How to fill a given space with a grid?

Okay the title might be a little misleading but I couldn't figure out a better one.

 

I have a "box"

I want to make it a small parts storage with 9x9 drawers. Between each drawer has to be a wall of 1.45mm width (or height, depending on the orientation)

Each drawer does need to be of the exact same width and height. I can't change the dimensions of the box.

 

I'm miserably failing at the math and I'm not sure I've ever felt so incompetent before. I'm wonering: is there an easy way to let fusion360 do the job?

I added 9 lines in a row between the outer walls, selected all lines and applied the "equal" constraint but for reasons I dont understand that gave me very confusing results. I ended up with like 5 lines or so in a row.

Do you want partitions inside this box?  You say you want "drawers" but that is not clear as to what that is?

Sorry for being unclear.

 

Here is an image of a typical small parts storage from home depot.

If you remove the "drawers" (the little boxes you can pull out) and the outer walls in your mind there will be a grid left where you can put the boxes in, right? That's what I'm trying to sketch

Here you go.  It has 2mm walls.  It is for the full height of the close to square enclosure but can be made any height you desire.  Model is attached.

 

By the way, you would be a lot better off to Capture Design History.
