The software does not import svgs, but does import Adobe Illustrator files. Open your SVG in Illustrator and resave it as an .ai file. Then import your file into CoCut Pro.
The software does import svg or ai files. One thing to be careful with svg is to set your document settings to 96 DPI. This way exporting from your editing software then importing to CoCut Pro will maintain actual physical size.

When your graphic is ready to cut, click the File...Cut/Plot menus. This should bring up a couple of new windows. One is the Production Manager. This may show some older, incomplete jobs from failed attempts. Delete those old jobs.
When your graphic is ready to cut, click the File -> Output menu. This will bring up the "Output to device" window.
Things you need to set on this window:
* Make sure "Settings via comm" is turned on via machine settings.TODO: Need to lookup the actual setting name.
* Pressure: Good starting point is 30g or 1oz
* Speed: Good starting point is 10cm/s or 4in/s
* Material Width: Click "Read Material" button. See [[Loading Media]]
* Material Length: Click "Read Material" button. See [[Loading Media]]
* Overcut: Good starting point is 0.25mm or 0.01in
Do Preview your cut because depending on your setting the cut layout is not necessary exactly what you laid out in the svg file. Note also that in the preview you can rearrange the layout, including duplicating, rotating, or removing cuts.
Note:
Note:
The output settings for speed and pressure do not work on our machine you must change these settings on the machine itself.
