CE-3000 60 problems

So I bought this after some debate. Hooked it up to my mac,, re-installed Illustrator 10 (I heard the Cutting Master software won't work with CS2) and installed the driver. brought up a file, Cutting Master, settings, update preview, an dhit (I cant remember, but the thing that most resembled "cut" or "send". The cutters light flashed a few times, the motor whirred for two seconds, and nothing. I am perplexed. I have tried version 8, and 10 of illustrator. First version 8 said USB error.

Killing me. i have heard people say this plug in is a dream. Anyone teach me how to get it going?

 

Talked to the tech gut at graphtec, said I have to reconfigure the cutter by going into the menus. I'll try when i get home. In the meantime, I was looking on ebay and saw FlexiStarter Desay Edition. AT $99 it is a cheap alternative to any other Flexi. I do ALL of my designing in Illustrator, and only need a program to cut from. Anyone have any thoughts on this software? I use Flexi Pro at work all day, so I would be comfortable with it, I just dont need all the bells and whistles.

 

Hey Neal, it's Richard @ Disney. Just spoke with you a few days ago about the plug in (at least I'm assuming this is the Neal at Graphtec.) As you can see 'm into some issues. I did find the CS2 update last night after posting.

Hopefully I can work this out.

 

Update:

I changed the plotters setting from"HP-GL" to "GP-GL", and everything is perfect. The plug in is VERY basic, but does the trick. Anyone know how to cut multiples? I don't see a quantity box in the menus. Do I just lay out say "x" amount of what I'm cutting in illustrator and that's it?

Other than that, very happy (and relieved) it's up and running.
