The DDFCreator is a support program that is easily operated which helps you to create new DDFs for DMXControl. DDFCreator is also freeware like DMXControl and may be used and passed on free of charge.
DDFCreator offers many functions which make it easier for you to create DDFs and distinguishes it from ordinary XML editors. DMXControl works with a DDF-Zip system. The Zip file includes a XML file which represents the real DDF as well as further image files which are used in the DDF.
DDFCreator works with the two formats.

DMXControl and DDFCreator go perfectly together because they both belong to the DMXControl project. Innovations in the DDF system are immediately integrated into both programs whilst paying attention to backwards compatibility.

Some of the supported functions:

• All of DMXControl supported controls can be easily inserted in the DDF.
• Graphical structure with representation of the DDFs, how the DDF will look in DMXControl.
• Positioning and scaling of the controls with the mouse.
• Undo function in case of errors.
• Every control has a property window for settings.
• Procedure and Sequence library, to access fast approved program code.
• Loading of existing DDFs in XML or ZIP format.
• Saving of DDFs as XML or ZIP files. Avoids additional zipping of XML files.
• Online update function. On request the DDFCreator connects with the DMXControl server automatically to check for the latest DDF updates.
• DDF upload function. With one click you can load your created DDF onto the DMXControl server. Through this the whole Community profits from your work.
• Detailed documentation with tutorial for the DDF creation available.
