If you're talking about a GUI tool, no, it's only on Windows.

In your QuadtoneRIP applications folder, you should have a folder called "CurveDesign". Inside that is an application called "Drop-Quad-Profile". If you drag a qidf file onto that file (that's the only way to do it; you can't use File > Open), it should do the right thing.

In that same "CurveDesign" folder, there should be a document called "GettingStarted.rtf". While I wouldn't call it "definitive," it might be helpful for what you're trying to do. There is also "Tutorial.pdf" in the main QTR folder.

I'm pretty sure all those documents came with the standard QTR install. But if they didn't, and I picked them up elsewhere, let me know and I can send them to you.
