Hi - I selected the line and did path>stroke to path on the curved lines. When I cut the attached file instead of scoring, it cut out tiny ovals along the curved line. I'm new to inkscape and SCAL, so not sure it I did it correctly. Any help is appreciated.
What I do in the files I create is to make a layer called "Score Lines". Then I provide instructions that say to change the style of the score lines in SCAL to one of the dashed styles. Seems to work OK.

P.S. It would be really nifty if SCAL had a way to detect path styles in the SVG and make them dashed automagically. Even if we had to use a special name or value, I think it'd be useful.
P.P.S. And this goes with my philosophy of making SCAL better at interacting with SVG drawing tools rather than improving SCAL's drawing tools. SCAL will never be as powerful as Inkscape or Illustrator. But it could interpret the files coming in from those programs in much more robust ways.
