About the CGM format
CGM — Computer Graphics Metafile
CGM is an international ISO standard for storing and exchanging 2D vector graphics. It is widely used in technical documentation, engineering, and aviation/aerospace industries where a vendor-neutral vector format is required by standards bodies.
Common uses
- Aerospace and defense technical illustrations
- ATA 100 and S1000D aircraft documentation
- ISO/IEC standard compliant engineering drawings
- Converting legacy technical documentation graphics
About the JEF format
JEF — Janome Embroidery Format
JEF is the native machine embroidery format for Janome and Elna embroidery machines. Unlike DST it does store thread colour information, so a JEF file carries both the stitch path and the colour sequence the machine should follow.
Common uses
- Loading designs onto Janome and Elna embroidery machines
- Converting DST or PES designs for Janome hardware
- Home embroidery projects with colour sequences preserved
- Janome digitizing software output
