CGM Conversion Guide
CGM to SVG conversion built for engineering documentation
Reforge is a desktop CGM to SVG converter for teams publishing technical illustrations where visual fidelity and repeatability matter. It is designed for engineering, aerospace, and defense documentation pipelines that cannot tolerate rendering drift.
Why CGM to SVG conversion is difficult in production
Many converters can open CGM files, but production workflows fail when output must stay consistent across profile variants, downstream CMS platforms, and repeated revision cycles. Teams typically see breakage in line styles, text placement, and color mapping when file sets come from mixed sources.
How Reforge handles high-fidelity output
- Preserves geometry and styling details needed for technical publications.
- Supports profile-sensitive workflows including WebCGM and ISO/IEC 8632 variants.
- Runs locally on Windows so source files stay inside your environment.
- Includes validation output to help QA teams review conversion exceptions quickly.
