I have a graphtec ce 3000-60 and would like to know what would be the best sign program to run this cutter. Any suggestions would help. If any of you have some programs that you are using let me know. I am a Mac user. It is just sitting in my garage just waiting to cut some vinyl.

You can get Cut Plug-Ins for Illustrator, also, Flexi 7.5 and up run on Macs, or if it's a non-intel Mac, you can get Corel 11 for Mac and install the Graphtec as a printer driver and cut from Corel, (i wouldn't try that). Illustrator with Flexi works great.

Probably FlexiSign John. Or Corel. I use several versions of Flexi and the Adobe combo. Check with PeeWee, he's got it down and can help.

You should be able to download Cutting Master direct from Graphtec. It's an Illustrator plug in so you will need that.
You might have to browse around to match up your OX and Illy version.

Often thought about this...I am running Mac OSX on my main computer and have an OS9 machine I use ONLY to run my plotter (signwarehouse software that came with my plotter)...anyone have any recommendations for a plugin (cheap/free/whatever) for CS3 where I could cut directly from my MacBook Pro and skip the OS9 machine? Thanks Scott

Scott, call the tech support from your plotter's brand. Tell them you need an upgrade for Illy CS3. Plug-ins are usually free or cheap. Sometimes old plug-ins work in new programs.
