What is a CVX file? A CVX file is a drawing file created by various Canvas GFX applications, such as Canvas X Draw (Windows version only) and Canvas X Geo, programs used to create technical illustrations and other drawings. It may contain both raster and vector graphics and include project drawing settings such as layers and image effects. Canvas X Draw (Windows version only) and Canvas X Geo save drawings as CVX files by default.
