Cindy,
Both DST and EXP files are considered "stitch formats" as opposed to "Outline
formats" such as OFM and CND files. Any file you load into Design Shop that is
not recognized as a Melco outline format will be indicated on the screen as an
EXP or "expanded" file. The information should be the same with respect to
stitch coordinates and color change commands. However, if what Juli says is
true, then you may not see dedicated trim commands in the file where you would
see them in the "true" EXP file. The reason for this is that a Tajima machine
will be able to derive it's trims from settings in the machine rather than in
the file itself. A true Melco system will have both trim commands in the file
and trim settings in the machine as well.
In short, when you start mixing and matching different parts of a system that
are from different origins, you will get what you get. It's not to say things
can't work out right, simply more that you will have to rise to the challenge
and learn what you need to from various sources until you become the expert
with your scenario.
Looking at your original post, what specifically is your issue with the DST
file looking like an EXP file in Design Shop. Is something not working
correctly... say, as Juli said, with trim commands missing???
