Worries

I can’t use Pro Align Tools even if I turn it on…

Cause

Blender and add-on versions are not compatible

This time, I will introduce what to do when you cannot use the paid add-on “Pro Align Tools” in Blender.

Problem: Pro Align Tools cannot be used

Pro Align Tools are not available.

・I have Pro Align Tools enabled, but I cannot use it.
・Alignment tools are not visible on the view.

No warning will be displayed.

Cause 1: Blender and add-on versions are not compatible

I was using Pro Align Tools v2.00 with Blender 2.81, 2.82, and 2.83.

Then I realized that it can be used with Blender 2.81, but not with 2.82 or 2.83.

Solution 1: Run Blender with administrator privileges

  • Run Blender with administrator privileges.
blender Running as an administrator

The Pro Align Tools icon will now change from gray to the alignment tool.

However, because the versions of the add-on and Blender did not match, the objects could not be manipulated.

Solution 2: Match the add-on and Blender versions

I couldn’t use it unless the versions of Blender and the add-on matched.

Lastly

Pro Align Tools is a great add-on.
