Alexandre, this is not the answer we are looking for.

Roland Versaworks uses a spot color called CutContour, which is 100% Magenta (CMYK= 0,100,0,0)
This color is applied to a stroke with a "hairline" stroke width. The cutter recognizes this as the cut line.

You can create a swatch with the name of CutContour and the value RGB=255,0,255 or ff00ffff. You must do this manually using an XML or text editor to edit an existing pallet in the Inkscape pallets folder, or you can create a new one based on existing ones.

I'm not yet certain that this works with the Roland Versaworks software, but it should. I need to test this myself. Usually I import things into Corel Draw to do this.

I hope this helps!

Don, I posted this 6 years ago, way before you arrived to this page. How am I supposed to have had given you an answer you were looking for? :)

If you test your hypothesis, by all means, please share it with others. Together we'll figure something out.
