new guy question about constraints

hi everyone.  i'm working my way through a udemy course on fusion 360, so i'm new, but learning quickly.

 

here's my sketch, and i'm trying to get these circles to all be centered, and i can't figure out the best way to do it, and i'm sure there must be a simple way to do this.

 

here's the drawing of the part i'm trying to model:

here's my sketch:

as you can see, my circles aren't quite lined up.  i'd like them equidistant from the sides of the large rectangle, and i don't know the fusion 360 way to do that.  not sure i'm explaining this correctly.  does this make sense?

 

any advice?

Hello,

 

in this case you can use construction lines in sketch. These lines are help you to constraint sketch. A switcher is in SKETCH PALETE command panel - see attached image

Construction lines are not used as a boundary for sketch profile.

Look at your original drawing.. the places where the dashed lines appear are ideal places for construction lines. It's important in this particular design because the drawing is telling you that the spacing is from the centerline .. not from the outside edges of the rectangle.
