About CDD files
The .cdd extension is shared by three distinct file formats, creating frequent compatibility confusion.
- ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Document: Created by ConceptDraw DIAGRAM (formerly ConceptDraw PRO), these are proprietary vector drawings used for flowcharts, mind maps, and technical schematics. The main challenge users face is proprietary lock-in; these files cannot be opened by standard viewers like Microsoft Visio or web browsers. To share these diagrams with colleagues who lack the software, it is essential to convert them to universal formats like PDF for viewing, Visio VDX for cross-platform editing, or SVG for web publishing.
- CANdela Diagnostic Data: Developed by Vector, this format is an industry-standard for automotive ECU diagnostics. Internally, these are often structured XML data files. While highly specialized, engineers often need to convert these to standard XML or HTML reports to parse diagnostic trees without needing the full CANdelaStudio environment.
- CD Autorun Project: A legacy format used by CD Autorun Creator to define splash screens and menus for CD-ROMs. These are effectively ZIP archives containing images and configuration text. Users dealing with old archives can simply rename the extension to zip to extract and view the assets.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CDD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CDDZ, CCD, ODX-D, DBC and A2L files.
The CDD Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CDD converter.
