A SKETCH file is a vector graphics file created by Sketch, a vector drawing program for Mac OS X. It contains one or more layers of drawn objects that may include text, shapes, symbols, or images. SKETCH files are saved in the Sketch image format that is only supported by Sketch.
The dat file type is a proprietary format used by Barudan embroidery machines. It is a vector-based format used to store embroidery designs, including stitch patterns, color sequences, and other design elements. The file can be converted to other formats, such as DST, EXP, JEF, and PES, for use in other embroidery software programs and machines.
