    I'm trying to setup some IK on my rigged 2D sprite.
    I used the psb importer to import and then rig my sprite. But I can no longer find the IK manager in the components.
    Do I need to install it externally? I remember doing this in the past and the IK manager was just there without needing to install extra components.
    I can't seem to find any info about this issue online...

    Unity version: 2019.3.12f1
    2D Animation package version: 3.2.2

    I've provided screenshots of my currently installed packages and the "add component" menu. Screen Shot 2020-05-08 at 8.24.23 PM.png Screen Shot 2020-05-08 at 8.25.42 PM.png

    I am having the exact same issue!

    What a coincidence. I am on the latest version of Unity.

    I opened unity's sample 2D project (it's preloaded when you create a new project using the 2D template).
    In it there is a sample scene named "IK". I though I might be able to grab the script from it, but no. The character has a missing mono script component...
    So IK has truly gone missing.

    Hmm, IK should be there. Can you go to the Package Manager and choose All Packages and make sure you've checked Show Preview Packages?

    I can see it in 2019.3 with those settings.

    Hi! In Unity 2019.4 2D IK is under the Preview Packages category.

    And note that in Unity 2020.3 and onwards, the 2D IK package is merged into the 2D Animation package.
