This seems very basic but so far every video and piece of documentation and post I have read fails to answer the question: can you align sketch objects when working on them in 2D mode?
This seems like a very basic capability that should exist somewhere, but so far I have not found it. I simply want to be able to draw two rectangles, one larger than the other. Nest the smaller one inside the larger one and align the midpoint of the smaller rectangle's left side with the midpoint of the inside of the larger rectangle's left side.
When I do this manually I am having to zoom-in to microscopic levels to try and align things or set up some convoluted framing with other shapes. Even a way to plot the X,Y,Z coordinates to align identifiable vertices would be welcome. So far using constraints just breaks things. I have ended up trashing several components now because of some unseen constraint issues making them impossible to manipulate.
You would think some of the intuitive functions from apps like Blender, Illustrator, Substance 3D, Altium, etc would be available in Fusion.

It is indeed basic. Almost all parametric solid modeling software use sketch constraints for this.

Those aren't parametric solid modeling software 😉
This is trivially easy to do.
Horizontal Shift midpoint midpoint.
Vertical (same command) Shift midpoint midpoint.

No zooming of view.
