| Corel Presentation Exchange Format | Corel | Vector Image Files |
The .CMX file extension is associated with CorelDRAW, a vector image editing application developed by Corel Corporation. CMX stands for Corel Metafile Exchange, a file format used for interchange of large image files in vector as well as raster format. It is used to draw complex graphics, often containing overlays or combined vector and raster elements. These image files can be opened and edited using CorelDRAW, or through any other applications capable of handling CMX files. CMX files are saved in a compressed format and usually come with two different types of files - one containing the image itself in specific compressed formats and the other containing the navigation information such as thumbnails.
File Format Details
CMX files are stored in an industry standard format which makes it possible to open these files on both Windows and Mac operating systems. Depending on the version used to save a CMX file, they may be associated with additional files including other Corel graphic formats such as CDT, CCP and CAT, color profile options such as CMYK and RAYB, bitmaps such as CUR and BMP or even special effects such as KPT. The exact structure of CMX files is also specific to each version of the software; however, the basic structure is similar across all versions.
Similar File Extensions
CMX files are related to other CorelDRAW file extensions, such as .CDT, .CCP, .CDR, .PLT, .CPC, and GRD.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CMX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CMX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CMX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CMX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CMX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CMX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CMX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CMX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CMX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CMX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
