How to open YDD file?
The main problem with Visual YANG Designer Document Format is that the YDD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open YDD, 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 YDD 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 Visual YANG Designer
In this case, you should first verify that the Visual YANG Designer application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Visual YANG Designer into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open YDD files.
Programs to open YDD file
Remember to download programs supporting YDD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual YANG Designer with YDD files
If, despite the installed application, the YDD file does not start in the Visual YANG Designer application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 YDD file with the Visual YANG Designer program.
Step 3. Update Visual YANG Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Visual YANG Designer program with the Visual YANG Designer Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MG-SOFT page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YDD 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 YDD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to YDD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YDD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected YDD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of YDD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YDD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file YDD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the YDD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YDD 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 YDD to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
