Will Fusion extrude JUST fully constrained, enclosed sketch geometry?

[st_smith74]

I'm sure the "hey, Solidworks user here!" gets thrown around quite a bit in these forums; but—yes— I am from the world of Solidworks where fully constrained, enclosed sketch geometry is easily and automatically extruded to the desired solid without fumbling through selecting all of the potential intersecting faces I don't want to include. In short, I just want to make an enclosed sketch, click extrude, specify the end condition, and be done with it. Am I not fully understanding the Fusion sketch environment, or do I need to approach sketch geometry differently?

You can only extrude fully enclosed sketch, not related to constraints.

A question without any context leads to somewhat generic answers. Can you provide any images or concept of what you are trying to do?

@Anonymous not quite, you can extrude open sketches (single lines even) to make a surface patch:

Looking at title and body of the original post, I was convinced that sketch is primary subject in question and since my primary use of Fusion is in manufacturing, machining in particular, I made a point of not being able to extrude sketch unless it is fully closed.

As far as I am concern, everything else can be filed under ....  "Am I missing something?" classic,  I realize that doesn't cover all possibilities but I thought lock of response to the post would at least address one topic I am familiar with.
