Putting tolerances in a Sketch, is there a way?

In the decades of using CAD, I have asked other CAD companies to incorporate the ability of putting tolerances in sketches that would then show up on the drawing.  The concept is as follows.  When designing is when one is thinking about tolerances for fits and product performance.  So it makes sense to incorporate a tolerance at that time, not weeks or months later when the drawings are created.  I understand that SW and Creo have this capability but I can't find a way to do it in Fusion.

Fusion does not have this ability at this time.  You can model with "tolerance" accuracy but the drawing will not automatically pick up the tolerance and apply it.

Hi John, thanks for replying.  I am not certain what you mean by Model with tolerance accuracy though.  Could you explain?  

Regarding putting tolerances on sketch dimensions, do you think it would be easy to implement in Fusion?  It appears that most of the information is already there.  Sure would be nice to have.

My statement about modeling with "Tolerance" accuracy, I simply meant that you can use the highest accuracy decimal accuracy in your sketch dimensions to suit your modeling needs.  I am not an Autodesk Developer or an employee, just a user like yourself, so I cannot address your listed questions.
