If you have a Cricut machine with a scoring tool, you will need to do a little prep work before the designs will score correctly.
1 In Cricut Design Space ungroup all the grouped objects down to the grouped score lines.
2 Select each score line and change their "operation" to SCORE in the options at the top of the project space.
3 Now attach each set of score lines to their respective cutting piece.
4 Check if all score lines are attached correctly by going to "Make". If there is a red mat with only lines on it, this means there are score lines that still need to be attached to their pieces.
This red mat just means that you need to do a little prep work before the designs will score correctly by your Cricut.

Some Scan N Cut users have received the error message "ERRS09" in Canvas Workspace when importing some SVG files. I am working on resolving this issue. The only workaround I know of is to open the SVG file in another application, such as the free vector design program, Inkscape. Then print out each piece of the design and scan them into your Scan N Cut.
