CD is a file format used by Visual Studio software development environment. CD fields store class diagrams that help visualize and analyze the source code structure. A class diagram is generated based on the application code. CD files store data in XML markup.
CDI files are used for storing disc images created using DiscJuggler software tool. What is the difference between a disc image and a backup copy? Disk image not only contains all the data stored on the cloned disc, but also information about the physical layout of the data bits on the disc.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CD file after converting to CDI may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CD to CDI to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CD to CDI does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CD format, properly converted to a CDI file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CD file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to CDI on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CD file in its original format (without conversion to CDI file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
