I'm new to SCAL, but I would love to be able to break a multicolor design apart and then save each as a separate file . That way I could cut each from different colors and not waste material when both parts cut but only one is needed.

This can be cone already.. If you search through youtube you will find how to do that there.. or go to the tutorials homepage here and it will point you in the right direction..

A simpler option would be to put each color on its own layer in the same file, then just hide the layers that you don't want to cut. This saves you from having to open each file separately and also will prevent sizing hassles if you want it a different size later.
