This is regarding the issue facing to open the CGM files through Adobe Illustrator(AI).

Since after updating the adobe illustrator to new version 2021, it is not possible to open the CGM files through adobe illustrator. Earlier, before updating the AI it was possible to open.

PFA of error popup in AI while opening the CGM file.

Kindly look on to this issue and respond with the needful info.

Is this all CGM files or just one?

What is your OS version and Illustrator version?

I just tried a sample CGM file from here:

http://netghost.narod.ru/gff/sample/images/cgm/index.htm

and it opened fine on Windows 10, AI 25.3.1

This is for all the CGM files.

OS version is Windos 10 & AI 25.2.1

The techdraw.cgm file which is in the link you shared, even I am able to open it. But unable to open the similar one's which I have exported from EC.
