I can confirm that today I was able to use Roland Cut Studio plugin for Illustrator 2022 (v25.2.1). Everything is up-to-date and runs well on macOS Monterey 12.2. Version number of Roland CutStudio PlugIn is 3.3.8.
You have to intall the plugin separately from the Adobe Exhange webpage. If using an M1 Mac, you have to run Illustrator under Rosetta mode, to emulate running it with Intel processor. I am using M1 Pro chip and Illustrator runs smoothly both in native M1 mode, and under Rosetta.
I know it's for Adobe Illustrator. Perhaps you don't understand how plug-ins work. Adobe make Illustrator and tell people how to make plug-ins. Then companies like Roland do the work, and sell it. Adobe can't look at, fix, sell, repair or upgrade plug-ins, and have no power to make anyone else do that either. If Roland decide not to do an upgrade, that is the end of that plug-in/
Look, I sell plug-ins (not for Illustrator) and it drives me crazy when people come to Adobe's forums to ask for help with their problem rather than emailing our team who are ready and waiting to help. In general, though, good practice is to NEVER upgrade your apps until you've checked the status of ALL your key plug-ins. When plug-ins do need updates it can take many months.
purtroppo ho lo stesso problema. Roland ha l'ultimo plugin 3.3.4 che funzionava con Illustrator 2020. Non c' ancora nulla per la versione 2021 e non si pu tornare indietro a questa installazione. Sono giorni che ci provo, ho letto ed installato tutti i suggerimenti / soluzioni che ho trovato anche nel sito di Adobe ma non funziona nulla.
It looks like then you mark up cutting images, then try to open Cut Studio, white screen with preview do not comes up as it should or at it was before. Status is Ready, but no info from machine comes to AI. And if you click Preferences and then Connection it showing Roland GS-24 and then you are not able to choose anything else. It looks like program or plugin is locked on one machine.
I recently bought a Roland GS-24. Here is how I got everything to work on my Macbook Pro. I would have posted this long ago but I just came across this as I was searching for compatability issues with the newest system software update. One of the potential issues is using a MAC that does not have an intel processor. My Macbook Pro was purchased in 2020 and still has one. The Dealer I bought my Roland from and the Roland support staff could not figure out how to make the cutstudio plugin work on the 2021 version of Illustrator. I had to figure this out myself.
The plugin seems to work but you need to not just download the extension from the adobe exchange but also place the plug in files into the plugin folder then relaunch Illustrator. The plug in files in questions is the cutstudio plug in folder from the previous version of illustrator you ran Cutstudio on. That's what resolved it this time around. Every other updated there's one issue or another.
Plug-ins can only be fixed by the original author, programming skills won't help. This is why, if plug-ins are important to your work, it is so vital to check before upgrading (Illustrator, or your system, or your hardware). And of course to keep old app versions. Any problems from upgrading without checking are inevitable and predictable...
Hello Paola, I having an issue with this plug in too.... I install it, but it doesnt recognize the GX24 im using. I have to bring back an CC2019 from time machine and it works perfectly. Well have to wait for Roland Upgrade.
I'm still stuck. I have Adobe Illustrator 2022 and am running Mac OS Monterey. The plug-in is installed on the Creative Cloud/Manage Plug-ins - but I can't get Illustrator to connect. In Windows>Extensions> all I see is "Libraries" no "Roland CutStudio".
Are you force running Illustrator under Rosetta? Did you Install the plugin separately from Adobe Exhange webpage (the link I posted above)? I would recommend to uninstall the current plugin and try to reinstall.
To force run the app in Rosetta mode, navigate to app path, for example Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Illustrator 2022 > Adobe Illustrator 2022.app. Right click > 'Get Info' > choose 'Open using Rosetta'. More detailed instructions here.
It does not import anything in color so so you to work around that with multiple files or color them in Cut Studio. The layout editor leaves a lot to be desired. You can't even turn an object 90 deg. To do perforated cuts you have to cut the object twice.
The picture you show is CutStudio. I just bought a new Roland it only came with CutStudio. No SignCut for me. They just upgraded it to 3.0 which is a little better but not much. I can deal with most of its quirks except I have to separate out the colors before I send to CutStudio because it won't import them. Lame.
versastudio is the name that roland attached to the bn-20 printer - who is feeding you this information? Roland offers the free plug in for corel or AI - they don't even elude to including any other software and that is why there are so many other software out there like FLexi, vinylmaster, etc. When you purchase most cutters the vendors often offer things like lower end of the vinylmaster series, scalp, etc if you want higher functioning software you have to purchase it.
I just checked my usc version fo vinylmaster and it has the roland drivers - the only one I can think of that may not is the titan version - is that the one you have?
As far as using VM. I have VMCut. I have the Roland drivers loaded but VM will not allow me to choose the Roland. This version of VM came with a USCutter. I haven't had time to play with it much. It might cut with the Roland but I could not figure it out very quickly. Besides, I'm going to sell the software when I sell the cutter so there is no point in me using this version of VM. If I am going to use VM I'll buy a new copy. Hince my question, what software do people prefer to use?
I have been with VinylMaster Pro since June of 2014 and extremely happy with it as Plotter/ Cut Software and more than satisfied with its Vector Creation/Modification Tools. A standard issue Pro version (non-US Cutter) of Vm should support as many cutters as you may have and will certainly do perforated cuts (in one pass) and most any plotter related project you can throw at it. Not familiar with 'VersaWorks' but, VinylMaster Pro comes up short on Raster Tools but, in it's defense, it was Designed for Vector-based work. No matter (for me) I use Adobe Photoshop (since the early 90's) for all my Raster work and Inkscape (free vector software) and Adobe Illustrator still get a few chores thrown their way as they has some excellent vector tools as well.
