2020-01-01 13-38-26 PST Erik Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. Some of this is still foreign to me though. I’m sorry to ask but I am getting a bit frustrated by myself doing this. Would you be interested in perhaps connecting with me via video etc and I could show u what I am doing so that I am articulating my problem correctly? 2020-01-01 13-59-51 PST Moini I think this is a topic that others may benefit from, too. Would you be comfortable asking your question in a forum? Inkscape's official one is at https://inkscape.org/forums - it has a section for plotting / cutting, too.
