You do have to remove the old versions first.

Hi New Here too.

Good news, Cut Studio installed on the latest version of illustartor.

I uninstalled and reinstalled after trying some other stuff and panicking and Cut Studio appeared in the extentions and opened!

I can confirm that today I was able to use Roland Cut Studio plugin for Illustrator 2022 (v25.2.1). Everything is up-to-date and runs well on macOS Monterey 12.2. Version number of Roland CutStudio PlugIn is 3.3.8.

You have to intall the plugin separately from the Adobe Exhange webpage. If using an M1 Mac, you have to run Illustrator under Rosetta mode, to emulate running it with Intel processor. I am using M1 Pro chip and Illustrator runs smoothly both in native M1 mode, and under Rosetta.

Great! it works perfectly. I upgrade Illustrator 2021 to 25.4.1, enters creative cloud, update the Roland plugin and voilà!

In case it have some issue, I will leave installed Illustrator CC2019.

Thanks Anti Von Matterhorn for the advice!

I also need the new Plug-In for Cut Studio used in Illustrator. I had to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 because illustrator upgrades weren't working on Windows 7.

I wish this could be straight forward and easy to fix.

I'm loosing lots of work time trying to figure this out !!!! GRRRR.

Hello Paola, I having an issue with this plug in too.... I install it, but it doesnt recognize the GX24 i´m using. I have to bring back an CC2019 from time machine and it works perfectly. We´ll have to wait for Roland Upgrade.

Plug-ins can only be fixed by the original author, programming skills won't help. This is why, if plug-ins are important to your work, it is so vital to check before upgrading (Illustrator, or your system, or your hardware). And of course to keep old app versions. Any problems from upgrading without checking are inevitable and predictable...

Have the same issue here. 

 

It looks like then you mark up cutting images, then try to open Cut Studio, white screen with preview do not comes up as it should or at it was before. Status is Ready, but no info from machine comes to AI. And if you click Preferences and then Connection it showing Roland GS-24 and then you are not able to choose anything else. It looks like program or plugin is locked on one machine.

 

If you go ...plugin-> cutstudio-> CutstudioOutputX that program finds machine which is connected to computer. 

And you can clearly see in plugin folder that terminal files is only to GS24 machine there.

 

So I do think here is a problem, only thing is that I can not program or do not how to change that plugins files. 

 

If any knows how to I do think it is quick job to fix thing...

I recently bought a Roland GS-24. Here is how I got everything to work on my Macbook Pro. I would have posted this long ago but I just came across this as I was searching for compatability issues with the newest system software update. One of the potential issues is using a MAC that does not have an intel processor. My Macbook Pro was purchased in 2020 and still has one. The Dealer I bought my Roland from and the Roland support staff could not figure out how to make the cutstudio plugin work on the 2021 version of Illustrator. I had to figure this out myself. 

 

Illustrator 2021 will not work with the plug in. You have to use Illustrator 2020. Download Anastasiy’s Extension Mananger. I would have included the link but this site will not let me. Then go to creative cloud and download Illustrator 2020 and then the Roland Cutstudio plugin. I ended up with the plug in on my desktop. Double click it and it will open in Anastasiy’s Extension Manager. After it installs in Illustrator 2021, copy+drag the entire plug in folder for Roland Cutstudio from Illustrator’s plugins folder to your desktop. Then drag it to Illustrator 2020’s plugins folder and it will now work from the drop down menu in illustrator 2020.

 

Hope this helps someone.

The plugin seems to work but you need to not just download the extension from the adobe exchange but also place the plug in files into the plugin folder then relaunch Illustrator. The plug in files in questions is the cutstudio plug in folder from the previous version of illustrator you ran Cutstudio on. That's what resolved it this time around. Every other updated there's one issue or another.
