Need a better way to position in sketch
You seem to be wishing for a way to drag a sketch, of a roller diameter, using a sketch guide path. You can create this in a number of ways, my Screencast shows one. Be more specific in your need and the Forum users can give you a more precise answer.

driven dimensions are supported within a 2D Fusion sketch. But, if you share more about your desired outcome, we can better answer your question.

@jhackney1972 @jeff_strater Thanks for your replies. Maybe this explains my question better. I did work this out but in a more convoluted way that is not what I was used to in other CAD programs and thought It would work the same in Fusion. This diagram shows the problem. Line 1 and 2 in use, have to be the same length when roller #2 is in the upper or lower position. It's actually the distance from roller 1 to a cutter that is represented by the lone arc at the lower right, when it's in the upper position the end of the web only to be at the top of the roller. What I'm trying to determine is the proper position for roller #1 to give the same line length in the 2 positions. This is oversimplified in the sketch because there are other objects interacting with the web between the 2 when the arm that controls this moves from position 1 -2.
What I would do when doing this before would be to have a dimension that is the total length of the line as a driven dimension that I could watch as I dragged the roller around so it became easy to determine the best position for it. That's what I am missing, I can only get driven dimensions of line segments. not of a whole bunch of segments.
