What is CDD file?
A CDD file is a proprietary document format created by ConceptDraw PRO, a vector-based drawing software used for creating professional-looking diagrams, flowcharts and presentations with pre-designed illustrations, templates and objects. The files typically contain vector or bitmap graphics as well as text elements, animation, object and bitmap data. Format Description The CDD file type is composed of a hierarchy of nodes that contain various components of the document. [ ⏩ ] CDD file extension
What is VDX file?
The VDX file extension primarily functions as a vector graphics file. Developed by Microsoft Visio, the VDX file is saved in a binary format that contains vector graphics, text, and other components of the drawings and diagrams created with Visio. It is encoded in an XML structure, making it readable by multiple applications and with the ability to store data in it. The original Visio vector graphic format was VSD, and the VDX format was introduced with Visio 2003 as an alternative. [ ⏩ ] VDX file extension
How to convert the file from CDD to VDX?
To successfully convert the CDD file to VDX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CDD). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VDX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than VDX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CDD to VDX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CDD files to VDX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VDX, while before this step we had the CDD file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VDX file, or not.
