Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I have now found a very quick solution, after opening the svg cut file select all and make a compound path. The lines then turn Studio red.
I sent for the Carnation Crafts Christmas USB. I did not know at the time that there is a family connection between them and Stephanie Whiteman. If I had I would not have ordered it. Anyway while using the USB I found just making the cut file a compound path works. I still have to use the knife to take the outer black square away and separate images if more than one on the pdf. Also the rubber to take away some of the background.
