I have used some auto-trace programs and online tools. At best the results are poor (IMHO).
Even with very basic line or shape drawings I find that there are 10 or more times the nodes I would create by manually tracing. Usable but messy to edit the resulting curves. I would not expect Serif to add auto-trace as a feature.

What I would like to see added is the reverse of one feature that is already in AP & AD. We can convert a curve to a selection but how about the ability to convert selection(s) to curve(s). Is this an option? Has it been consider/attempted and written off as a 'no go'?

There is hope because there is a rudimentary "feature" in Publisher, so Serif has already made a small step in this direction many years ago:
