NW Stonewise Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have been using DrawPlus forever and finally decided to try out the Affinity but I am not finding the AutoTrace tool and I see there have been some discussions on it saying it was not available but the last postings on it I am seeing are from 2018, is that still the case? Also is there a way to get a User Guide? I am kind of old school and like to have something that I can have in front of me for looking up answers?!?
