In Autodesk Inventor, you can quickly name a dimension for parametric modeling by entering "totalWidth = 15in" into the Sketch Dimension toolbox in place of just "15in" - this doesn't work in Fusion. The only way I have found to do this in Fusion is open up the Parameters dialog and manually edit the spreadsheet, which becomes time consuming and tedious!
Attached is a photo of how this feature works in Inventor.

I recently moved from Inventor to Fusion 360 and was surprised this option wasn't available. Using parameters is so much harder in Fusion compared to Inventor. Being able to easily parametrize models is a crucial design feature.
This is important for us but we have some more critical sketching projects such as getting fully constrained sketches out of preview, improvements on sketch solver and performance, CV splines, as well as number of other things in sketch you current just can't do. Hopefully we can get to through our list quickly and get to this soon.
