I don't have 6.1 but if you open it and select import you should see a list of file formats
Best card is one that does not have a high chalk content - best to get samples and try (I do not often cut light coloured card as it is a pain).
Best

You can open svg in Inkscape and export to dxf easily

I cut card reasonably regularly, including white and quite detailed.
Charring only really occurs on the back side.
The trick is to get a soft brush and dust the small amount of char off straight away without touching it.
I usually use whatever 200ish gsm card I can find on Amazon Prime but recently discovered these guys
https://wlcoller.co.uk/ lots of nice products at a good price and quick delivery, plus supporting UK businesses rather than tax dodging multinationals is a plus.
