| Description | The SDC file format, short for "StarOffice Drawing," is primarily designed for creating and editing 2D vector graphics, including flowcharts, diagrams, and technical drawings. It's associated with open-source office suites, LibreOffice and its predecessor, OpenOffice.org. The SDC format is an XML-based file format, with each graphical object stored as a series of drawing instructions detailing its position, size, and other attributes. |
| Technical details | This format supports layers, allowing multiple objects to be grouped and manipulated as a single entity. SDC files are editable using a variety of applications, including LibreOffice Draw, also known as Apache OpenOffice Draw. SDC files can be easily converted to other vector formats like SVG or PDF, or to raster formats such as PNG or JPEG. Furthermore, SDC files are compatible with Microsoft Visio, but some features may not be fully supported. For example, certain drawing tools or complex layer structures might not translate perfectly. |
