How to open CDDZ file?
The main problem with ConceptDraw Document Format is that the CDDZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CDDZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CDDZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install ConceptDraw PRO
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ConceptDraw PRO is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ConceptDraw PRO into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CDDZ with ConceptDraw PRO. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CDDZ files.
Programs to open CDDZ file
Remember to download programs supporting CDDZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ConceptDraw PRO with CDDZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CDDZ file still does not use the ConceptDraw PRO program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CDDZ file with the ConceptDraw PRO program.
Step 3. Update ConceptDraw PRO to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ConceptDraw PRO program, it is possible that ConceptDraw Document Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Odessa Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CDDZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CDDZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CDDZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CDDZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDDZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CDDZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CDDZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CDDZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CDDZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CDDZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CDDZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
