๐Ÿ—’ What is Autodesk Fusion 360?

Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing that offers an affordable, powerful alternative to other well-known solutions on the market. โš—๏ธ ๐Ÿ”ญ ๐Ÿ”ฌ ๐Ÿ”ฉ ๐Ÿ› 

โš ๏ธ But the problem is that it usually only works on systems that have Windows or macOS installed as the operating system. โš ๏ธ

โ›”๏ธ However, I do not use either of these two operating systems on my devices! โ›”๏ธ

๐Ÿง I'm using a Linux distribution such as openSUSE Tumbleweed and needed a solution to this problem. ๐Ÿง

๐Ÿ” I started looking at different tools, testing different approaches and ideas until I chose Wine. ๐Ÿ”

๐Ÿท Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. ๐Ÿท

๐Ÿช„ And so, with this nice tool, we no longer need two operating systems for Fusion 360 if you or I want to create an awesome project in the future. ๐Ÿช„

๐Ÿ’ก Is this a good idea for the future of Autodesk Fusion 360? ๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿš€ I personally like this idea and for that reason I will do my best to give you the possibility to use it on Linux too! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ“‹ What can you do with Autodesk Fusion 360?

Features Description of the feature
3D design and modeling Engineer products with a comprehensive set of modeling tools. Ensure your products' form, fit, and function with diverse analysis methods.
Sketching Create and edit sketches with sketch constraints, dimensions, and a powerful suite of sketch tools.
Direct modeling Edit or repair imported geometry from non-native file formats. Make design changes without worrying about time-based features.
Surface modeling Create and edit complex parametric surfaces for repairing, patching, or designing geometry.
Parametric modeling Create history-based features, including extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, etc., that update with design changes.
Mesh modeling Edit and repair imported scans or mesh models, including STL and OBJ files.
Freeform modeling Create complex sub-divisional surfaces with T-splines and edit them with intuitive push-pull gestures.
Rendering Create photo-realistic images of your model, leveraging local or cloud rendering.
PCB design integration Synchronize bi-directional changes from your electronics designs seamlessly with Autodesk EAGLE interoperability.
Sheet metal Design sheet metal part components. Document flat patterns using 2D drawings and DXFs. Manufacture your designs with cutting strategies for water jet, laser, and plasma machines.
Assemblies Assemble designs with a traditional bottom-up, middle-out, or top-down approach, and analyze assembly motion.

๐Ÿงฉ And would you like to use extra functions or languages as like the Czech language later in Autodesk Fusion 360, then you need a special extension what you must have bought and downloaded before you can install this with my Setup Wizard! ๐Ÿงฉ


โš™๏ธ Getting Started

๐Ÿ”น Check my GitHub-Documentation & Videos before you install Autodesk Fusion 360 on your system!
๐Ÿ”น Check, if your network settings are correctly configured!
๐Ÿ”น Check, if your system meets all requirements!
๐Ÿ”น You need an active Fusion 360 license!

๐Ÿ”น Open a terminal and run this command to install the basic Autodesk Fusion:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/main/files/setup/autodesk_fusion_installer_x86-64.sh -o "autodesk_fusion_installer_x86-64.sh" && chmod +x autodesk_fusion_installer_x86-64.sh && ./autodesk_fusion_installer_x86-64.sh --install --default

๐Ÿ”น Open a terminal and run this command to install Autodesk Fusion will all tested extensions:

For the SSO-Login bug use this Workaround: #460 (comment)

๐Ÿ”น Now, You can use Autodesk Fusion 360 on your Linux system!

๐Ÿ“– Which script releases are available?

There are some script releases available, built from the release targets. It's recommended that if you're new you start with the stable builds. Development builds are available here if you need it, but correspondingly may be less stable. In the development branch you will find, for example, the upcoming versions of my setup wizard, as well as builds that run with the help of Flatpak or Docker/Podman.
