Roland cut studio

Installed Lion 24hrs ago, Ive just gone to use Roland Cut Studio to get a job out, the plugin runs fine in illustrator 5.1 however when you click the cut icon nothing happens, I have emailed Roland, just wondered if anyone had this issue and knows of a work around.

I have another mac but wont be updating to Lion until all the chinks are worked out, I was hoping that these were done with the beta testing, I went to Mac 2 years ago, just now hoping they dont go down microsofts route of releasing products then working out the bugs as they go.

I do appreciate this is a Roland issue as they produce the hardware & software. Just saying is all 🙂

Mac Book Pro, + OS X

Hey guys! I'm using Mac 10.7.4 (lion) and have the Cutstudio plugin and everything for Illustrator so I can cut from my GX-24...

Everything seems to be fine, I clicked the cutstudio window and have all the buttons to send to the printer, when I press "Cut" in the cutstudio plugin, it seems to hold for a second, and then it says "FINISHED" and the roll in the GX-24 moves a fraction but nothing cuts out?

Any ideas?

Check your cabling, maybe try another USB lead etc

I upgraded to Mountain Lion but also to CS6 ... Seems Im back to square one, I believe Roland are working on a new plugin but its not a priority 6 months from what ive read ...

I have CS5 running on another drive so when needed I boot from that....

thanks for the quick reply mate!

I'll have to go and buy another lead then I guess as I don't have any more of that type. The person I bought it off was using the current lead with no issues though, so I'm a bit lost..

It's definitely working as I did the "self test" which cuts out the CAMM1 logo and that was fine.. but It seems like when it's sending the data of the paths from illustrator it either stops and doesnt send it all through or it's just not working (it doesnt give me any kind of error or anything, just comes up saying Finishes).

Just bought a new cable and still having the same problem 😟

it comes up saying "Finisehed" and then a second later the GX-24 feeds the roll forward maybe 10mm at the most

Have you tried deleting and re installing the plugin ? sorry but I always check the basics 1st ...

I had a PC to fix, when I returned it to the customer all was well, they then rang and said their back up drive wasnt working, I collected it all again and spent 4 hrs trying to work out the problem, then as a last resort (normally a 1st resort) I tried a new USB .. all was then well ...

Was the cutter working on a previous version of OSX ?

Once installed you can open the Cut Studio window through Window > Extensions

Sure does... I've been having issues with Ai being slow and crashing with the extension open though 😟

Have emailed support, but can anyone who installs tell me if you have problems using keyboard shortcuts after using the function in the CutStudio window. My computer seems to not like any shortcut that uses CMD+. Works if I switch to another program and back again or use the mouse to select functions.
