Parametrized holes

I am building a body with a number of holes with no regular placement and on multiple faces. I am not sure yet which screw size I am going to use, so I thought I was going to parametrize the hole dimensions so that I can change the holes later.

 

However:

  1. I can't find a way to copy/paste holes. Is that possible at all?
  2. If just using the hole command again, Fusion remembers the previous values of the last hole made, but only the values, if using parameters on the original hole, the parameters are gone. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

The answer to your first question is NO.  There is no way to copy holes as you can do with bodies.  The answer to your second question, at least as I read it, is Yes.  All you have to do is make sure your previous placed hole diameter is made a favorite parameter or you create User parameters up front.  Take a look at the screencast.
