Fusion 360 in VMware-player virtual machine

  • Be sure to have a NVIDIA graphics card with opengl support
  • Install VMware-player
  • Be sure to give the installed virtual machine (Windows) enough RAM from the graphics card (recommended 1GB)
  • start vmware-player with
export DRI_PRIME=1; /usr/bin/vmplayer /path/to/virtualmachine_name.vmx

Or if you installed VIX (vmrun):

export DRI_PRIME=1; vmrun -T player start  /path/to/virtualmachine_name.vmx

I tested this with a Intel XEON system (integrated intel graphic). I added a simple NVIDIA GT 610 (2GB RAM, passive cooled, costs around 40 €).

GPU path through is NOT possible with this setup. Only VMware-ESXI or -Workstation - which are not free - have this feature. Another Option would be KVM an use GPU paththrough (not tested). But since I am using Virtualbox for other virtualmachines this is a problem: KVM/quemu and virtualbox can not run side by side. But VMware and VirtualBox can!
