Using Inkscape with Cutters/Plotters Need help with DXF files - Cricut

    Hello, 

    I am trying to sell designs that people will cut out in cricut or silhouette, but I'm stuck.

    In Inkscape, I use Inkscape svg files of designs and save them as dxf files.

    When I open my dxf files in cricut, they have overlapping lines. I'm a beginner, but from what I read, there aren't supposed to be any overlapping lines in dxf files that are going to be cut out in programs like cricut or silhouette. 

    Am I correct about this? How should dxf files look? What can I do to the svg files before saving them as dxf to ensure they will come out correctly in cricut?

    Also, if I have text in other designs, how should they look and what settings should I apply when I save the svg files to dxf?

    Thank you
