I was trying to clear my desk and get caught up with my e-mails and found this thread today. I do have many GSD files that I have converted from inkscape generated files. If you are a new user of inkscape there are some folks who do not convert the files correctly, and have not correctly generated the vector paths, so the files will cut correctly. Also we have had problems if they have been grouped, as well as files that have not been simplified enough, as the cutters have a tendency to freeze up due to buffer sizes for them. Simplifying the paths has solved the problems for them.
If Cindy will contact me offline, I would be happy to steer her to some Cutter user groups, where GSD files are shared, and some great tutorials on using inkscape for the cutters, and I can check out her problematic GSD files and see if I can cut them on my Wishblade machine, or my KNK Machine if saved as a EPS with bounding box. (GSD files that have been created in inkscape, cannot be opened by the KNK software, but GSD files that were generated by AI can be opened).
