  1. Hi, Have just purchased a Graph Tec 6000 plus. As you would expect from a complete newbie I had dozens of questions but managed to find all the answers on this great forum. Well, all except one because I am asking one... I have been cutting jobs of various sizes that have been created in Adobe Illustrator. When cutting them I have been selecting a media size in the drop down print properties of AI that was larger than the job I intended to cut and have been getting along fine with this. I now have to cut a job 585mm wide by 1500mm long and for the life of me I can't work out how to get AI to let me select this media size. The "Custom" Selection is greyed out. So all I can cut in one go is small part of the job. Am running the latest version of AI on a new PC. I typically send to print from AI and then send to the plotter from Graph Tec cutting plotter controller. Have I given enough info above for anybody to understand what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance Richie

    Thanks, what type of file would it be looking for when loading a new job?

    It is also how my laser cutter works. As a printer from AI that opens up the laser controller, I thought it was the "done thing"

    So I have the Graphtec installed a a "printer" on AI. As soon as I send it to print from AI then the supplied cutting plotter controller opens (allowing me to set conditions etc) up and I cut from there. That's what I understood from reading the set up guide etc when first installing the cutter. Has been working a treat for a couple of weeks now - until the big stuff.

    I haven't used it but just opened it up and I can't see a reference to tiles. I did change the custom size to the size I wanted here but still can't select it in AI. I thought there was a plug in for AI that came with the software, tried to install it but still can't see it.
