Using Inkscape with Cutters/Plotters Transparent Boxes Showing Up Black Filled in Cricut

    I'm new to Inkscape. My goal is to create an SVG file that can be uploaded into cutting machine software such as Cricut.

    I have transparent rectangles in my design. Some of the transparent designs have text inside of them.

    When I upload the completed design into the cutting machine software, the transparent rectangles are black-filled.

    I have used "help" and searched the topics here as well as Googled away to no avail. 

    How can I fix this? Any help is very much appreciated!
    I have attached a photo of the file uploaded into Cricut with the black boxes filled like I don't want.

    Thank you.

    By transparent, I'll assume you mean no fill color and a dark stroke. If this is the case, I'd use menu: Path>Stroke-to-path on all rectangles (you can select all and use the operation).

    If this is not the solution you seek, please share an example Inkscape SVG file.
