Dakar 0 Posted September 26, 2011 Hi all, My goal is to be able to contour cut, and kiss cut. I am looking to see what software is needed in order to contour cut on the graphtec CE5000. I am a hobbiest, so it needs to be a budget friendly solution. I am currently using flexiStarter 8 on Mac(maybe I can do it with this and just don't know?). I design everything in illustrator and just use flexi to cut. Thanks, Dakar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't that be used on MAC? there are videos on youtube.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll check it out. I just always used Flexistarter. I'll post up if I figure it out using cm2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Openco 0 Posted October 13, 2011 I have the same set up - Graphtec/MAC. I use Inkscape to design (free) and SignCut Pro to cut. I spent all day yesterday with Graphtec support (no help there) and found out that the CutMaster2 software is a PLUGIN for AI or COREL. It is not a stand alone program and is not compatible with Inkscape. The technician said that if I would buy AI or Corel, then he would help me... Have you had any luck since you posted this?

Dakar 0 Posted October 19, 2011 I have not really had time to look into it. I installed the plug-in on illy and tried to contour cut, but it said error on my cutter. I have not tried cutting from the plug-in since. I will post up if I figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
