I must be the only person experimenting this problem, I searched and no results.

Fusion 360 doesn't want me to see sketch dimensions.. F360 tells me to check "show dimensions" The few times that option is available it works for a little while then they disappear. I'm starting to hate F360. Why does Autodesk think we don't want to see the dimensions in a CAD program?.

So while in an ACTIVE sketch the dimensions are hidden and you don't have the option in "Sketch palette" to how/hide dimensions? If so that sounds like a bug of some kind and not normal and I would post in the F360 forums for an answer.

In fusion once you have exited the active sketch the expected behavior is for the dimensions to be hidden. You can however right click on any sketch in the browser on the right side and select "show dimensions" and they should appear for that specific sketch.

You can also check the dimensions of a sketch, body or component with the inspect/measure command at anytime in any model space.

Edit to add: You have to actually Dimension/constrain your sketch for the dimensions to show. For example if you open a new sketch and draw a circle..no dimension is shown even if you input a value while creating it. You have to do to dimension command and constrain it to a value which will then show up as a dimension in the sketch. I am guessing this might be your issue.
