Hey everyone 👋, if that's not totally awesome! - We have broken the +1000 subscriber mark! 🛩

In mid-January I hit the 500 subscriber mark and not even half a year later I can look forward to 1000 subscribers worldwide who are interested in my project and the Autodesk Fusion 360 program. 👏

Is that great? 🤔

I definitely think so! 😬

And as you can see or read, I'm still happy about every single one. 🤩

Thanks also to everyone who has already supported me financially or helped me with troubleshooting, translating or with feedback - a big thank you!!! ❤️️

And when you get a chance, visit my new website or my YouYube channel, on which you will find more and more content in the future. 🏷

Many greetings from Dresden, Germany 🇩🇪

⛓ The new upcoming setup wizard based on Python is going to look really good in the future!

The light at the end of the corridor is approaching and soon the new installation assistant will shine in a completely new light. 🪔

This video gives you a little insight:

⚠️ But remember, there are still many changes to come and new features will be added to make installing and managing multiple Autodesk Fusion 360 boxes on Linux easier! ⚠️

🐍 The Setup Wizard will be switched to Python soon!

It's almost that time again ...

I will switch my setup wizard to Python so that configuring and installing Autodesk Fusion 360 is even easier in the future. 🪄

Because when using Zenity and Yad, there were always a wide variety of errors that I cannot accept! ⛔️

But you have to be patient a little longer, as this will take a little time. ⏰

📢 README files updated and documentation improved! 📢

You've probably wondered why I haven't published a lot of videos or posts lately. Yes, on the one hand it's because I'm very busy at work at the moment and on the other hand because I've made a lot of changes to the Setup Wizard, README files and the documentation! 🛠

However, some construction sites are still open and please forgive me if I don't have everything working properly. ❤️

Regarding my setup wizard, there will be instructions for installing Autodesk Fusion 360 in the documentation in the future. This gives you the option of installing the program without the Setup Wizard. This allows temporary errors in my scripts to be bypassed. 🐞

The following changes have already been implemented:

• Setup Wizard is now rendered with YAD and no longer with Zenity
• README files revised and more languages added
• Documentation will be simplified for the future
• ...

🚨🚨🚨 Fatal bug with the new Autodesk Fusion Installer EXE! 🚨🚨🚨

At the moment an installation of Autodesk Fusion 360 under Linux is apparently no longer possible because something has changed in the original Autodesk Fusion 360 Installer (EXE), which is causing the installation to fail!

You will find more information about this bug here in the future: #232

The bug has been fixed*: #232 (comment)

🚏 Easy3DLauncher - Development Phase!

You may be wondering what I do all the time? 🔍

Well, I'm currently working on my own application for Linux that allows you to call up certain functions of Autodesk Fusion 360 or FreeCAD even without a special mouse! ⚗️ 🔭 🔬

You will also get other useful functions and the Easy3DLauncher program will be built into my speech-assistant later, so that certain functions can be used there. 💬

Well, you see, I'm not just sitting lazily on the bench! 🏖

Autodesk Fusion 360 does not work on Wine version 7.3! ⚠️

Many of you always have the problem that Autodesk Fusion 360 may not work on the system after installation!

For this reason, I would like to point out again that you please look at this table from time to time, as it shows which Wine versions are supported or which cause problems.

Because Wine Version 7.3 contains its own bugs that lead to serious errors!

So please look in the terminal with the command:

 wine --version

... according to which version you are using!

There is already a solution to the problem...

You can either use version 7.2 or use the newer version 7.4 released this week.

Because with the Vserion 7.4 these bugs were fixed and some patches were installed!

Auto-Update Function has been updated! 🚨

I made some changes to the auto-update function again today! 💡

This means that from now on the build version number of Autodesk Fusion 360 on the system will be compared to my database! 🗃

This reduces problems and allows the use of insider and production builds. ⚗️ 🔭 🔬

But you have to delete the update-config.txt file in the $HOME/.config/fusion-360/bin folder and update the launcher.sh file as well! 🚫

Otherwise you will not receive the update. 👎

KeyShot 10.2 works on Linux & Plugin will be tested soon! 📯

I got it today that the KeyShot 10.2 program for Solid Edge 2022 works under Linux and will now check the whole thing with Autodesk Fusion 360 as well!

I have already carried out the first tests and the rendering, as well as the editing of projects in it, works.

I also published a new project for this program here on GitHub!

Warning! Minor Update 1.7.7!!! 📢

I've made some changes to the setup wizard over the last few days and weeks, and also added some files! 📥

And for that reason, it's important that you take a look at what's changed:

• Auto-Update function

• All personal and Autodesk Fusion 360 files are moved to "/$HOME/.config/fusion-360/..."*

• All new installations of Autodesk Fusion 360 automatically run in a kind of sandbox!

• Xterm has been removed!

• Autodesk Fusion 360 can be removed via a separate file (uninstall.sh)!

• ...

A video about all the changes and innovations can you see on my YouTube channel:

*Notice: For everything to work properly, I recommend a clean install! It is best to remove the old Wineprefix and back up all data beforehand.
