What it is

CND appears to refer to condensed or object-style embroidery data rather than only final needle points, but the exact ecosystem is unverified here.

Satin Studio direction

Research lead only.

Versions and variants

This entry is tracked as a format lead, but Satin Studio does not yet have a public version or dialect matrix for it. Real sample files with machine/software provenance are needed before support can be planned safely.

File identification notes

Unknown.

Observed structure notes

• No reliable byte-level CND record layout is established here.
• Treat CND as a condensed/native-design lead until a signature, header, object table, and stitch extraction path are verified.

Structure sketch

CND is not documented enough for a real parser. Model it as opaque condensed/object data until files prove the container.

struct CndCandidate<'a> {
    // No trusted signature, header, or object table is documented here.
    raw: &'a [u8],
}

What we still need

Real sample files and ecosystem confirmation.
