Hi, folks. I’ve managed to export a simple outline as an SVG file for cutting on Shaper Origin, but it was possible to make cuts only on the line, no inside or outside cuts were possible since I couldn’t add colour to the sketch and the machine wouldn’t let me change the cut type on the fly. Am I missing something? Is there a way how to add colour to a sketch for export as an SVG? Or, does somebody know a workaround that can be implemented on the machine itself before cutting?
