Autodesk Fusion 360

What works

Everything basically

What does not

-Splash image doesn't show, (but it's not something that matters)

-Workspace bar (model bar) sometimes stays in top of other windows when you use other applications

-Workspace bar (model bar) stays hidden when the app is minimized and then maximized

Workarounds

Some workarounds needed for installation:

-Install PiP
apt install python-pip

-Install Uncompyle
cd /opt/
wget https://files.pythonhosted.org...
tar xvfz uncompyle6-3.2.5.tar.gz
cd uncompyle6-3.2.5
pip install -e .
python setup.py install
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/uncompyle6-3.2.5/bin"

-Create a new wine win64 prefix
WINEPREFIX=/home/USER/.Nameof64BitWinePrefix winecfg

-Install wine gecko
https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

-Install all libraries needed with winetricks
winetricks atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2017 ie8 corefonts fontsmooth=rgb winhttp

-Open winecfg and change Win Version to Win 7 on Applications Tab.

-Open winecfg and add d3d11 as disabled on Libraries Tab, or edit it to disabled if is allready on the list (Please check first if it's on the list).

-Create a new text file and paste inside the bash at the end of these instructions, save as FusionPatch.sh on your home directory, (updated versions can be found on https://github.com/siredmar/winepatchfusion360installer)

-Open a terminal window and execute the bash file
./FusionPatch.sh

-It will show the path to the new patched installer (i.e.:/tmp/fusion360/tmp.m2D1x00yWE)

-Navigate to that folder and execute the Streamer.exe file in your prefix
WINEPREFIX=~/.Nameof64BitWinePrefix wine /tmp/fusion360/tmp.m2D1x00yWE/streamer.exe

-The installation should start, but no progress is gonna be shown, this is normal, you can wait arround 20 min for it to complete.

-Open winecfg and add d3d11 as native on Libraries Tab, or edit it to native if is allready on the list (Please check first if it's on the list).

-Open Fusion360 from /drive_c/users/USER/Local Settings/Application Data/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/6a0c9611291d45bb9226980209917c3d/FusionLauncher.exe

-Once opened, go to your account / preferences / general / graphics driver / and select directx9

-Bash file:

#!/bin/bash
# This script downloads the Fusion360 Installer and patches it to be able to install it with wine
