Inkscape

I have created a drawing in inkscape
its a square border the size of a coaster with a motif in the centre
try as I might I can't get it to load in cut2d or any other software
the square loads ok but not the motif inside
what do I need to change it to and save it as to allow it to open
many thanks

save as dxf
watch this too; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0V-4O9x9Uk

Inscape's native .dxf export isn't very good. Try this one:

Thanks for the info guys
its now working it looked like I hadn't converted the image to a proper vector
after about 3 goes it worked
the DXF worked too but I think it is a bit flakey
cheers
