What is a DST file?
Files with the .DST extension contain source code for sewing and embroidery machines, including operating instructions – when the needle should stop, skip, and pierce the material. These files utilize the Tajma CAM standard, which stands for computer automated manufacturing.
DST files are commonly used by software for designing machine-made embroidery, as well as by sewing machines themselves. The relevant software transforms an uploaded vector graphic into a list of instructions for the machine to follow – it can also often transform other forms of images into vector graphics for the purposes of converting them into embroidery projects.

How to open DST files
If you cannot open the DST file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports DST among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the DST file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the DST format files
The inability to open and operate the DST file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Tajima Embroidery Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a DST file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the DST file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the DST from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the DST format
- The DST file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the DST file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a DST file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the DST file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the DST file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the DST file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.DST) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected DST file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the DST file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. DST) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
