I am developing digital svg files for download for Cricut Design Space users. The fact is that when customers import files into the Cricut, the images appear extra spots and stripes. What can be the reason? I use CorelDrawX7 to create these svg files. is there a setting that will correct the situation so that the image remains clean at boot time? Any help will be appreciated.

Maybe post a link to a sample file displaying some of the problems. I don't have the Design Space software, but might spot something obvious, or others here may. Spots and stripes is a bit vague. You should make sure you have not introduced raster elements into your svg, like filter effects. A link to the corresponding cdr file would help to.
If you don't have dropbox or google drive or something, http://svgur.com takes svg files and lets you get a link. It doesn't have to be a sample your don't want to share, just something with the problem(s) displayed.
Thank you very much for your response! I attach two images-what was the file originally (link), and how it was displayed when loading in Cricut. What is the cause of unnecessary items to me very strange.

Diana, I worked with this awhile, using a newly created Design Space account. Long story short, Design space is very sensitive to any extra nodes, overlapping paths and probably subpath directions. I could given a large amount of time, and likely fix all the anomalies. This would involve breaking the curve apart. Welding some things, path operations, deleting extra nodes and more seek, fix and retries than I really have the heart for.
If you export as png, import that into Design Space, it seems to automatically try to autotrace raster images like png. I would try that first and see if it is enough. Your design should do well enough autotraced. If that isn't enough, I can relook at it for you.
Well, thank you very much for informing me! Must be best in this situation is to use a file format of PNG. I will recommend my clients to do just that. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!
PNG is HORRIBLE. It is just a compromise I am suggesting to avoid tedious reworking of the file you already have.
