Hello Danzil,

As far as I’m concerned, DrawPlus x8 still works perfectly (W11).

I don’t know if this is the cause of your problem, but an object must be selected for certain tools to become active.

Why are some tools no longer active?

Hey Serif Family:
I just opened my Draw plus x8, and noticed that a number of my tools are no longer active. Some are greyed out. This was never an issue. Granted, I have not used them is quite a wile, but this is strange. Also, it is occurring with my Page Plus x9. Is there something I can do?
