I’ve worked my way around the problem. Not as I recall doing it in the past. Then again, I don’t recall what I had for lunch yesterday. I made each color a separate layer in the design in Inkscape and then ‘grouped’ them together. That led to another problem. The color lines are very narrow and right along each other. The image in the box (for setting power, speed, etc.) were so low res that I couldn’t tell which was which. I had to go all the way back to Photoshop and place a maker in each corner to represent the color. i.e., top left = blue, top right = green, etc…
I can’t run a test yet because cutting acrylic smells so strong I vent directly to outside, and it’s raining too hard to open my windows.
