Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is an open, platform-independent metafile format used for storing and exchanging two-dimensional graphics. It supports RGB color. CGM files can contain both vector graphics and bitmaps, but they usually contain one graphic type or the other — rarely both.

|
| • | You can import files formatted in CGM versions 1, 3, and 4. |
| • | The CGM filter accepts only markers supported by the CGM file format standard. Private-use markers are ignored. |
| • | If the CGM file contains a font that is not on your computer, the PANOSE font-matching dialog box lets you replace the font with an available one. |
| • | You can add a hotspot to a callout shape. |
