Juli,
Do you find using CND format any help when taking apart a design not in OFM?
I'm not sure what machine uses CND but some people request that format. Any
thoughts?

I use DS all the time to convert, disassemble and take apart dst files. First
you wireframe it. You don't have to do the whole design if you don't want to.
Sometimes I just want to fix one small (or large) part. Then the trick is to
delete all the run stitches and underlay and put together all the reasonable
parts. For instance, a flower petal: after deleting all run stitches and
underlays (which usually end up as run stitches or columns), you then combine
all the remaining parts of the one petal into one part. Now you can assign
underlay, comp , the in and out points, etc.
Once you get rid of all the unnecessary parts and do the combines on each
reasonable area (each leaf separately, each petal separately, the center of the
flower separately, just like you would be doing it when digitizing from
scratch) you end up with a design that looks like you digitized it by hand.
But now it is all in ofm and you can manipulate each and every piece and
control everything.
My friend who has a 6 head and uses dst files is sending her files to me to
"fix". Some of them are so screwed up, it is just pathetic! She had one
simple design of a 2 color outline design of a flower and leaves. But when she
sewed it out, it looked way too skimpy. I did my magic on it, made the run
stitches into a 3 bean and lengthened the stitch length and it not only sews
well, but looks much better. And I could, at the same time, make the whole
design bigger or smaller. Can't do that well if it is still in dst. I save my
final version in ofm so I can manipulate it later if I wanted, and also save it
in dst and sent to her.
