How to align circles?

I have a rectangle with 5 circles in it, I want all 5 of them to be in a straight line (the center of the 5 circles should align horizontally). How do I achieve this?

    a couple ways to achieve this:
    - use the horizontal constraint on their center points (hotkey "h")
    - have all the centers coincident to a horizontal line (hotkey "i")
    - use a sketch linear pattern along a horizontal
    other methods are probably less effective
    also, I recommend dimensioning one circle, then using the equals constraint "e" to set the other circles to equivalent diameters - this will save you time when editing stuff later on if you decide to change the sizes.
