Fusion-360 - Linux (Wine Version)

I use WINE for running this program on Linux, so you don't need longer two operating systems just to be able to use Fusion 360.

On my system I use openSUSE Leap 15.3 with the desktop environment Xfce.

Fusion 360 is actually already running, but I go a step further and have added the CUDA repository from Nvidia to use the CUDA toolkits, because I think this gives me more performance for Fusion 360.

You can find here instructions for openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed, Ubuntu and for another Linux distributions.

With this link you come to the original website of Autodesk Fusion 360, where you can also get more information about this program: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/features

My system:

OS: openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta x86_64
Kernel: 5.3.18-52-default
DE: Xfce
CPU: Intel i7-7700HQ (8) @ 3.800GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile 6G (Community Repository Nvidia & CUDA Repository)
Memory: 32GB

Wine version: wine-6.6 (WINEARCH = win64)

Installation on openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed:

1.) Open Yast -> Install Software -> Install these packages: wine & p7zip-full (And it's important that have installed the newest graphics driver!) -> Reboot your system

2.) Open a Terminal -> Run this command: winetricks corefonts vcrun2017 msxml4 dxvk (minimum requirement for running Fusion 360)

3.) Run this command: winecfg 
4.) Set the windows version to Windows 8 or 10 (only when you use the wine version 6.6 -> At the moment)

5.) Close this window

6.) Run this command: clear (It's better to see, what happens, when we clear the terminal.)

7.) Run this command: cd Downloads && mkdir fusion360 && cd fusion360

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

9.) Run this commands: 7z x -osetup/ "Fusion 360 Admin Install.exe" && curl -Lo setup/platform.py github.com/python/cpython/raw/3.5/Lib/platform.py && sed -i 's/winver._platform_version or //' setup/platform.py

10.) Run this command: wine setup/streamer.exe -p deploy -g -f log.txt --quiet (Run this command 2x)

11.) Run this command: cd $HOME && mkdir .Fusion360 && cd .Fusion360

12.) Run this command: env WINEPREFIX="/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360.lnk (Here we opening the program Fusion 360 and this creating some files in our .Fusion360 folder.)

13.) Login with your account data

14.) Then go to preferences and in General under Graphics driver, select DirectX 9. <-- OR -->
15.) Then go to preferences and in General under Graphics driver, select OpenGL <-- This is now the best choise for Fusion 360!

16.) Close Fusion 360

17.) Run this command: winecfg -> Go to libraries -> Change these options:

d3d10core = disabled
d3d11 = native
d3d9 = builtin
dxgi = native


18.) Open Fusion again with this command: env WINEPREFIX="/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360.lnk (It's important, that your changing to your .Fusion360 folder in our home-directory and run then this command now & in the future here.)

19.) Now everything should work so far.

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 ! :-)

Which workspaces I have tested:

construction (works)
animation (works)
rendering (works , but when you will saving a rendered file, then you must changing something: https://github.com/cryinkfly/Fusion-360---Linux-Wine-Version-/releases/tag/v1.2
production (works)
simulation (Local calculation dosn't work at the moment)
