Pulsonix

What works

Full install Pulsonix 11, License Manager.

Pulsonix 11 Viewer (no editing, no saving) works without license

License Manager Option: Network-Licensing to a remote PC

Pulsonix 11:

Schematics Design without any issues except some graphical glitches: if you have issues when scrolling or selecting, go to options -> Hardware Acceleration Low, Decluttering High.

PCB Design with minor graphical glitches, same as Schematics design.

Electrical Rules Check

Design Rules Check

Output -> Reports

Output -> Reports Maker

Output -> PDF, Gerber (checked gerber vs windows generated gerber on a 6-layer 3.000 pin design)

What does not

Sometimes crashes when Opening Drop-Down menus (In my case File -> Open)

Many Icons are not shown at all (blank white page) or shown incomplete

Workarounds

using hot-keys instead of drop down menus (which is recommended to speed up working anyway)

What was not tested

Maaaany things... 

License Manager: Node-Locked (very likely issues with USB key device under linux)

Pulsonix: Auto Router, Auto Placer, detailed 3D Features, just too much stuff to check.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Unknown
• Driver: unknown

Additional Comments

Tested on 2 different machines. One i7-7500U with internal graphics, one 5600H APU. Both had same performance and workarounds. On the 7500U performance on Wine is better than in windows 10 while the latter may be a little bloated.
