It is sad that we are not getting response from vmware nor apple.  probably this experience is giving me the thought probably i must move away from expensive and un concerned expense apple eco system

Hi when i start the vm after docking to docking station, all pheripherals get recognized. i pause the vm and disconnect the docking station.  When i connect back none the pheripherals usb get recognized. Only way for me is to shut down the vm and close vmware and restart. is there any where to refresh the usb connection to the vw. regards, Partha

now it works.  pls take this in your next version for auto closure. thanks There is a cumbersome workaround. I discovered this on a system running the public release of High Sierra 10.13 while installing Fusion 10.0.1 over top of 8.5.8. Fusion 10 apparently does not install its USB extension until after the main installation. Maybe there's a good reason. When you first open a VM (mine was Windows XP), Fusion tries to write the USB extension to disk, but it is blocked by Apple's security. To allow the USB extension, first open the System Preferences, Security & Privacy pane, unlock it, and then RETURN TO THE SHOW ALL PANE. The reason is that the Security pane will not refresh if it is showing (Apple's bad). Next, start the newly installed Fusion 10 and open (but not run) a VM that normally uses USB. Now switch back to the Security pane and you should see a message about VMware with an Allow button. Click it. Nothing will happen. Close the open VM using its red button. Now click Allow and the message should disappear. Quit and restart VMware Fusion. Run a VM and insert a USB device. It should be treated as you would expect. Maybe there's a simpler way, but the foregoing worked for me.
