It would be fantastic if Fusion could adapt fastener sizing into the "Hole" feature. For example, I want to add a countersink for an M3 fastener. This is a simple dropdown selection in SolidWorks. Fusion requires me (unless I'm missing something) to look up the fastener geometry, and manually enter everything myself.

Just some while ago we had someone demoing what he made for Fusion360. It was a feature that added complete fastener sets (hole, screw, nuts). Unfortunately i haven't heard of this anymore though it yet looked quite complete in the demo.
This is a very basic feature for assemblies and especially for simulation.
The feature should also allow for custom input of fasteners so that vendors and companies can add in the functionality of their unique fastening systems. Inventor for instance has great functionality if you want to use pretty generic stuff, but often the sizing for countersink features and such are WRONG (particularly for washers) if you rely on Inventor's presets.
Unlike Inventor (my experience ends at 2013, so if this has changed then thank goodness for Inventor users), bolts should not be huge machine hogs or mess up simulation. If an equivalent is needed when moving the view or working with assemblies or running simulation, just populate it and only render the nice pretty bolts as a background process.
This is one of the many many small productivity enhancing features in SW that Fusion could use as well. Not great eye catching features bit stuff that makes day-to-day operation more efficient.
I design mostly machinery and the lack of this functionality infusion is the the main reasonone that I can't even think about giving up my solid Works license.
It seems crazy in this day and age that I would need to look at a table to import bolt dimensions into a program that is so sophisticated.
For now can we skip the whole being able to import specific bolts and at least be able to put the hole in the part without having to have a tap drill chart glued to our desk? If I could just select "tap drill m6" for example. Or "clearance hole m6 flathead". You can go ahead and add more sophistication later.
Some version of the comments above is very high on my priority list. It should just be a simple look-up/drop down list like Inventor...then, hold your hat, bring that detail over to the 2D drawing automatically when the hole is dimensioned.
Looks like the Hole Wizard function is the most desired addition to Fusion! Please refer to Future Consideration thread called Bolted Connection for Fusion. Most likely, this will be the name in Fusion. Looks like it was worked on in 2014 and then last year moved to future consideration. If the combine the 133 votes of this thread to the 171 votes of the other thread, this is by far the most desired function. And from what we can see on the Youtube work-in-progress presentation from 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KaSAqCgvT0), looks like they were on a very good path.
