The Anno Designer is a standalone windows application that can be used for creating and exporting layouts. It uses a drag/drop system and is intuitive and easy to use. The Anno Designer supports the following Anno versions: 1404, 2070, 2205, 1800.
Download the latest version from the Releases page. Run it, and use it to design layouts!
This application is written in C# (.NET Framework 4.7.2) and uses WPF.
The .NET Framework is available via Windows Update and further information about installing is avaialable on this site.
The building presets and icons are extracted from game files using the RDA explorer and a custom script written by Peter Hozak. See the development pages at wikia: http://anno2070.wikia.com/wiki/Development_Pages
Sting_McRay has also done a lot of work on this, extracting icons from Anno 2205 and Anno 1800.
Included in this repo is a modified version of the PresetParser - which supports the extraction of data from all the different Anno versions. It is not required to run the app (and is not included in any release).
