DSX files are created on the client (that is the same machine you are running the Designer on) in any location you choose to give to the export dialog.

If you create a DSX file by running the dsexport.exe command, again you specify where you want to create the file on the local (must be Windows) system.

The standard format is proprietary. However there is also an option to DSX export from the Designer where you can ask for an XML-formatted file to be produced.

As noted, in a proprietary "dsx" format. However, open it up as a text file and take a look at it, the format is very straight-forward and fairly easy to digest.
