that the space bar now allows me to reselect commands easily, but it still feels like it takes to many steps to do something simple. Maybe I'm not using the best workflow...

As an example, I project geometry a the face of a part onto a sketch that has a lot of holes (circles) which represent a screws clearance size hole. But if the new part that I am creating off of the projection requires all of the holes to be the smaller tap drill size, then I need to go and draw those circles one by one where the larger projected holes sit. If I use the space bar to reselect the circle command, that speeds up the process significantly, but what would really help is if Fusion remembered my last numerical entry so that it not only selected the circle command, but also pre-populated the diameter field with whatever I did previously. That way with two clicks I could be done and on to the next hole instead of having to type the diameter in for every single circle.... Is there a better way to handle this?

Use Equals constraint. Make all the duplicates the same as the first, if there is no underlying pattern.

Lack of context of how the first face was made, sounds like the whole workflow is not best practise. (Hole - counterbore, might assist.)

Might help….

You can change the hole size in batches if you use the hole creation tool.

The question is, why don't you?
