You might find it easier if you can convert the DWG to a DXF. With a DXF you can import into a design with InsertDXF and if the design has history enabled you'll be able to edit the sketches and add constraint and dimension. If you import by uploading a DWG after enabling history the sketches are in a base feature so not as useful as imported sketches through InsertDXF.
Also if you organise your sketches in the DXF using layers and blocks you get the same organisation in Fusion. Blocks are made into components and each layer will create a sketch.

Have you got a dxf you can share. The warning message should not be a problem as you can pick units on import so there might be something else wrong. The insertDXF command will only import 2d sketches, is there anything else in the file?

Don't know if you've figured this out but you don't need to trim the lines in Fusion, you can pick more than one region for the extrude. Can be tedious if there are lots of closed profiles to pick though.
