I can't get add ons to show up under extensions in AI.

either with the extension installer or with the "Creative Cloud" enabled, or with the exman command.

osX sierra

just downloaded the most recent version of AI.

this is my third time test driving AI in the last two years and third time failing.

I wished Corel would come back to Mac!!!

    The Add on I need is Roland Cutstudio.

    The ones I tried to make sure it wasn't the Add on are Page Proof, Avery Templates and EAN13 Barcode Maker.

    None of those have shown in Window>Extensions.

    I Lost count of how many times I Installed and Uninstalled.

    A lot of the add-ons don't work.

    Roland CutStudio AI PlugIn gets terrible reviews.

    It  definitely used to work on illustrator CC2014 and CS6

    If you want to try you would need to install the older version, along side the current one  (though probably not an option if you have only trail version ) then  run extension manager for CC or CS6 respectively

    and try and install it via that.

    And

    Adobe - Exchange : Download the Adobe Extension Manager

    Some of the other free add-ons do work at least on 2015

    Color Tweaker 

    Has a nice random colours feature, if you need every fill, etc different

    WebGL - Contour Tool

    Sections contours on an obj file

    Scripshon Trees

    Easy panel access to scripts

    AlignCap

    Align text to another object according to cap-height

    TimeTracker Basic

    just checking this one out


    Zoomize
