Tick the SVG box in the main cutlist window and the SVG images will be saved to the same location as the model is saved. Then just open the images. If you use Firefox, I think there's a plugin to allow it to open SVG images. I think Safari will open them directly. You can also open them in Photoshop and many other image editors.
I don't use the layout portion of CutList often but when I do, it is usually to share with someone else. For those, I convert them to PNGs so they are more easily viewed.
