The EdG command file format is associated with the VAX family of computers and Intergraph's IGDS software. EdG stands for Edit Graphics.
An .edg file contains text commands that direct IGDS's EdG environment to perform graphics-editing operations. It is a command file rather than a standalone graphics drawing or image.
This is a legacy format from the VAX-based IGDS environment. Digital Equipment Corporation provided the VAX platform commonly associated with these files, while Intergraph developed IGDS.
To use an .edg file, run it in a compatible Intergraph IGDS and EdG environment, typically on a VAX system. The exact command used to execute the file depends on the IGDS installation.
A plain-text editor may display the commands, but it cannot perform the graphics operations they specify. Modern graphics applications generally do not open this format directly.
There is no general-purpose converter for EdG command files. The commands depend on the IGDS and EdG environment and are not themselves a portable graphics format.
If a compatible IGDS installation is available, the file can be run there and the resulting graphics may be exported using that installation's supported output formats.

EDGE Diagrammer is diagramming software from Pacestar Software for Microsoft Windows. Its native EDG format stores editable diagrams created in the application.
An EDG file can contain the objects, graphics, connections, and other diagram data that make up a technical diagram, presentation diagram, or design flowchart. It is intended to be reopened and edited in EDGE Diagrammer rather than used as a general-purpose image format.
The format is associated with the Windows version of EDGE Diagrammer. The application can export or print diagrams for use outside the program, while the EDG file preserves the editable source diagram.
Open the file in EDGE Diagrammer on Microsoft Windows. Use the application's Open command and select the EDG file.
Other diagramming or image applications may not support the native EDG format, so use EDGE Diagrammer to view or edit the complete diagram.
There is no general-purpose converter for the native EDG format. Open the file in EDGE Diagrammer and use its export or print functions to create a non-editable copy in a supported image or document format.
