anyone have the DSTV file format?

I have the standard in PDF format with detailed information. If you can't get it here I can email it to any one. Send me an email at mrsonso@charte.net and request the file I will gladly send it.

Do I have to enter the data in metric even though I am in the USA? I guess my real questions is, do machines used in America have metric or english input files?

Thank You

DSTV is a german standard. All of Europe is in the metric system. I'm not an expert on all CNC machine but if I had to guess I say that any CNC machine that uses DSTV or reads DSTV files directly would have to be metric. I know that most of the mahines I have in our shop convert the DSTV file to be read in the specific machine code.

Thank you for your input. I don't know if this is possible, but is there any way you could send me a drawing and the corresponding DSTV file. The part I am having trouble with is the different axis, and where they start and end. I have been having a heck of a time finding examples. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
