Thank you for the great suggestions. I’m learning to use Affinity Designer for Mac, and it’s definitely in the running against AI. I can create SVGs and also make text paths.

I’m also using AD for prepping files, falling back to Illustrator only for missing features, e.g. autotrace. I dredge up inkscape only for some of the laser-related plugins.
AD is a great program and is a steal for under $50.

I remember that you and a few more are also using AD, but I think you might be further ahead in it than I am. I contacted AD asking about an auto trace feature and they responded that they’re working on it. It is a great program, though.
I use Super Vectorizer 2 for auto trace on the Mac but unless you get it on sale it’s a bit expensive.
I’m sure Affinity Designer will get an auto trace feature pretty soon. It’s one of the main things they’re missing.

it does works very well, I have had the program for several months now. Here is an example of the program on my computer. You are welcome to use the files.
