Description
A CMX 3 file is a vector drawing exported by CorelDRAW 2017 or later, in a newer binary layout than the classic RIFF-based CMX exchange format.
u01 files are data files created by Barudan embroidery machines and software. These files store information about the design and stitching for a given embroidery job. They are used to transfer embroidery designs between machines and software, and are typically used in commercial embroidery operations.

What a conversion keeps

Stitches
Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours
Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops
Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering
Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
