Fill a sketch outline with circles

Hi, I’m new to Fusion360 and not sure of the best  terminology to search with. I’m wondering if it’s possible to automatically fill a sketch outline with as many same diameter circles as will fit. The goal is to generate cell layout for a battery pack in odd shaped boxes, so you could draw the outline of the box, define the cell diameter and spacing between cells, and it’ll produce a sketch of evenly spaced cells filling the box outline, hope that makes sense!

Take a look at this Forum post by @g-andresen, I think it will help you out.  He is creating the bodies that fit into any area but you can adapt his method to achieve a sketch if you like.
