Using Inkscape with Cutters/Plotters I Can't Select Single Items for Conversion to Gcode

    I'm still struggling with converting SVG files to Gcode.  I gave up on converting DXF files.

    I Open my SVG files, exported from LibreCAD and get pretty much what I got when opening a DXF file.  However, I keep going forward.  The instructions online say to convert the items I want cut on my CNC machine from the SVG to Paths.  I try to select the items I want to convert to Paths but when I click on anything it selects everything in my drawing. 

    I think, "OK, maybe I convert everything to Paths and THEN select only the items I want to be cut."  That doesn't work either.  When I select one item it still selects them all.

    Maybe the trick is to export to SVG ONLY the items I want my CNC to cut.  Is that how it works?  I'll try that and see what happens.
