Description
DSB is a proprietary embroidery file format used by Barudan embroidery machines. It is a digitized, vector-based format used to store and transfer embroidery designs to and from a machine. It can also be used for editing and viewing designs.
A SHV file is a design file used by Husqvarna Viking Designer embroidery machines. It contains an embroidery design, which includes information about stitches, colors, and other design elements. It is used to transfer a design to a machine's memory and create an embroidered object.

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.
