When putting in dimensions I can put in different units then what I am working in and that works fine.
For example, my sketch is in mm and I draw a circle, but I want to specify the size in inches, that works just fine. Where I want to see the change is when I EDIT the dimension of the circle. It keeps the size in inches. I would like for an option to convert it to mm so that when I edit it, I can edit the value in mm and not inches.
This came up when I was looking for a size of a bolt and the first result I found was in inches, so I just used that to create the circle. However, I needed to tweak the design a bit and wanted to do it in mm.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but what I do is to type the dimension in inches, Fusion will then show what the result is in mm after you type enter. Then I retype the value it gave as a result for my final.
Also the paramter table shows both the dimension as typed and the result value in the units the document is set to.

Yeah I think this is there as a setting. Mine always go to mm no matter what units I enter.

After reviewing this, I found out that you need to change your active units in the design to what you want it to be in order for your units and inputs to be consistent.
