DST File Summary

The DST File Extension has five different file types (mostly seen as the AutoCAD Sheet Set File format) and can be opened with nine distinctive software programs, with the dominant related application developed by Autodesk, Inc. (Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad software). Generally, these files are considered CAD Files, but they can also be Game Files or Settings Files.

Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems can be used to view DST files. Both desktop and mobile devices enable you to view and (sometimes) edit these files, depending on the software used. DST files have a "Low" Popularity Rating; this means that they are not present on most devices.

Troubleshooting Problems Opening DST Files


Typical DST Opening Challenges

Missing Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad

You attempt to load your DST file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The DST File Extension". Customarily, this means that Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your DST with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another DST application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a AutoCAD Sheet Set File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a AutoCAD Sheet Set File file version that was created by a newer version of Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your DST file and clicking "Properties".


Primarily, problems experienced when opening DST files are due to having the incorrect version of Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad installed on your computer.


Additional DST Opening Issues

Assuming you have the right Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening DST files. Other DST opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:

  • Invalid DST file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Corruption of the DST file description inside the Registry
  • Corrupt install of Autodesk AutoCAD Ecscad or other DST-related program
  • File corruption affecting your DST file
  • Malware-tainted DST file can't be opened
  • Hardware associated with DST has outdated drivers
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the AutoCAD Sheet Set File format
