Notes about the CGM file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The CGM file type is primarily associated with 'Computer Graphics Metafile'. ISO/IEC 8632 provides a file format suitable for the storage and retrieval of picture description information. The file format consists of an ordered set of elements that may be used to describe pictures in a way that is compatible between systems of different architectures, compatible with devices of differing capabilities and design, and meaningful to application constituencies. This picture description includes the capability for describing static images. The metafile is defined in such a way that, in addition to sequential access to the whole metafile, random access to individual pictures and individual context-independent application structures is well-defined. This format is used by many different CAD programs.

Cannot access CGM files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open CGM files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
