Cheryl,
When I have my designs done by someone else I have them sent in .dst. This
format saves any fill paterns, setting, etc, so that it will sew exactly as the
digitizer set ut up. Unless your digitizer is using Design Shop you would
probably want either .exp or .dst. If your digitizer uses Design Shop ask for
it in .ofm.
As far as converting to wireframe goes. When a file is in .exp or .dst it will
hold all the values put in the original design by the digitizer. When you
convert to wireframe the software is trying to convert the original data as
close as it can but Design Shop may not be able to decipher the exact setting
since the design was created in a different software which will make some
things come out different.
Sorry I am not real good at putting thought onto paper. I am sure Ed or Jeff
or someone will chime in to give a cleareer explaination :)

This may seem like a silly question, but I am wondering since I send most of
my digitizing out to someone overseas due to price constraints, what format
should I be asking for: Melco condensed (.cnd) or Melco expanded (.exp)? What
is the difference and why do the files change stitch count etc when I switch to
wireframe? Thanks for the time.
