There is no function in Fusion 360 to create text in a geometric pattern, in your case along a circular (Arc) path.  If you have to have this, the best way I can think to do it is create one letter at a time along an arc.  I just hope you only need a few letters!

just FYI - text along curve (not just circular path) is currently being worked on in Fusion.

@jeff_strater that is cruel to show that function on your "prototype" installation and not give it to the public!  Especially to @Monodon who is going to have to do it the hard way.  Next update maybe?

@jhackney1972  yes, yes, it is cruel, sorry about that...  Always hard to tell whether the benefit of giving hope outweighs the cost of it not being ready yet.  I'm not sure exactly what update this is coming in, TBH, but pretty sure it is not the next one.  That is from real code, though, no fakery involved.  😀  Have a great weekend!

Until it shows up, there is a plugin for $5 available from the Fusion app store that does the text on an arc. I used it to make this tag.

Hi,

as long as the function is not available in Fusion, use this way via Inkscape.
