I was able to add circles at the center at 7.25 and 6.00.  It just takes a long time:

Which brings us to the subject of complex sketches and performance.  In general, complex sketches in Fusion are not a good idea.  The performance will not be acceptable in a sketch of this complexity.   This looks like some kind of sprocket or gear.  You would be much better off to just model one of the teeth in a sketch, and use feature pattern to model the rest of the teeth.

Thanks.  An important lesson learned.  SVG files can import a lot of complexity that may need to be simplified.  In my case each tooth comprised hundreds of line segments.  But by using a spline and a couple of lines I was able to create a tooth face, then use mirror symmetry and circular patterning to create a complete gear with 60 teeth that does not crash and is accurate enough for my purpose.
