If you’re into embroidery, you’re probably familiar with DST files. DST files are a type of machine file that contains instructions for an embroidery machine to stitch out a design. However, before you can stitch out your design, you need to bring the DST file into your embroidery software program. In this guide, we’ll show you how to properly open a DST file in Embroidery Studio A 4.0.
First, open the Embroidery Studio A 4.0 program. Once you’re in the program, navigate to the file drop menu. From there, select “Open.” You’ll then need to choose the DST file you want to open.
Before you open the file, you’ll want to make sure that your program settings are correct. Click on “Options” and make sure that “Objects and Outlines” are selected. Additionally, make sure that “Auto Connectors” are checked. These features will make it easier for you to edit your DST file later on.
Once you’ve made these changes, click “OK.” You can now open your DST file. When the file opens, you should be able to see the objects in your color object list. With the outlines and auto connectors turned on, you’ll be able to edit most of the objects in the file. However, you won’t be able to edit the manual stitches.
If you want to verify that you have the correct grade of design loaded, you can navigate to “Design Properties” and check the grade of the design. If you open the DST file without the correct options selected, the grade will be lower and the file will be more difficult to edit.
In summary, opening a DST file in Embroidery Studio A 4.0 is a simple process. By following these steps, you’ll be able to bring your DST file into the program and start editing it right away. Happy stitching!
