xpfguy 39 Posted March 4, 2010 What is uni-convertor and do i need it? I just hooked up my first cutter, the Graphtec ce500-60 and I can't get it to work. mac mini with snow leopard. What seems odd (remember I don't know anything about any of this) is the Cutting Master 2 1.60 that came with the cutter won't open any files; .ps or .esp or .pov ect.. I don't know what to do. They are not highlighted/selectable When I try to do the test cut, the cutter says "HP-GL Error 1" Help, I want to cut something.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 4, 2010 Cutting Master 2 is a plug in for Adobe Illustrator or corel Draw - you would need one of those to use it. go to Graphtec america site and download robo master and I think that will let you cut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpfguy 39 Posted March 4, 2010 I downloaded Illustrator cs4 trial. I managed to send a file through the plug in to cutting master. the plotter just goes, rrrrruuuummmm. ok that was dumb but it just sounds like a fan fires up for about 2 seconds, then nothing.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 4, 2010 I really can't offer more than that as I use flexi - never played with the plug in or robomaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpfguy 39 Posted March 4, 2010 well, trial and error pays off. I changed the plotter command to gp-gl instead of hp-gl and it's cutting. me so happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
