I'd like to use a sketch to "compute" the correct sizing of a parameter, and then use that parameter in other sketches. If it were a simple value to figure out I would define it directly as a user parameter, and then use it in both my sketches.

The only way I have currently is to overlay the sketches and create equality constraints, but that doesn't feel as clear as having a named parameter

Any thoughts? thanks!

Every dimension, when created, is matched to the equivalent of a variable name (d0, d1, d2...). These are called Model Parameters and they are autogenerated by fusion360. After you have created the dimension that you want other dimensions to refer to hover your mouse over it. A small window should show you the name you can use to refer to that variable in the format: d1: 40 mm.

If you want to create your own parameters I'd recommend watching this video and this video.
