Unit Conversion in Dimension Tool

My workplace has been moving from Solidworks over to Fusion360, 

 

On Solidworks, when you are dimensioning a feature on a part, and have units set to mm, if you enter 3/4" it will dimension it to that, and automatically convert it to mm and display it in mm, so entering 3/4" or 3/4in will give an output of 19.05mm

Any ideas on how to do the same in Fusion360? I've tried the above but doesn't seem to work...

You have to use an expression like this: "(3/4)*1 in"

seems like a long way of doing it when other softwares are able to figure it out without having to enter an equation for it

Eventually it will get better in Fusion as well but currently that's where
things are.
