I would really like to hear what Glowforge support team and the community think. People should be able to operate the machine even without an internet connection. If not a for a local solution just yet then at least to integrate the web-based page within a plugin for the time being, and further on to update it to be a local solution as I think it’s a must. I trust that Glowforge development team could come up with such plugin too. Silhouette DOES have a new Beta version of the Connect Plugin available, and it does seem to correct this issue.
The Silhouette Connect plugin for example calls an external window to operate the Silhouette machines. And besides, in my opinion I think that such expensive machine should at least have a plugin for a powerful application like Adobe Illustrator. I for one think that everyone will appreciate such local solution which will make everything much more simpler, as users won’t even need to save SVG files and to drag/copy them to the web page, but to send the project for cutting directly from within Illustrator. This plugin allows you to send a design to your machine to cut directly from Illustrator (or Corel), without having to open your Silhouette Studio software. Silhouette Cameo, Curio, Portrait or Mint and Glowforge Love I’ve read these threads but haven’t found anyone asking about / suggesting a local plugin for Adobe Illustrator:
