What is a DDC file?

DDC files mostly belong to Decos Document Control. DDC files are not a single type of file but rather containers for various kinds of data.
When you encounter a DDC file, it may be used for one of the following purposes:
  • Document Metadata: Often, these files act as a Decos Document Container that holds metadata for document control systems.
  • Design Data: In electronic design automation, a DDC file may store Design Compiler Data including constraints and design information. Tools from Synopsys are used to manage such files.
  • Device Configuration: Some DDC files serve as configuration files for Datalogic scanners, recognized as Datalogic Device Configuration files. These are handled using Datalogic’s configuration tools, as seen on Datalogic.
  • Game Save Data: In gaming, especially in titles like Deadliest Catch: The Game, a DDC file may record progress and settings.
  • Chart or Report Data: In some systems, DDC files keep dynamic chart data or design reports associated with DataFlex systems.
  • FilExt.com note: Each variant of a DDC file requires the correct application to view or edit its content.

    How to open a DDC file

    You need a suitable software like Decos Document Control to open a DDC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DDC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DDC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
