Roland egx 30

[RedBull17]

i recently got a Roland EGX 30 desktop engraver i got the drivers installed and R Wear Studio installed the problem is that when i go to engrave nothing shows up

Can someone please help

[Kai Perry]

Does the engraver show up under devices and printers? or does it show as an other or unknow device in device manager?

It could be that the driver is not correctly installed.

[RedBull17]

yes it shows up under device management i used the latest driver on Roland's website i want to use R Wear Studio because it is compatible with illustrator and PDF documents it will print but wont engrave

[Kai Perry]

Have you tried engraving through Dr. Engrave?

[RedBull17]

It works with dr engrave but dr engrave is not compatible with illustrator and PDFs

[Kai Perry]

Have a look at the Vectric software CUT 2D, this would be the best software for the machine, R-Wear hasn't been updated since 2012 so it won't support new PDF's.

Yes www.vectric.com are fully compatible with Roland machines, plus they import - DWG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF, SVG
Image File Imports include - BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF with nice vectorising to create vectors for machining. This cuts out vectorising in Illustrator, plus as it is for machining, it optimises the paths.
The biggest bonus, apart from the free trail version and shed loads of tutorials, is the price.....
