Autodesk Fusion 360

What works

I tested the construction part. I modified one of my constructions and I made a new simple construction. This worked. The access to the Fusion cloud works too.

What does not

Under directx 9 the browser toolbar make problems. If I move it with mouse it crashes. Additionally the right marginal is not visible. With directx 11 this works.

It's not able to close the app legally. If I close the app fusion crashes. So I have to kill the process

Workarounds

Don't move or change the browser-toolbar (directx 9).

What was not tested

The other modules (animation, simulation ...). I only tested the construction module.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

Installation:

First I installed some additional packages:
libvkd3d-utils1, libvkd3d-utils1-32bit, phyton2-vulkan, phyton3-vulkan, libvkd3d1, libvkd3d1-32bit, libvulkan1, libvulkan1-32bit, vulkan-tools

I use Intel-processor graphic: libvulkan_intel, libvulkan_intel-32bit

I use q4wine. With q4wine I made a new prefix "Fusion360" (64Bit, win10)

Then I installed some dlls with winetricks:

env WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Fusion360 sh winetricks atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2017 corefonts fontsmooth=rgb winhttp win10

Next I downloaded the newest dxvk (1.3.3) from https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
Next unpack and install:
tar -xzf dxvk-1.3.3.tar.gz

env WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Fusion360 sh setup_dxvk.sh install

Next I changed to the wineprefix folder:

cd  ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Fusion360

Next I downloaded Fusion 360:

wget https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20360%20Admin%20Install.exe

Next unpack installer:

7z x -osetup/ "Fusion 360 Admin Install.exe"

Next modify installation-package that Autodesk think you install Fusion on a windows machine:

curl -Lo setup/platform.py https //github.com/python/cpython/raw/3.5/Lib/platform.py

sed -i 's/winver._platform_version or //' setup/platform.py

Next I started the fusion setup with q4wine:
Run streamer.exe in folder ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Fusion360/setup

After some time a login to Autodesk cloud appears. Then to bugs appears. You can confirm them with close and ok.

If your graphics hardware works perfect with dxvk Fusion 360 works with directx11 and Fusion is ready to use. 

I corrected the two bugs at startup while forcing the app AdCefWebBrowser.exe to work with windows 7: Winecfg - Apps > add app > AdCefWebBrowser.exe > Windows Version Windows 7

Path to AdCefWebBrowser.exe: 

/home/stolz/.local/share/wineprefixes/Fusion360/drive_c/users/stolz/Local Settings/Application Data/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/20d8a215552686a0cc6ad2a520b7fb0a527ccca5/WIN64/

Next I added with q4wine an icon to start Fusion 360. The automatic generated icon on the desktop don't work for me.

On my laptop Fusion works with directx 11. My desktop PC works only with directx 9.

So I started Fusion on my desktop PC and switched Fusion to directx 9: preferences > global > graphics driver

I killed the fusion process and restarted my PC.

Then I uninstalled dxvk:

env WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Fusion360 sh setup_dxvk.sh uninstall

Now I can start Fusion and it works with directx 9.

Pre-requisites :

Wine 3.8 arch x64 (Windows version set in "Windows 7" NOT ANY OTHER)

Microsoft Visual runtimes 2017 (vcrun2017)

Install it with the last winetricks for example.

They have some issues with d3d11, you have two solutions :

* Disable lib d3d11 (go to winecfg > libs > add d3d11 > set "disabled")

In this case, you have little problems in main menu, and "gray" parts in some software area... But fusion runs as he can...

* Install dxvk implementation of d3d11 (need a wine version compiled with vulkan support).

winetricks vulkansdk  

Download the last release of dlls : https://github.com/doitsujin/d...

Extract dlls (for example in : ~/.wine//3rdparty_dlls/dxvk/)

cd ~/.wine//3rdparty_dlls/dxvk/[x32/x64]
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/ ./setup_dxvk.sh

(if you have multiple wine versions, add PATH with the good wine into)

To avoid "err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution."

do : apt install libpam-winbind

---------------------------------------------- Lib Gnu TLS errors

Symptoms :

* 002b:err:winediag:gnutls_initialize failed to load libgnutls, no support for encryption

* 002b:err:winediag:schan_imp_init Failed to load libgnutls, secure connections will not be available.

* "No network connection"

Solution :

If you use a recent version of libgnutls (eg. libgnutls30 on ubuntu 16.04), create a copy, for a version 26 :

sudo ln -s libgnutls.so.30 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.26
sudo ln -s libgnutls.so.30 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.26
