Excellent for my needs

I bought this to make marketing material, mainly datasheets and posters, in vector format, so I could easily scale them to pretty much any size.
This tool was easy to use (I’m not a huge graphics designer) and worked perfectly for me.
Now if there was a way to easily convert between North American and ISO paper sizes, it would be perfect!

Absolute Input ,

This app should be getting more attention!

I'm a professional graphic designer. Adobe, Corel, Xara, Inkscape… and more recently, on Mac, Sketch and Affinity Designer. For vector graphics, this app, Graphic, is surprisingly accurate and usable professionally. Far more so than Sketch, which although has been receiving all the attention in professional circles is sorely lacking in accuracy and extremely buggy in its handling of vector graphics. Autodesk's Graphic suffers none of this.

If accuracy is important to you, particularly for professional PDF or SVG output, this app, Graphic, is an excellent choice. There are features missing (most notably artboards or the concept of multiple pages), but the core of what this application provides is excellent (and artboards are something we designers lived without for years).

Compared to Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator? Well, I believe Graphic could get there with not too much more than it's already got!

Good but in need of an update

Right balance of power and usability. Unfortunately, I'm starting to wonder if it has been abandoned, last update is from 2y ago now. In particular an update for M1 would be awesome.
