Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) technical notes
Importing a CGM file
• CorelDRAW can import CGM Version 1, 3 and 4 files.
• The CGM filter accepts only markers supported by the CGM file format standard. Private-use markers are ignored.
• Text is editable, provided the file is exported from the source program with the correct text options specified. The typeface you see may
not correspond to the one used in the source program; however, you can easily correct the typeface in the Corel program.
• 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.
Exporting a CGM file
• CorelDRAW can export version 1and 3 CGM as well as WebCGM 1.0 files.
• can export version 1, 3, and 4 CGM and WebCGM 1.0 files.CGM files can be saved in text or binary format. Text-encoded files can be
opened in an ASCII text editor.
• PostScript textures are converted to curves.
• You can add a hotspot to a callout shape.
CorelDRAW (CDR)
CorelDRAW (CDR) files are primarily vector graphic drawings. Vectors define a picture as a list of graphic primitives (rectangles, lines, text,
arcs, and ellipses). Vectors are mapped point by point to the page, so if you reduce or increase the size of a vector graphic, the original
image will not be distorted.
Vector graphics are created and edited in graphics design applications, such as CorelDRAW, but you can also edit vector graphics in image-
editing applications such as Corel PHOTO-PAINT. You can use vector images of various formats in desktop publishing programs.
