Fusion-360 - Linux (Wine Version)

image

Hello and Welcome on my GitHub-Channel "Crinkfly"!

In this repository you can find some instructions for Autodesk Fusion 360, where you get a way to install this program on your system. I will give you a feedback at different intervals, when there is something new.

My goal is that we can also use Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux and so we don't need longer two operating systems for this program, when we use this for our projects. I think this is a fantastic idea!


You will get more information about this program, then you can visit the original website of Autodesk Fusion 360 with this link: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/features


Also you get more informations about Fusion 360, when you visit my other channels:

Memory: 32GB

Wine version: wine-6.8 (WINEARCH = win64)


Installation on openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed:

openSUSE Leap 15.3

1.) Check if your system is up to date!!! (With YaST or open a Terminal and run this commands: su (input your root password!) and then: zypper up )

2a.) Install these packages with YaST: wine & p7zip-full (winetricks, winbind, ... will be installed automatically!) -> OR
2b.) Add this Repo: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/ and install these packages with YaST: wine & p7zip-full

3.) Reboot your system!

4a.) Open a Terminal -> Run this command: cd Downloads && winetricks -q corefonts vcrun2017 msxml4 (minimum requirement for running Fusion 360) -> OR
4b.) Run this command: cd Downloads && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks && chmod +x winetricks && sh winetricks -q corefonts vcrun2017 msxml4 (With this option you get the newest winetricks version!)

5.) Run this command: winecfg 
6.) Set the windows version to Windows 8 or 10 (Only when you use the wine version 6.6 or newer at the moment!)

7.) Close this window

8.) Run this command: mkdir fusion360 && cd fusion360

9.) Run this command: wget https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20360%20Admin%20Install.exe (Here we downloading the installer of Fusion 360.)

10.) Run this command: wine Fusion\ 360\ Admin\ Install.exe -p deploy -g -f log.txt --quiet (Run this command 2x)

11.) Open your Filebrowser (for example Thunar) -> Go to this path: /home/YOUR-USER/.wine/drive_c/users/steve/Application Data/Autodesk/Neutron Platform/

12.) Create a new folder: Options
13.) Create a new file: NMachineSpecificOptions.xml

Fusion 360 dosn't work at the moment with this method! Only the installation of Fusion 360 works!

But you can see now, that I search for a solution, so that Fusion 360 works on all Linux distributions. This is just one of my ways to get Fusion 360 up and running using Flatpak.


If you use Wine under XWayland, you can activate the option for "Emulating a virtual desktop" in the Graphics Tab in winecfg, to avoid problems with:

  • flickering
  • wrong window location
  • wrong mouse cursor location and clicks
  • keyboard detection

Note: Simply ignore errors that occur during installation.
The installation of Fusion 360 was repeated several times to ensure that it really worked.

Special thanks to https://github.com/probonopd for his old guide here: https://gist.github.com/probonopd/0fab254aa0b6fc371d8db641822bd530 ! :-)

Special thanks go to these users:

  • @mike-lloyd03
  • @Tony763

... they help me to get work Fusion 360 on Linux!!!


Which workspaces I have tested:


When you will dosn't use openGL:

  • Run this command: winetricks -q corefonts vcrun2017 msxml4 dxvk (Then you must install also dxvk!)

  • Run this command: winecfg -> Go to libraries -> Change these options:

    • d3d10core = disabled
    • d3d11 = builtin
    • d3d9 = builtin
    • dxgi = builtin

When you have opened Fusion 360 -> Go to preferences and in General under Graphics driver, select DirectX 9.
