Can't Invoke an Add-In

The airfoilgenerator Add-in indicates it is running when I look at the menu item. Right clicking shows the location folder and that seems to be  correct, but when I try to select it nothing happens. Some of the other Add-ins like 1000Garages works in the Make pulldown menu and Xomotry Add-in works from the tool bar. I expected to see a popup menu when invoked but nothing happens. Is this an Add-in  that only works with a paid version of Fusion 360?

Hello,

I installed the add-in and it seems to run as intended in my case.

I created a sketch and under the Create Panel invoked the Airfoil command. This dialogue popped up next to the Sketch palette and (although I'm no aviation expert) seems to produce the desired result.

An add-in can insert its command(s) anywhere within the Fusion UI. Ideally, it's somewhere that makes sense, but it may be difficult to find if there's no obvious location. The best thing is to look at the add-in's documentation, especially any screenshots that might show where the command is located.
