How can we improve Illustrator (desktop)? Vote or share a new idea — one request per entry, please.

← Illustrator (Desktop) Feature Requests

Open, import, save, and export .CGM files

Illustrator CC advertises compatibility with the Computer Graphics Metafile (.CGM) format.
While it gives me the option to open a .CGM file, all of the older .CGM files I work with throw an "unknown format" error when I try to open them.
I would also like an option to save .CGM files.
Illustrator should include these features.

    Why hasn't this issue been resolved? Why was the ability to open and save .cgm files modified and/or removed from newer versions of Illustrator?
    The .cgm graphics I was able to open and save with older versions of Illustrator, no longer open at all with the newer versions of Illustrator (v28.0).

    Why is there still no option of saving a CGM file from Adobe Illustrator. This option was always available in the older versions of Adobe.
