Even using shapes the Cricut will decide where to put them on the cutting mat which can make a mess of things hence the rep's mention of the attach function. These lines might be problematic as the Cricut will automatically rearrange "objects" into the most efficient form for the machine to cut them out.it wants to help you conserve materials. Your artwork looks like it is a series of individual lines (which is verified by the gray column on the right side of the DS software). I think the key word is "shapes". The Cricut likes to cut out outlines of a shape.

Looking at your artwork in the upper left corner of your post I have cut shapes like that many, many times without problems. A purely NON TECHNICAL approach based on the problems I have had.
