* Things look OK at this point, but they are not. You can test this by trying to fill one of the sections with a color. You will quickly find out that these lines are not joined together. There is a thorough explanation of how to fix this given here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN0jkUGdObw.

* We can choose to color code the design for the router. This isn't strictly necessary, as it can be done on the router. In fact, for something this simple, it will be just as easy to do this on the router. If you did want to color code it here, you could download the [[Media:Shaper_Origin_Template.svg|Shaper_Origin_Template.svg]] file and import it into your design. Move it off to the side. We will just be using it for color reference. Then color the different sections accordingly. To be honest, I am having trouble getting this to work correctly :)

In short, you will need to select each set of lines that should be connected, then use the "Edit Paths by Nodes" tool to select the two nodes that occupy the same spots, and then join the selected nodes. This will tie the line segments together to create a distinct shape in Inkscape. You need to do this to turn all of the lines into shapes that can be colored. This will allow the CNC Router to recognize the shapes.
