Installing Fusion 360 using the command line only

October 8, 2014May 7, 2017 Luke Johnson

Open an elevated command prompt (Start – type cmd – right click Run as Administrator)
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command “iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString(‘https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1’))” && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%chocolateybin
choco install autodesk-fusion360
It will be installed somewhere like this:
“C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalAutodeskwebdeployproduction4b49a77e39afe2cab455d9514bab154658321859Fusion360.exe”
If any problems (missing shortcuts etc), you can go here and directly re-run the installer:
“C:Chocolateylibautodesk-fusion360.2.0.1149toolsautodesk-fusion360.exe”
Upon opening, it should login to your Autodesk account and give you access to your files on Autodesk 360

You might also try
choco install CADConverter(to easily convert DWG to PDF and more)
or
choco install freecad

You can access and join the tech preview here
Login with your Autodesk account
Accept terms and conditions (notice that Fusion is mentioned here…)
Go to your email and click on the confirmation link
You will also get an email with a myhub link
Create a Project
Click Upload
If the file is something that Autodesk 360 Viewer can handle, just go to Data and then click on the uploaded files thumbnail – the viewer should load

I tried uploading a Revit file and it was very smooth to navigate. You can click on the toolbar at the bottom and show model structure (3 squares in a tree view), or click on the gears and turn on the ViewCube.
