Select by circle diameter within a sketch?

I'm pretty new to Fusion, so I'm assuming this is something simple I just can't find. I've drawn up a 2D simple rectangle, and made a pattern in it with about 70 pairs of concentric circles. I'm trying to find an easy way to select the same diameter holes or even the plane made between the two sets of circles in one go rather than clicking each individually. When I look in the selection options, it has something to restrict the size of selections, but that seems to only apply to bodies, components, etc, rather than individual portions of a sketch. Is there something I'm missing, or can I not just say 'grab every circle I drew that's 5mm' from a 2D drawing?

no, there is nothing like that today.  You could probably write an add-in to do that, but there is no tool like that in Fusion today.

Hi,

Basically, you should not run such patterns in sketch mode but as a feature.
This is especially true if you want to use variables.

Okay, so make my feature, whatever it may be, and then make my pattern using that after I've modified it to whatever I need it to be in the 3D space? Got it.

I second this emotion! would love to be able to select all of same size circles, for extrusion. For those of us designing things with a zillion holes of the same size, it would be very helpful.

Can you Attach an example?

The example in the original post was done incorrectly for computational efficiency.
