Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is an international standard for storing vector graphics, raster images, and text in a single device-independent file. Standardised as ISO/IEC 8632, CGM was designed so that technical drawings would look identical on any system, and it remains heavily used in aerospace, defence, and engineering documentation — the S1000D and ATA specifications for technical manuals both rely on it.
CGM is not supported by everyday image viewers. On Windows, IrfanView and XnView MP display many CGM files.
For full fidelity, professional tools such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and dedicated CGM viewers from technical publishing vendors do a better job with complex engineering drawings. LibreOffice Draw imports simpler CGM files. Converting to PDF or SVG is usually the easiest way to share a drawing with colleagues.
