Copying and Pasting Sketch Items

Complete noob here.
Is there a straightforward way to copy a geometry in a sketch and paste it in multiple copies in the entity? As an example, if I have a long rectangle in my sketch and I have a single 5mm circle 2mm from the left hand edge, and I want to copy the hole and have 5 more holes evenly spaced across the length of rectangle to the other side, is there a simple way to do this? In Sketchup you can simply copy the circle, paste it at the far end of the span you want to cover, then enter /5 and it will duplicate the circle evenly distributed 5x. I don’t need to do the math to figure out the distance between centers, it just distributes it evenly. Is there a similar mechanism in OnShape? Thanks
