 In DraftSight, set up layers for each color.  I typically set up "InnerCut", "Etch", and "OuterCut" layers.
-InnerCut: (BLACK) The first cuts you want to do.  screw holes, etc.  Things that don't matter if the _inside_ of the area cut is no longer aligned (if the inside falls at an angle)

 I was able to print fairly easily/well by creating the object in DraftSight, then exporting via "R2000-2002 ASCII Drawing (*.dxf)".
