I've had FlexiSign for decades. And of course they dropped support and newer software for Mac.
Anyone using another software to design and cut from, or better yet, is there software that allows me to design in Illustrator, then send to my cutter. Using Mac OS10.6.8, cutting with a Roland CAMM 1 Pro, model CM300.
To anticipate a suggestion , Roland did not support the CM300 with on cutter plugin to work with Illustrator.
Thanks very much ahead of time for suggestions.
Mick

I've run Graphtec's since 1988 when we cut using Signpost. Eventually Graphtec made their own Illustrator/Corel plug in and I've been using that since it came out.
I do a ton of contour cut decals from thousands of small ones which I set up in sheets to I think my largest was 2' x 14'. Amazingly accurate.
I know that's no help for your Rolands but when it comes time to upgrade, it may be. I've been an all Mac shop since the beginning and my Caldera RIP is running on a mini and my Edge is running on MacImprint.

I too have been Mac based for cutting on my Roland plotter since I started. I've already given this company to Mick, but in case anyone else is interested in a bridge program for cutting from both Illustrator and Corel for either Windows or Mac, check out this software. They offer both subscription and outright buy and they have a demo version. Really nice for tiling large graphics.
