If you are up to some easy application file changing, you can assign different sketch colors to most all your design entities. Below is the path (Windows) to the controlling file for the RiverRubicon environment and an Animated GIF showing the sketch color changed to a bright yellow. All you need is a simple text editor. Be sure you back up the file before altering in case you make a mistake.

I do not have the exact path but I am sure it in a similar folder. Do a search for the shown XML file and see what you find.

- Right click on the dock icon, show in finder
- Right click on the Fusion application icon, show contents.
The path to the xml is:

John is right and this is fully possible, the path is quite different on macOS but the xml is still there and editable all the same. The full path is long:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/b0342c71c957b534dd1f17522ad0b16911522879/Autodesk Fusion 360.app/Contents/Libraries/Neutron/Neutron/Server/Scene/Resources/Environments/RiverRubicon
THe tricky part on mac is you have to 'show package contents:

Phil, " Users/[name]/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/webdeploy/release/[long alpha numeric code]/Autodesk Fusion 360.app/Contents/Libraries/Neutron/Neutron/Server/Scene/Resources/Environments " This path gives nothing. Ryan's on the other hand yes
You would have had no idea of the ability to modify the XML file and achieve what you desired was possible until I posted the possibility. The operating system is purely a side note to the solution.

I corrected the path to point to "production" rather than a development build.

@ryan.bales would you have an explanation on the rgb, argb and rgba code? I don't understand the associated code as seen in the capture. Thanks in advance.
I would, if i also understood it in full. Perhaps we can tag in someone that could explain it and is familiar. @Victoria.Studley or @lance.carocci could either of you shed light on the coloring inside the xml above?

This is what I believe the number mean:
- A - This is the transparency value of the chosen color. A value of "1" would have no transparency and a value of "0" is completely transparent.
- B - This is the percentage value, expressed as a decimal, of RED in the color chosen. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) colors are listed in tables with a value of 0 to 255 with 0 meaning the color segment is completely turned off and 255 meaning it is completely turned on. So if you want your color to contain all RED, you would place a "1" in this place. If you want it to have no RED, you would place a "0" in this place. If you want it to have half of the RED color you would place ".5" in this place.
- C - This is the percentage value, expressed as a decimal, of GREEN in the color chosen. See the same explanation in "B" above.
- D - This is the percentage value, expressed as a decimal, of BLUE in the color chosen. See the same explanation in "B" above.
So if you used a ARGB color number of "1 .5 .8 .2" it would be an opaque color consisting of .5 (127/255) of RED, .8 (319/255 Approx.) of GREEN and .2 (51/255) of BLUE.

It is shown in my post, for each primary color, it is a proportion of the color you want over 255. To get a value of approximately half RED input you would use .5 which comes from 127.5 / 255 RED color component.

@Victoria.Studley , @lance.carocci what interests me most is to know what these different labels correspond to
thx
